Using woocommerce [add_to_cart_url id="xx"] shortcode

[byronclinic]

I’m needing to use the woocommerce shortcode that allows me to add a ticket to the cart via a url, [add_to_cart_url id=”xx”]

This works fine but bypasses tickets.php

I’m hoping to skip the cart as we only have one event and only want to jump straight to checkout after adding a ticket to the cart using the http://www.mysite.com/?add-to-cart=xx url method of adding products.

I was trying to use to use add_to_cart_redirect but apparently this isn’t used by WooTickets and I also can’t make the customisation in tickets.php

Any clues on how I might be able to bypass the cart after adding a product using [add_to_cart_url id=”xx”] would be appreciated.

Hi byronclinic – can you take a look at the following thread which covers pretty much the same thing?

woocommerce "add_to_cart_redirect" filter useless with wootickets…

Let me know if you need any further help after reviewing that. Thanks!

Thanks Barry, looks like I need to filter wocommerce_get_cart_url

Great, sounds like you’re on track 🙂

And the correct location to do this in my child theme’s functions.php?

Or in wp-content/my-child-theme/woocommerce/woocommerce-functions.php?

That’s something I would have to leave to your discretion.

We typically suggest people add snippets to their theme’s functions.php file simply because that is least confusing for those who are unfamiliar with the workings of WordPress and indeed PHP.

However, adding it in a child theme, whether directly in the child theme’s functions.php file or some more compartmentalized location – or even housing your work in a plugin of its own – could arguably be better.

Closing this out since it’s been a while.
