There have been multiple posts regarding a product counter. This would have an unobtrusive graphic such as a shopping cart with a counter next to it.

This counter would update as products are added to the cart.

I came across [ this solution](https://www.virgowebdesign.com/blog/5-awesome-enhancements-you-can-apply-to-your-hikashop-e-commerce-store)  **using items # 1 and #2** but they are hacks and would need to be updated after each HS update.

Any possibility you could incorporate them into your next update?

Hi,

You can already do this without us doing anything in HikaShop.
There are two ways to do it:
- the default HikaShop cart module can be configured to be displayed in "mini cart" mode. In that case, the module will only display a text like "X items for Y€". So you could add a translation override to change that text to display an image with just the X, and add a bit of CSS to position the X with the image you decide to use.
Here is a thread where we talk about this:
[ www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-...n-into-the-menu.html](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-display/896686-adding-and-displaying-hika-shop-cart-module-via-cart-icon-into-the-menu.html)
- the other way is to use our cart design plugin:
[ www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/135...t-module-design.html](https://www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/135-cart-module-design.html)
The plugin changes the look of the normal hikaShop cart module so that instead of the "X items for Y€" message, it displays first a cart icon, then the X and then "Total : Y€", which can be removed with an option in the cart module.
So it's less flexible, but it means zero tinkering with the translation overrides.
