Is it possible to make the add tickets button go straight to checkout?

[Matt]

On our site people can only buy one ticket for themselves so I’ve renamed the add tickets button to “Buy ticket” but haven’t found a way to change where it goes after adding it to the basket.

In the template it triggers this
<button type=”submit” name=”wootickets_process” value=”1″
class=”button alt”><?php esc_html_e( ‘Buy ticket’, ‘event-tickets-plus’ );?></button>

Wootickets process and I just need to find a way to change where it goes after adding them.

Any ideas?

p.s I tried adding
add_filter (‘add_to_cart_redirect’, ‘redirect_to_checkout’);

function redirect_to_checkout() {
global $woocommerce;
$checkout_url = $woocommerce->cart->get_checkout_url();
return $checkout_url;
}

To my functions file as per a few posts but wootickets ignores it.

Thanks

Found a possible fix that seems to work

In the tickets template the form submit URL goes off to the basket/cart
<form action=”<?php echo esc_url( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url() ) ?>” class=”cart” method=”post” enctype=’multipart/form-data’>

Changed to checkout
<form action=”<?php echo esc_url( $woocommerce->cart->get_checkout_url() ) ?>” class=”cart” method=”post” enctype=’multipart/form-data’>

Nice work, Matt! That is a solid solution and I appreciate you sharing that here with us and others — definitely a good workaround.

Cheers,
Geoff
