Hello, is there any way to create a handheld footer bar with shortcuts similar to the one that the Woocommerce theme brings by default? (storefront)

something like this

Hello Ricardo,

Yes, it's very doable by using block element.

I would also recommend you to use our block editor plugin Generateblocks. It works very well with block element.

Once you start to create the block element
1) choose Hook as block type, choose generate_before_footer as hook, choose location depends on your needs.

2) create buttons structure as screenshot shows below, set each container under grid to 25% width.

3) give the container above grid a class for later css, something like footer-buttons.

4) add icon to each container using the html editor.

For example, I add an svg into the button here:

5) add some css to position the block element.

.gb-container.footer-buttons {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0;
    z-index: 100;
    width:100%
}
.site-footer {
    margin-bottom:3.3em; /*may need to adjust this number*/
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Let me know if it works!

Everything worked perfectly.

I would like to go a little further:

1- Add item counter in the cart icon

2- Add search bar by pressing search button
I am using the Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin that is included in the Prime demo

Hi Ricardo,

Unfortunately Ying's solution is all the help we can provide for a custom solution like this - it's already a bit out of the scope of this forum.

The additional request requires some custom PHP coding that you might need to hire a developer for it.

Thanks for your understanding :)

Thank you so much for everything

Glad to help :)
