Want to remove specific WooCommerce product from a cart?<\/h2>\n

WooCommerce provide ‘WC()->cart->remove_cart_item(string $cart_item_key)’<\/b> function to remove a product from cart. if we go through WooCommerce Documentation<\/a> , wewill find that it accepts cart_item_key as parameter.<\/p>\n

So All we need is to get the cart\u2019s item key and remove accordingly.<\/p>\n

We Know while adding an item to cart requires just its product ID, removing it from the cart we need to know the \u201ccart item key\u201d .<\/p>\n

Many Times in WooCommerce we need to remove a product from cart using product ID, if a certain condition is met we follow these steps:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Generate Cart Id From Product Id.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Then Find Product In Cart Using Product Cart Id.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. If Product Exist Remove Product From cart.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example :<\/h3>\n

    Add this code to template redirect function.<\/b><\/p>\n

    function<\/span> ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart<\/span>() {\r\n\u00a0if ( is_admin<\/span>() ) return<\/span>;\r\n\u00a0$product_id = 1234<\/span>;\r\n\u00a0$product_cart_id = WC<\/span>()->cart->generate_cart_id<\/span>( $product_id );\r\n\u00a0$cart_item_key = WC<\/span>()->cart->find_product_in_cart<\/span>( $product_cart_id );\r\n\u00a0if ( $cart_item_key ) {\r\n\u00a0\u00a0WC<\/span>()->cart->remove_cart_item<\/span>( $cart_item_key );\r\n\u00a0}\r\n}\r\nadd_action<\/span>('template_redirect'<\/span>,'ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart'<\/span>); <\/code><\/pre>\n
    This Function is used when the page reload.
    \nBut in some case we need to remove it using the ajax .<\/p>\n
    No need to worry about it, it’s same process like the previous ,the only difference is previously we used it in template_redirect hook,but now we use it in ajax function.<\/p>\n
    Add this code for ajax function registration function.<\/b><\/p>\n
    function<\/span> ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart<\/span>() {\r\n\u00a0$product_id = $_POST['product_id'];\r\n\u00a0$product_cart_id = WC<\/span>()->cart->generate_cart_id<\/span>( $product_id );\r\n\u00a0$cart_item_key = WC<\/span>()->cart->find_product_in_cart<\/span>( $product_cart_id );\r\n\u00a0if ( $cart_item_key ) {\r\n\u00a0\u00a0WC<\/span>()->cart->remove_cart_item<\/span>( $cart_item_key );\r\n\u00a0\u00a0return<\/span> true;\r\n\u00a0}\r\n\u00a0return<\/span> false;\r\n}\r\nadd_action<\/span>('wp_ajax_remove_item_from_cart'<\/span>, 'ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart'<\/span>);\r\nadd_action<\/span>('wp_ajax_nopriv_remove_item_from_cart'<\/span>,'ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart'<\/span>);<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Script:<\/b>
    \nAdd this script for calling ajax function.<\/b><\/p>\n
    $.ajax<\/span>({\r\n\u00a0type: \"POST\"<\/span>,\r\n\u00a0url: '#site url#\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php'<\/span>,\r\n\u00a0data: {action : 'ProgrammaticallyRemoveProductFromCart'<\/span>,'product_id' <\/span>: '1234'<\/span>},\r\n\u00a0success: function<\/span>(res) {\r\n\u00a0\u00a0if (res) {\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0alert<\/span>('Removed Successfully'<\/span>);\r\n\u00a0\u00a0}\r\n\u00a0}\r\n});<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
