@felipeelia , how to embed it on WP? , I mean how exactly to I make the appear in a certain place on my site?

login into wordpress admin panel then go to Appearance>>editor in the right side you'll see a full listing of all files, find "Templates" below that search for header.php and add the code in there

is there a way in which you can put this in a shortcode? so that you can place cart count on any page.

@JeffNicholls97

Yes, just add this to you themes function file:
add_shortcode (woocommerce_header_add_to_cart_fragment', 'woocommerce_header_add_to_cart_fragment' );

Then use the short code wherever you want

For example:

add_shortcode ('woo_cart_but', 'woo_cart_but' );
/**

• Create Shortcode for WooCommerce Cart Menu Item
  */
  function woo_cart_but() {
  ob_start();

   $cart_count = WC()->cart->cart_contents_count; // Set variable for cart item count
   $cart_url = wc_get_cart_url();  // Set Cart URL
  
   ?>
   <li><a class="menu-item cart-contents" href="<?php echo $cart_url; ?>" title="My Basket">
   <?php
   if ( $cart_count > 0 ) {
  ?>
       <span class="cart-contents-count"><?php echo $cart_count; ?></span>
   <?php
   }
   ?>
  

       
<?php

return ob_get_clean();

}
