Adding multiple items to WooCommerce cart at once

php woocommerce

I have 3 IDs of the different items that I want to add to my shopping cart. I could use https://url.com/shop/cart/?add-to-cart=3001 but when I want to add 3 items I can't do it. Is there any function/script I can add to add this ability to my shopping website?

I tried to add an & after the add-to-cart and tried to add a new value but GETs get overridden right?: https://url.com/shop/cart/?add-to-cart=3001&add-to-cart=2002&add-to-cart=1001


I found the answer!

Simply add the following script to your theme's functions.php:

function woocommerce_maybe_add_multiple_products_to_cart() {
// Make sure WC is installed, and add-to-cart qauery arg exists, and contains at least one comma.
if ( ! class_exists( 'WC_Form_Handler' ) || empty( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] ) || false === strpos( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'], ',' ) ) {
    return;
}

// Remove WooCommerce's hook, as it's useless (doesn't handle multiple products).
remove_action( 'wp_loaded', array( 'WC_Form_Handler', 'add_to_cart_action' ), 20 );

$product_ids = explode( ',', $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] );
$count       = count( $product_ids );
$number      = 0;

foreach ( $product_ids as $product_id ) {
    if ( ++$number === $count ) {
        // Ok, final item, let's send it back to woocommerce's add_to_cart_action method for handling.
        $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] = $product_id;

        return WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_action();
    }

    $product_id        = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_product_id', absint( $product_id ) );
    $was_added_to_cart = false;
    $adding_to_cart    = wc_get_product( $product_id );

    if ( ! $adding_to_cart ) {
        continue;
    }

    $add_to_cart_handler = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_handler', $adding_to_cart->product_type, $adding_to_cart );

    /*
     * Sorry.. if you want non-simple products, you're on your own.
     *
     * Related: WooCommerce has set the following methods as private:
     * WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_handler_variable(),
     * WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_handler_grouped(),
     * WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_handler_simple()
     *
     * Why you gotta be like that WooCommerce?
     */
    if ( 'simple' !== $add_to_cart_handler ) {
        continue;
    }

    // For now, quantity applies to all products.. This could be changed easily enough, but I didn't need this feature.
    $quantity          = empty( $_REQUEST['quantity'] ) ? 1 : wc_stock_amount( $_REQUEST['quantity'] );
    $passed_validation = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', true, $product_id, $quantity );

    if ( $passed_validation && false !== WC()->cart->add_to_cart( $product_id, $quantity ) ) {
        wc_add_to_cart_message( array( $product_id => $quantity ), true );
    }
}
}

 // Fire before the WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_action callback.
 add_action( 'wp_loaded',        'woocommerce_maybe_add_multiple_products_to_cart', 15 );

And then you can simply use http://shop.com/shop/cart/?add-to-cart=3001,3282 to add multiple items at once. Put a comma between different IDs.

Thanks to dsgnwrks for the solution.


In case anyone else comes by looking for this function like I did. I updated the top comment's code allowing it to work with woocommerce 3.5.3

    // adds support for multi add to cart for 3rd party cart plugin
function woocommerce_maybe_add_multiple_products_to_cart() {
    // Make sure WC is installed, and add-to-cart qauery arg exists, and contains at least one comma.
    if ( ! class_exists( 'WC_Form_Handler' ) || empty( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] ) || false === strpos( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'], ',' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // Remove WooCommerce's hook, as it's useless (doesn't handle multiple products).
    remove_action( 'wp_loaded', array( 'WC_Form_Handler', 'add_to_cart_action' ), 20 );

    $product_ids = explode( ',', $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] );
    $count       = count( $product_ids );
    $number      = 0;

    foreach ( $product_ids as $product_id ) {
        if ( ++$number === $count ) {
            // Ok, final item, let's send it back to woocommerce's add_to_cart_action method for handling.
            $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] = $product_id;

            return WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_action();
        }

        $product_id        = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_product_id', absint( $product_id ) );
        $was_added_to_cart = false;

        $adding_to_cart    = wc_get_product( $product_id );

        if ( ! $adding_to_cart ) {
            continue;
        }

        // only works for simple atm
        if ( $adding_to_cart->is_type( 'simple' ) ) {

            // quantity applies to all products atm
            $quantity          = empty( $_REQUEST['quantity'] ) ? 1 : wc_stock_amount( $_REQUEST['quantity'] );
            $passed_validation = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', true, $product_id, $quantity );

            if ( $passed_validation && false !== WC()->cart->add_to_cart( $product_id, $quantity ) ) {
                wc_add_to_cart_message( array( $product_id => $quantity ), true );
            }

        }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'woocommerce_maybe_add_multiple_products_to_cart', 15 );

I found a solution for support variations:

Here I had forced $_REQUEST[ 'add-to-cart' ] to take the intended product id. Overwriting global variable doesn't sound good approach but it keeps DRY approach and also make all native function available to user.

add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'add_multiple_to_cart_action', 20 );

function add_multiple_to_cart_action() {
    if ( ! isset( $_REQUEST['multiple-item-to-cart'] ) || false === strpos( wp_unslash( $_REQUEST['multiple-item-to-cart'] ), '|' ) ) { // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.NoNonceVerification, WordPress.Security.ValidatedSanitizedInput.InputNotSanitized
            return;
        }

    wc_nocache_headers();

    $product_ids        = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_product_id', wp_unslash( $_REQUEST['multiple-item-to-cart'] ) ); // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.NonceVerification.NoNonceVerification
    $product_ids = explode( '|', $product_ids );
    if( ! is_array( $product_ids ) ) return;

    $product_ids = array_map( 'absint', $product_ids );
    $was_added_to_cart = false;
    $last_product_id = end($product_ids);
    //stop re-direction
    add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', '__return_false' );
    foreach ($product_ids as $index => $product_id ) {
        $product_id = absint(  $product_id  );
        if( empty( $product_id ) ) continue;
        $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] = $product_id;
        if( $product_id === $last_product_id ) {

            add_filter( 'option_woocommerce_cart_redirect_after_add', function() { 
                return 'yes'; 
            } );
        } else {
            add_filter( 'option_woocommerce_cart_redirect_after_add', function() { 
                return 'no'; 
            } );
        }

        WC_Form_Handler::add_to_cart_action();
    }
}

Same answer as others, with support for multiple quantities.
