Avoid virtual and physical products combination in WooCommerce cart
I have been searching for this for a long time but never seemed to find a possible solution.
Does anyone see any solution of how to allow only physical or only virtual products in one Woocommerce cart? Possibly, with a notice popping up when the customer tries to add a combination of both virtual and physical and disallowing the combination - or making sure that the combination cannot appear in one cart.
Having a combination in the order keeps causing errors..
Please help.
The following will avoid to combine physical and virtual products in cart:
// Check cart items and avoid add to cart
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', 'filter_wc_add_to_cart_validation', 10, 3 );
function filter_wc_add_to_cart_validation( $passed, $product_id, $quantity ) {
$is_virtual = $is_physical = false;
$product = wc_get_product( $product_id );
if( $product->is_virtual() ) {
$is_virtual = true;
} else {
$is_physical = true;
}
// Loop though cart items
foreach( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ) {
// Check for specific product categories
if ( ( $cart_item['data']->is_virtual() && $is_physical )
|| ( ! $cart_item['data']->is_virtual() && $is_virtual ) ) {
wc_add_notice( __( "You can't combine physical and virtual products together.", "woocommerce" ), 'error' );
return false;
}
}
return $passed;
}
// For security: check cart items and avoid checkout
add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'filter_wc_check_cart_items' );
function filter_wc_check_cart_items() {
$cart = WC()->cart;
$cart_items = $cart->get_cart();
$has_virtual = $has_physical = false;
// Loop though cart items
foreach( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ) {
// Check for specific product categories
if ( $cart_item['data']->is_virtual() ) {
$has_virtual = true;
} else {
$has_physical = true;
}
}
if ( $has_virtual && $has_physical ) {
// Display an error notice (and avoid checkout)
wc_add_notice( __( "You can't combine physical and virtual products together.", "woocommerce" ), 'error' );
}
}
Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
