How do I get a cart quantity in WooCommerce?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:26 pm

Adding a cart quantity to a WooCommerce store can be a bit tricky, as it requires some coding knowledge. There are a few methods you can use, depending on your store setup.

Method 1: using WooCommerce’s variables

WooCommerce allows you to use variables to store specific information about your store, such as your cart quantity. To do this, first create a new variable in your WooCommerce store’s settings:

Next, add a new cart quantity field to your products:

Now, you can use the variable to store the cart quantity for each product:

For example, if you have a product with a variable price of $10 and a cart quantity of 10, the WooCommerce store will assign the variable “10” to the cart quantity field for that product.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to get a cart quantity in WooCommerce, be aware that this may not work as expected. WooCommerce uses a unique system for managing cart quantities, which can sometimes result in unexpected behavior. If you encounter any problems, please contact the WooCommerce support team for help.

Method 2: using the wc_cart_quantity filter

If you don’t want to use WooCommerce’s variables, you can also use the wc_cart_quantity filter to add a cart quantity field to your products. To do this, add the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file:

function mytheme_WC_Cart_Quantity() { // add cart quantity field to products } add_filter( ‘WC_Cart_Quantity’, ‘mytheme_WC_Cart_Quantity’);

Now, you can add the filter to your theme’s functions.php file, and it will be automatically applied to all your WooCommerce products.

Note: If you’re using the Visual Composer plugin, you can also add the wc_cart_quantity filter to your theme’s pages.

Conclusion

Adding a cart quantity to your WooCommerce store can be a bit tricky, but there are a few methods you can use. Using WooCommerce’s variables is the easiest option, but if you don’t want to use variables, you can also use the wc_cart_quantity filter.
