Displaying the Total Quantity of a Product in WooCommerce Cart Badges: A Step-by-Step Guide

When running an online store using WooCommerce, it’s crucial to ensure that customers have a clear understanding of their cart contents. A common requirement for many store owners is to create a shortcode that accurately shows the total quantity of a specific product in the cart, especially when dealing with variable products that have multiple options like size or color.

The Problem

Many WooCommerce users encounter a problem similar to this one: You want to create a shortcode, which displays the quantity of a specific product that the customer has in their cart. However, for variable products, it’s important to reflect the total quantity of the parent product rather than the individual variations.

Let’s consider an example. A customer has the following items in their cart:

Product - Small (2 in cart)

Product - Medium (1 in cart)

Product - Large (3 in cart)

In this scenario, you'd want your shortcode to show 6, which is the total quantity across all variations of that particular product.

The Initial Approach

You may have started by utilizing the WooCommerce function WC()->cart->get_cart() within your shortcode function. However, you noticed it was only returning the quantity for the most recently added variation instead of the total across all variations.

Here's a Sample of the Initial Code:

The Solution

The updated solution involves modifying your shortcode to accumulate the quantities of the parent product by looping through the items in the cart and adding up the quantities for all variations.

Updated Code

Replace your initial shortcode code with the following improved version:

Explanation of the Code

Shortcode Attributes: We start by extracting the product ID from the shortcode attributes.

Cart Check: We verify if the cart is empty or if the ID is missing.

Total Quantity Calculation: We loop through each item in the cart, adding up the quantities of the product based on the provided product ID.

Return the Quantity: Finally, we return the total quantity if it is greater than zero; otherwise, we return an empty string.

Final Thoughts

By implementing this solution, you can ensure your WooCommerce shop provides customers with an accurate representation of the total quantities of products, even across different variations. This small enhancement can significantly improve your user experience and help boost conversions.

Now, go ahead and update your WooCommerce shortcode with the new function!
