CartSplitter – Partial Checkout for WooCommerce
The problem WooCommerce doesn’t solve out of the box: the cart is all-or-nothing. If someone wants to buy only some products — due to budget, timing, or splitting household vs. business items—they either abandon the whole cart or remove products manually and risk forgetting them later.
CartSplitter fixes that. On the cart page, each product line gets a checkbox (everything stays selected by default). Customers opt out of what they’re not buying right now. Those lines stay in the cart with clear “saved for later” styling, while totals, shipping, taxes, and coupons are calculated only for what they actually intend to purchase. When they complete checkout, the order contains the selected lines only; the rest of the cart is still there for the next visit.
Why store owners install it
- Fewer lost sales from sticker shock — Shoppers can complete a smaller order instead of abandoning a large cart.
- Honest totals at checkout — Shipping and discounts follow the selected subset, so customers aren’t surprised at pay time.
- Inventory stays honest — Nothing is silently deleted; unselected items remain in the cart with quantities restored after totals run.
- Clear operations — Partial orders can show a Partial badge in the admin order list so support and fulfilment know what happened.
- Built for modern Woo — Works with the classic cart/checkout and the Cart & Checkout blocks (Store API), and is HPOS-compatible.
Requires WooCommerce 7.0 or higher (tested through 9.9).
