Follow the below steps to do it-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to &#8220;Appearance&#8221; in the left-hand menu and click on &#8220;Menus.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Select the menu by clicking on the drop-down menu at the top of the page.<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8220;Custom Links&#8221; on the left-hand side.<\/li>\n<li>In the URL field, enter &#8220;#&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>In the Link Text field, enter &#8220;Cart&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8220;Add to Menu.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;Cart&#8221; link should now be on your menu.

What to do now? Well, we can customize our cart icon by adding CSS code to our website.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of CSS code to stylize your cart icon-<\/p>\n<pre>\n<code>\/* Style the cart icon *\/\n.cart-icon {\n\u00a0 width: 30px;\n\u00a0 height: 30px;\n\u00a0 background-color: #f9a348;\n\u00a0 border-radius: 50%;\n\u00a0 display: flex;\n\u00a0 align-items: center;\n\u00a0 justify-content: center;\n\u00a0 color: #fff;\n\u00a0 font-size: 20px;\n}\n\n\/* Style the cart icon on hover *\/\n.cart-icon:hover {\n\u00a0 background-color: #fff;\n\u00a0 color: #f9a348;\n\u00a0 cursor: pointer;\n}\n<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Testing_Your_Cart_Icon\"><\/span>Step 4: Testing Your Cart Icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lastly, we must test our cart icon to ensure its smooth operation.
