To add a WooCommerce icon (typically a cart or user/account icon) to the top navigation menu or header, follow the method that best matches your theme setup. Here’s a complete guide to adding the WooCommerce cart or account icon to the top of your site:


🛒 Goal: Add a WooCommerce Icon (Cart or Account) to the Top Navigation


✅ Option 1: Use Your Theme’s Built-In WooCommerce Icon Support

Many popular WordPress themes (like Astra, OceanWP, GeneratePress, Storefront, or Hello Elementor) have native support for showing WooCommerce icons in the header.

Steps:

  1. Go to Appearance > Customize
  2. Look for options like:
    • Header > Cart Icon
    • WooCommerce > Store Notice / Header / Account
    • Layout > Primary Menu / Header Elements
  3. Enable:
    • 🛒 Cart Icon
    • 👤 Account Icon (usually linked to “My Account”)
  4. Customize icon style and placement (some themes let you move it to the top bar or secondary menu).

🔔 If your theme supports a header builder, you can drag and drop the Cart or Account element into the header area.


✅ Option 2: Add WooCommerce Icons Manually via Menus

To add a Cart or Account link to the menu:

  1. Go to Appearance > Menus
  2. Under Pages, add:
    • Cart (/cart)
    • Checkout (/checkout)
    • My Account (/my-account)
  3. Use Custom Links if needed.

Optional: Add Icons to Menu Text

If your theme allows Font Awesome or icon fonts, you can include them like:

<i class="fas fa-shopping-cart"></i> Cart
<i class="fas fa-user"></i> My Account

⚠️ Only works if your theme or plugins support HTML in menu items.


✅ Option 3: Use a Plugin to Add WooCommerce Header Icons

Use a plugin for more control or if your theme doesn’t support WooCommerce icons out of the box.

Recommended Plugins:

  • WooCommerce Menu Cart (by WP Overnight)
    • Adds a cart icon with item count and total in the menu.
    • Highly customizable.
  • Elementor Pro or Header Builder Plugins
    • If using Elementor or similar, drag-and-drop a cart/account icon into your custom header.

🧩 Option 4: Use Shortcode or PHP (Advanced)

If you’re editing a custom theme or header:

WooCommerce Cart Icon (PHP):

<?php
    echo '<li class="menu-cart">';
    echo '<a href="' . wc_get_cart_url() . '"><i class="fas fa-shopping-cart"></i> (' . WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() . ')</a>';
    echo '</li>';
?>

Place this code inside your header.php (or a custom nav walker), wrapped in appropriate HTML.


🔄 Make Sure WooCommerce Is Set Up Correctly

  • Cart and My Account pages must be published and assigned under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced.
  • Icons won’t link correctly if these pages don’t exist or aren’t assigned.
