How does Auto Update Cart work?

When a customer changes a product quantity on the cart page, the plugin automatically triggers an AJAX request to recalculate totals. Subtotals, taxes, shipping, and coupon discounts update in real-time without requiring a page reload.

Does it remove the Update Cart button?

The plugin makes the manual Update Cart button unnecessary by automatically updating totals on quantity change. The button behavior depends on configuration — it can be hidden or kept as a fallback option.

Will it slow down my store?

The plugin uses a configurable delay between quantity change and update request to prevent rapid-fire AJAX calls. This keeps server load minimal while providing responsive cart updates.

Does it work with coupons and shipping calculations?

Yes, the automatic update recalculates everything — line item totals, subtotals, tax amounts, shipping costs, and coupon discounts all update when quantities change.

Is it compatible with custom cart page designs?

The plugin works with standard WooCommerce cart templates. Heavily customized cart pages may need compatibility testing, but standard and most theme-based cart pages work without issues.
