hey guys and welcome back to the woocommerce series in this video we're gonna create a custom card so that you can easily add products to
your cards like this so that you will get a message like this you can view the card from here or from here and this is where we're gonna build
a custom cart page with completely free tools other than elementor pro so besides elementor pro you don't need anything to do this
so in the last episode we landed here and by the way if you're new to this series you can watch the previous episodes of
this series in the woocommerce playlist which you can find on livingroompixels.com playlist you can click over here to playlist and then click on woocommerce
to see all the videos if you're watching this there are videos over here so in the last episode we ended here where we created this custom grid page which automatically
filters based on the category you click on so let's first take a look on how our card looks right now so i'm gonna add a few products to the card like this and as you can see there is this full
width info bar which i don't really like the design of but it already works it's a little bit boring it doesn't look bad because astra by itself is pretty cool i'm using the theme astra for the people that don't know so esra is pretty cool if you like this design then you can just go along with it but what i want to do in this video is use a plugin called woola mentor and this plugin will
allow you to customize the things in woocommerce that you can't edit with elementor pro because for some reason elementor pro doesn't allow us to edit
the cart page and the checkout page and this plugin does but this plugin is not free there is a free version though
which we're going to use but the paid version if you click on pricing over here it's just a little bit too expensive for my taste i mean if you want the lifetime license you're paying 600 f r a plugin that only does a few things with woocommerce and i don't think that you can get better options for your money
things like croco block which i will talk about in future episodes of this woocommerce series because you will get a lot more for your money than this so i don't want to spend 600 on a plug-in only when it's really worth it but they have a free version as you can see so let's just get started with the free version so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna install that plug-in
just search for it there it is okay so once it activated you will see something like this and they have more options for example they also have a filter which is not
really customizable i tested it i didn't really like it so i'm just going to use this for the card page so what you want to do once you're installed is go to pages
and then just click on edit for your cart page because first you need to tell woocommerce that you want to edit this page with elementor nd just click this away and just click
on edit with elementor and now we can edit this page so this is now an elementor page so what i want to do is just delete this whole normal astra thing i also want to
delete this title so i'm going to go over here and i'm going to make sure that i set this page on the elementor full width so that will only give me the header
and the footer so here you see i am completely free to do whatever i want uh so what i want to do is create one column over here just make sure that this one is
stretched and this one is unboxed just let's start by adding a little bit of padding on the top and the bottom and then dragging our elements so if you
scroll down you can now see that we have nothing over here because for some reason we have to activate it so if you go back to that plugin you
click on free and then you can check this one all and then click on save and then all the free widgets are activated so then go back just click on update for
now and refresh and now if you scroll down you can see all these new things that you can use so the ones that i'm going to use in this video are of course the card
widgets so let's just drag in the card items first and there you can see it this is already a different design than astra and like i said before estra is not that bad but the options for
customization are just too limited and you will get a little bit more freedom over here so let's see what you can do for example you can hide different things so
if you don't want to display the category for example you can just turn it off over here actually i want that because then it's nicely aligned you can even
see that there's already a coupon code over here so that's already embedded inside of this widget but they do have a separate widget if you want to for a coupon code that you can also
customize if you want another design than this but for now i'm just going to use this first one so this already looks pretty nice the bottom section by the way that
is this part so what you want to do is go to the bottom section and then uncheck the proceed to check out that's this button because that button is also part of the
widget that you also need which is the total widget so if you uncheck this then it looks like this pretty nice go back to your widgets and also drag in the card
overview like this and here you can also see that same button but here is a nice total and that is an extra functionality on top of what you get over here i think
that is what a client wants to see but as you can see this is super wide so what i want to do is just duplicate this whole section and then in the second section delete the first one and then in the first section delete the total and then it looks like those two are connected then we need to change the padding again but now we have to free them to add
padding on the inside of this so for example i can add 70 on the left or 60 and that will make our page look like this also over here never forget to uncheck the padding
so it's perfectly aligned to the grid and now we can try to customize it a little bit okay so i've changed a few things the
fonts for example a little bit of the padding and now the only thing that i want to do is edit this one and to make it in line with what we have already created so let's go back to our shop for example this title i also want to bring that title in so i'm going to open the shop template again and i'm going to copy a style that i already have and bring it into our new page so let's just drag that in just make sure that we have the right text and then you can delete this title over here just slide this one and here you can see that it looks different okay let's change up the button let's
change up the style of this background the border is set to none but you can see that there is a border so if you put
this as solid and then put in a zero over here then you can see that this looks a little bit better you can also just make
it completely white so now it looks like this okay i also want to use that title on top of our main table okay so i'm just playing around a little bit with the colors and the styles to
make it fit like our design so it feels that we're still on the same website so a few little details that i want to show you for example in this
button we have the same font as in the titles
so to make it feel like one design you should also do that in this button so let's just do that right now
always try to use the global fonts option whenever possible okay so i've changed up
a few things let's just test it i'm gonna click on update
now we're gonna go back to our website
let's just keep this one open so we can
actually see the difference
i'm gonna open our card again and let's
put it next to each other
so yeah that looks already a lot better
so as you can see this is the previous
one and not very customizable
and a little bit boring and now we have
a design that is much
more in line with our web shop so that
is pretty cool
and i want to change one more thing to
make it more luxurious and that
is an image background so you already
know what i'm gonna do this is not
really hard to do
you just create a new column like this
give it a little bit of padding on the
inside
and you make sure to upload a background
image insert it
make sure that it's center center and
the size on
cover maybe make it a little bit bigger
like this
and then what i want to do is drag in a
discard text and put it inside of here
and as you can see i've made
this little line a little bit shorter
because it looks a little bit weird if
it's so long
all right that looks pretty good so
let's just update it now
go back to our card and click on refresh
and as you can see
this looks pretty cool okay so now we're
almost done
the last thing that i see over here is
these buttons which i didn't see in the
elementor editor
i don't know why so that's one of the
things that i don't really
like about this woolen mentor plugin but
i can't see your preview so now i have
to guess
that's not really nice so what i did on
this website is i just removed the
background so i just went
to the style tab inside of this widget
all right
and then i went to quantity because this
is the quantity tab
and then the background just clicked on
it and i just made sure that this one
is on zero so the opacity layer is on
zero and then just make sure that the
icon color is a color that you can see
so maybe the text color let's click on
update now and see if
if that works click on refresh and that
looks a little bit better there's still
a border so
even this says it's on none this is
another one of those
things that i don't really understand so
i'm gonna put this at solid and then at
zero and let's see what happens
click on update refresh and now you can
see that this looks better
does it still work does the price change
if i click on update card
yes it will change so that's perfect
let's see how it looks on a tablet mode
okay that is not the most pretty
but i think that it does the job don't
always forget to add your
paddings on mobile a little bit on the
left what i always recommend is 20
on the left and on the right to make it
fit nicely
also make sure to check your mobile
phone and this looks pretty good but on
this down column you
of course want to delete the padding
because otherwise it's going to be too
small
so this looks pretty decent for a free
plugin i mean let's be honest we're
working with free software
so we shouldn't really complain let's go
back one more time to our cart page
let's check it and that looks pretty
custom so i am happy with this
now let's go to the checkout page
because that's also a page that i want
to edit
and unfortunately there are not a lot of
things that you can edit here
if you want to edit this page with
elementor you of course have to go into
the edit page
then make sure that this page is
editable with elementor
then you can see that you have the same
kind of setup so then
you can also put this on a full width
and then you have the same freedom sd
card page
for example a custom title like this but
there's nothing that we can change over
here because woola mentor
as you can see does not offer anything
in the free version so
the last few details for this webshop we
need to change that within the theme
for example one of the things that i
want to do in the next episode
is make sure that that error message is
nicely designed
because right now on our website if we
add anything to the card
so for example three of these watches
you can see this error message which is
full screen which is not what i want
and i also want to change the styling a
little bit of this maybe add the same
phone style so i want to make it a
little bit more custom but we need to go
into the theme settings for that
and that's also true for the checkout
page so that's what i want to do in the
next episode and we also need to set up
the payment systems because right now
everything is in pounds
and maybe i want to set it up in dollars
or in euros
we need to integrate stripes so we can
actually accept payments
but i think that we achieved quite a lot
in this episode
again if you want to see all the
episodes it's on this page on the living
pixels website
again you can buy woolamentor if you
want to get more features but
honestly i would wait for another
plug-in crocoblock that i do recommend
on the links page by the way i don't
recommend
woola mentor because i think it's just
too expensive for what you get
but there is one a plugin that i
recommend to customize
a lot more uh like croco block you can
see over here i'm already building
another web shop a much more
complicated web shop with filters and
and a lot of fun stuff so that is
something that you can watch in future
episodes but for now i just want to work
with elementor pro and free tools and i
think that we have achieved quite a lot
already so i hope that you like this
video
if you have any questions then please
let me know and
then i hope to see you in the next video
[Music]
you
