Side Cart

This major update marks the first time CheckoutWC provides features outside of the checkout page. The side cart comes with the following features:

Floating Cart Button
Option to enable AJAX add to cart site wide
Free Shipping Progress bar
Support for custom cart open links and buttons

International Phone Field

The new International Phone Field adds additional validation to the phone field requiring customers to select their country to validate their phone number. In settings, you can choose how you want the phone to be saved to the database.

Check out the available options:

Raw Value: The number is stored exactly how the user entered it.
E164: Format phone number with E164 standard.
International: Format phone number with RFC3966 standard without the tel: prefix
National: Format phone number based on selected country. US Example (555) 555 – 5555, UK Example: 07911 123457
RFC3966: Format phone number with RFC3966 standard.

This comes in handy for customers using fulfilment services or SMS update services where phone numbers need to be normalised and provided in a consistent format.
