How to Create a Cart Page Template

Enable the Widgets

Navigate to WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > JetPlugins Settings and unfold the JetWooBuilder tab.

Scroll down to the Cart Widgets section and check the cart widget toggles. They have to be turned on.

Create a template

Proceed to Crocoblock > JetPlugins > Woo Page Builder submenu and click the “Create New Template” button.

Choose the “Cart” option in the “This template for” drop-down menu. Name the template and click the “Create Template” button.

You can create templates both for an empty cart and a full one. There are five widgets offered by JetWooBuilder, especially for the cart template. Besides that, you can place any other widgets on the cart page, of course. 
However, let’s go through the JetWooBuilder extensions for the cart.

Cart Table

This widget adds a table of products the user added to the cart. The table has five columns displaying the product’s image, title, price, quantity, and subtotal price.

Each row has a “Remove” button, and there is an option to add a coupon under the table. In the Style menu tab, you can modify each of the elements so that they will suit your taste and fit the shop’s general design.

Cart Totals

Totals are a table that shows the customer the total price for the items he/she added to the cart and has a button leading to the checkout. Just as it is for the rest of the cart widgets, you can define how the totals table will look in the Style tab.

Cart Return To Shop

You should place this widget both on the empty and full cart page. It will add a button that will return the user to the shop page.

In any case, such a button will be convenient for customers and increase user experience. Besides that, it could encourage the client to purchase more.

Cart Empty Message

This widget creates a field with an icon and a message for the customer. It is clear from the title that it is commonly used to inform the client that the cart is currently empty.

Moreover, you can add a Cart Cross Sells widget, where the user will see products related to the ones already added to the cart.

Style every element of the cart page template and publish it.

Create a Cart Page

Also, the built cart template should be assigned to the page. To do this, first, go to the WordPress Dashboard > Pages > Add New Page to build a cart page.

Add a Shortcode block to the page and complete it with the [woocommerce_cart] value.

Press the “Publish/Update” button.

Assign the Template to the Page

Go to the WooCommerce > Settings > JetWooBuilder and scroll the page down to the Cart section.

Tick the Custom Cart Page checkbox and choose the template you’ve just created in the Thank You Template drop-down menu. After that, click the “Save Changes” button.

Proceed to the front end, add a product to the cart, and you will be redirected to the shopping cart page with the cart template you created before.

Create a Page Template

With the recent update of the JetThemeCore plugin, you can create page templates and assign the needed elements like body, header, and footer in a couple of clicks.

Proceed to WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > Theme Builder and click on “Create new page template.”

There will be a new pop-up window where you can set one or multiple conditions, according to which the given template will be either shown on specific pages or not.

Hit the “Add Condition” button and set the visibility conditions to Include > WooCommerce > Product Cart for this template.

Once you hit the “Create” button, you will see a new template in the JetThemeCore dashboard. Give it a name.

Firstly, click on the “Add body” button. Here you can create a template from scratch with the JetThemeCore plugin by adding the widgets described in the first part of this tutorial.

Or, you can simply click on “Add from library” and choose a template you already have, e.g., built with the JetWooBuilder plugin.

The color of the first icon under the Properties will indicate which plugin was used to create the chosen template.

Hit the “Use” button. The template is attached to the body now.

Add Custom Header and Footer to the Cart Template

JetThemeCore plugin allows adding custom headers and footers to the templates right from the JetThemeCore dashboard.

To add an element to the cart template, click on the “Add header” button and create a new header or choose one from the library.

Repeat the same steps and add a custom footer if needed.

Check the JetWooBuilder Settings

Now, when you are done with the template layout and design, it is time to check the JetWooBuilder settings.

Go to the WooCommerce > Settings pathway and open the JetWooBuilder tab. Scroll down to the Cart section and make sure that the Custom Cart checkbox is disabled.

There is no need to choose the template in the Cart Template drop-down menu as we have already assigned the template to the Cart page in the Theme Builder dashboard.

Scroll the page down and click the “Save Changes” button.

Proceed to the front end, add a product to the cart, and you will be redirected to the shopping cart page with the cart template you created before.
