Hello @alexliii
The term “Classic Cart” refers to the traditional shopping cart experience on WooCommerce sites. This experience is implemented through the use of a shortcode [woocommerce_cart]
, which renders the cart page with a fixed layout. Traditionally, this layout offered limited customisation options directly through the interface, as opposed to the more flexible block-based systems that are becoming increasingly popular.
Starting with WooCommerce version 8.3, the Cart and Checkout Blocks are the default for new installations. This feature offer a more modern and customizable approach to designing shopping cart and checkout experiences. They allow for drag-and-drop editing directly in the WordPress backend, giving site owners and developers the ability to tailor the shopping features more closely to their needs and preferences.
PayPal Payments plugin is designed to integrate seamlessly with WooCommerce, adapting to the evolving trends and technologies, including the Gutenberg block system. While our documentation may not explicitly detail the “Classic Cart” setup, it’s because this aspect is considered a part of the core WooCommerce functionality rather than something specific to our plugin.

I hope this clarifies your query. If you have further questions or need assistance with our plugin, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind Regards,
