In Woocommerce, I Would like co create add to cart link on a simple page of WordPress website (not product page).
So I have tried this code (Where 123 is the product ID):
<a href="http://example.com/cart/?add-to-cart=123">Buy</a>
I have enabled AJAX add to cart on archives pages Woocommerce option setting.
But It doesn't work and Ajax functionality is not enabled on my custom Add-to-cart link.
How to enable ajax add-to-cart on a custom link (in other pages than woocommerce ones)?
To enable ajax in a custom add to cart button, there is 3 ways at least:
A simple HTML Ajax add to cart link:
<a rel="nofollow" href="/?add-to-cart=37" data-quantity="1" data-product_id="123" data-product_sku="" class="add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart">Add to cart</a>
Using Woocommerce existing [add_to_cart id='123']
shortcode (same usage than above)
The most customizable: A custom shortcode without price included (customizable button text, additional classes, quantity and many others possibilities)
if( ! function_exists('custom_ajax_add_to_cart_button') && class_exists('WooCommerce') ) {
function custom_ajax_add_to_cart_button( $atts ) {
// Shortcode attributes
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
'id' => '0', // Product ID
'qty' => '1', // Product quantity
'text' => '', // Text of the button
'class' => '', // Additional classes
), $atts, 'ajax_add_to_cart' );
if( esc_attr( $atts['id'] ) == 0 ) return; // Exit when no Product ID
if( get_post_type( esc_attr( $atts['id'] ) ) != 'product' ) return; // Exit if not a Product
$product = wc_get_product( esc_attr( $atts['id'] ) );
if ( ! $product ) return; // Exit when if not a valid Product
$classes = implode( ' ', array_filter( array(
'button',
'product_type_' . $product->get_type(),
$product->is_purchasable() && $product->is_in_stock() ? 'add_to_cart_button' : '',
$product->supports( 'ajax_add_to_cart' ) ? 'ajax_add_to_cart' : '',
) ) ).' '.$atts['class'];
$add_to_cart_button = sprintf( '<a rel="nofollow" href="%s" %s %s %s class="%s">%s</a>',
esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ),
'data-quantity="' . esc_attr( $atts['qty'] ) .'"',
'data-product_id="' . esc_attr( $atts['id'] ) .'"',
'data-product_sku="' . esc_attr( $product->get_sku() ) .'"',
esc_attr( isset( $classes ) ? $classes : 'button' ),
esc_html( empty( esc_attr( $atts['text'] ) ) ? $product->add_to_cart_text() : esc_attr( $atts['text'] ) )
);
return $add_to_cart_button;
}
add_shortcode('ajax_add_to_cart', 'custom_ajax_add_to_cart_button');
}
This code goes on function.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Tested and works.
USAGE:
In posts and pages text editor:
[ajax_add_to_cart id='123' text='Buy']
In PHP files or templates:
echo do_shortcode( "[ajax_add_to_cart id='123' text='Buy']" );
Inserted in HTML code on a php page:
<?php echo do_shortcode( "[ajax_add_to_cart id='123' text='Buy']" ); ?>
Hide Ajax "view cart"
For custom shortcode, to hide the Ajax "view cart" behavior, you can add in the code, beforereturn $add_to_cart_button;
the following:$style = '<style>a.added_to_cart.wc-forward { display:none !important; }</style>'; $add_to_cart_button = $style . $add_to_cart_button ;
