RaCar Clear Cart for WooCommerce

Description

This plugin allows you to add a customizable button to clear the cart. The button appears on the WooCommerce’s cart page and when pressed, it asks for confirmation if the shopping cart should really be cleared. If the shopper clicks ok, it will remove all items from their WooCommerce shopping.

You may change the text for the questions. Also the position and colors of the button.

AFTER INSTALL

After installation and activation, on the plugins page, find RaCar Clear Cart for WooCommerce on the list and click ‘settings’ right under the title. It’ll take you to the plugin’s settings page. Another way of getting there is through the left admin menu. Find the RaCar Plugins handle and click it.

HOW TO USE IT

On settings page, choose your options such as colors and text and enable the plugin so the button will show.

The button itself is a ‘<button type=”submit”>’ HTML tag, has the ‘class=”button”‘ and ‘id=”clear-cart”‘, so you’re welcome to add your own CSS to it. If doing so, leave the options on options page blank. In failing to do so, you’ll have to use the ‘!important’ to some of the elements such as ‘background’ and ‘color’.

RESET SETTINGS

So far, the only way to reset your settings is unistalling the plugin and installing it back on. Just deactivating and activating will NOT reset settings, only the unistalling will.

Languages

This plugin was written in English and has Brazilian Portuguese transalations. Este plugin está traduzido em Português do Brasil.

FAQ

Where can I find documentation for this plugin?

There is not one yet. As the plugin is so easy to use, the screenshots above should suffice to get you on the right track.

My button seems broken

Try and strip other CSS from the button. The button itself is a ‘<button type=”submit”>’ HTML tag, has the ‘class=”button”‘ and ‘id=”clear-cart”‘.

Where can I get support or talk to other users?

If you get stuck, you can ask for help in the Plugin Forum.

Finally an Empty Cart button that works as it should! Even with Ajax shop.I treat the developer to a cup of coffee and tip at the same time that a function where you can set a redirect to another page could be nice as well.

It works great, the possibility to customize the button is enough. We can change the expressions on the noses by translating them into our own language. It works perfectly compared to other plugins that we’ve run into with weird problems. Thanks.

I can’t believe Woocommerce can’t have a default Clear Cart. Large online shopping sites all have one. This solved my problem, as no way in hell should any shopper have to wait 48 hours for a cart to clear if they clicked on the wrong item or changed their mind and went with another product. This plugin works perfectly and within minutes – download, install, change button appearance – done. Thank you.
