WooCommerce Side Cart (the XootiX plugin and similar implementations) attaches a slide-out drawer to add-to-cart clicks, with inline quantity edits, recommendations, and a checkout button. The cart contents are still backed by WooCommerce's native session storage, but the drawer-open, drawer-edit, and checkout-click events are logged by the plugin or its companion tracker. That log is the heart of the slide-out cart story.

SleekView Charts reads those event rows along with the underlying orders. A Number counts drawer opens this month. A Pie splits opens into add-to-cart-triggered versus manual-click. A Bar lists products that most often land in the drawer. An Area trends checkout-button clicks per day so the team can see whether a UI tweak pulled more shoppers into the checkout funnel.

The plugin's settings screen handles the drawer appearance and the trigger rules. SleekView covers the analysis layer, with a saved dashboard that finally answers the recurring question of whether the side cart actually moves the needle, with data.

Most modern WooCommerce themes ship with some form of slide-out cart because the interaction reliably reduces friction between add-to-cart and checkout. The plugin or theme that provides the drawer usually logs the events but does not surface them, so the team running the store has to take it on faith that the drawer helps. SleekView Charts reads the event log and turns trigger type, product, and checkout click into chart axes.

Open volume, conversion to checkout, and time-trend live in one saved view. The plugin keeps owning the drawer UI; SleekView charts what happens inside it.
