Development preview for staging. Requires WooCommerce 10.6 or newer.
A configurable floating entry point to the native WooCommerce Mini-Cart drawer. WooCommerce owns products, quantities, removal, subtotal, focus and the route to cart/checkout. No license, account or telemetry required.

== Setup ==
Activate, open HookSpark > Side Cart Free, enable and save. Defaults are disabled, right side, dark green. Choose a left or right button and a contrasting accent. The floating entry point is omitted on cart, checkout, account, feeds and 404 pages. It does not remove a cart button already supplied by your theme.

== Editions ==
Premium is a separate plugin and takes precedence whenever active, even if its own overlay is disabled. Both keep separate settings. Free does not migrate Premium settings. Advanced templates, suggestions, coupon/undo controls, shipping progress and draft previews belong to Premium. Informational Pro controls are disabled in the Free admin and rejected by its server schema; no frontend promotions.

== Data and updates ==
Only the hs_smart_cart_free_v1 presentation option is stored by Free. WooCommerce continues to manage customer carts and sessions. Deactivation and removal retain settings for a later reinstall. No uninstall deletion or automatic update channel in this preview. Update manually with a newer ZIP after a backup.

== Limits ==
The drawer follows the native Mini-Cart template and WooCommerce translations. Test your theme, cart customizations, caching, consent banner placement and keyboard access on staging. Theme overrides can change its appearance. Native WooCommerce template customization is separate from Free settings. This version does not certify every extension, theme, minimum platform version or live payment gateway. Personal Free demo pending.

== Changelog ==
= 0.1.0-dev =
* Initial separate Free edition: native cart drawer, floating button, accent and position.
* Shared admin and EN/IT strings, explicit enablement and Premium precedence.
