## Description

A light plugin that automatically updates cart page and mini-cart when product quantity
is changed. Removes the default “Update cart” button. Optionally turns off cart 
page notices.

#### Features

 * Cart page and mini-cart widget are updated automatically on quantity change through
   Ajax (no page reloading).
 * “Update cart” button is removed from the cart page.
 * Both mouse and keyboard changes are supported.
 * Works for custom dropdown lists with ‘qty’ class.
 * Compatible with plugin [Qty Increment Buttons for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/qty-increment-buttons-for-woocommerce/).
 * Uses the default WooCommerce cart update event.
 * Cart update is delayed by time in milliseconds since the last action affecting
   quantity, changeable in plugin settings, default 1000. It means that the update
   will fire only once when the customer is done with changes.
 * Optionally change min quantity in the cart from 0 to 1, on by default.
 * Optionally remove all notices from the cart page, on by default.

## Installation

#### Recommended:

Install and activate from WordPress “Plugins > Add New” screen.

#### Manual installation:

 1. Unzip plugin file and upload folder to directory /wp-content/plugins/
 2. Activate plugin in WordPress \”Plugins\” menu.

## FAQ

### Will this plugin work correctly on my website?

Ajax Cart AutoUpdate for WooCommerce is designed to work on any WooCommerce-based
website. It’s tested for compatibility with version 3.0 (previously 2.6) and newer.
It uses the default Ajax update event for the cart page, exactly the same as the“
Update cart” button, for 100% compatibility.

### Update delay is set to 0. Why doesn’t my cart update instantly?

This plugin relies on the same event as “Update cart” button and none of them will
update instantly. To update the quantity on the backend, a request needs to be sent
from the website to the server and then a response back to the website. How fast
it happens, is based entirely on the server response time.

### Quantity field on my cart page disappeared. How to fix it?

By default, this plugin changes the minimum quantity in the cart from 0 to 1. If
min = max quantity, WooCommerce hides the quantity input field, so all products 
with max quantity = 1 will have it hidden with this setting checked.

### My cart page notices disappeared, how do I restore them?

Removing cart page notices is enabled by default in plugin settings. Simply uncheck
this option.

### Can I remove only selected cart page notices?

Currently, it’s not possible. Removing cart page notices is only an addition to 
the core functionality of this plugin, however, if enough users communicate me that
such feature is important, I will consider it for future releases.

### Will this plugin affect my page speed?

Very little, it’s a small plugin that executes only on the cart page.

Plugin is working fine but it's showing this error:WooCommerce has detected that
some of your active plugins are incompatible with currently enabled WooCommerce 
features.

### 󠀁[It is HPOS compatible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-is-hpos-compatible/)󠁿

 [David](https://profiles.wordpress.org/divorcetheworld/) July 30, 2024

Unfortunately, HPOS compatibility is not declared, but the code is compatible [by
my review]. You can add code to the primary plugin file to declare compatibility
if you would like: add_action('before_woocommerce_init', function(){ if ( class_exists(\
Automattic\WooCommerce\Utilities\FeaturesUtil::class ) ) { \Automattic\WooCommerce\
Utilities\FeaturesUtil::declare_compatibility( 'custom_order_tables', __FILE__, 
true ); }});
