Update WooCommerce Cart After Adding Variable Product Via AJAX

I’ve assembled the link to add a variable product to my cart like so but I’m at a loss on how to then “refresh” the cart without reloading the page. My guess is that I’m not properly making this AJAX add to cart request and therefore, the woocommerce_add_to_cart_fragments (where I believe my cart HTML would be placed for refresh) isn’t being called.

$addToCartLink = '?add-to-cart=' . $prod->id . '&variation_id=' . $var_id . '&attribute_pa_quantity-attribute=' . $var_quantity;

jQuery.get($addToCartLink, function() {
    //refreshCart();
}); 

If anyone can just point me in the right direction I’d be greatly appreciative. Variable/AJAX/WooCommerce docs seems to be rather sparse.

  1. @helgatheviking – Thanks, I found that a few hours after I posted. This also provided a mega assist https://github.com/wp-plugins/woocommerce-ajax-add-to-cart-for-variable-products/blob/master/js/add-to-cart-variation.js.

    Here was my finished solution in case it helps anyone.

    I’m storing my var_id and product_id as data attributes and quantity and the var_name are hardcoded in this instance. .doodleVarButton is the class I apply to all my variable item add to cart links.

    The JS

    jQuery( function( $ ) {
    
        $( document ).on( 'click', '.doodleVarButton', function() {
    
            var var_id = $(this).data("varid");
            var product_id = $(this).data("prodid");
    
            var data = {
                action: 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_variable_rc',
                product_id: product_id,
                quantity: 1,
                variation_id: var_id,
                variation: 'quantity-attribute'
            };
    
            jQuery.post( woocommerce_params.ajax_url, data, function( response ) {
    
                var fragments = response.fragments;
    
                if ( fragments ) {
    
                    $.each(fragments, function(key, value) {
                        $(key).replaceWith(value);
                    });
    
                }
    
            });
    
        });
    

    The extended WC action (threw in functions.php)

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_woocommerce_add_to_cart_variable_rc','woocommerce_add_to_cart_variable_rc_callback' );
    function woocommerce_add_to_cart_variable_rc_callback() {
    
        $product_id = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_product_id', absint( $_POST['product_id'] ) );
        $quantity = empty( $_POST['quantity'] ) ? 1 : apply_filters( 'woocommerce_stock_amount', $_POST['quantity'] );
        $variation_id = $_POST['variation_id'];
        $variation  = $_POST['variation'];
        $passed_validation = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', true, $product_id, $quantity );
    
        if ( $passed_validation && WC()->cart->add_to_cart( $product_id, $quantity, $variation_id, $variation  ) ) {
    
            do_action( 'woocommerce_ajax_added_to_cart', $product_id );
            if ( get_option( 'woocommerce_cart_redirect_after_add' ) == 'yes' ) {
                wc_add_to_cart_message( $product_id );
        }
    
            WC_AJAX::get_refreshed_fragments();
    
        } else {
            //$this->json_headers();
            header('Content-Type: application/json');
    
        $data = array(
            'error' => true,
            'product_url' => apply_filters(  'woocommerce_cart_redirect_after_error', get_permalink( $product_id ), $product_id )
            );
            echo json_encode( $data );
         }
    
            die();
    }  
    

    Then – the key – WC_AJAX::get_refreshed_fragments calls the crucial woocommerce_header_add_to_cart_fragment function where you update your cart. My cart is modularized in a separate PHP file.

    Just make sure ‘xxx’ in $fragments[xxx] matches the container for your cart code.

    function woocommerce_header_add_to_cart_fragment( $fragments ) {
    
    ob_start();
    
    include( dirname(__FILE__) . "/../views/checkout-bar.php");
    
    $fragments['div.checkout'] = ob_get_clean();
    
    return $fragments;
    }
    add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_fragments', 'woocommerce_header_add_to_cart_fragment' );
