How to Conditionally Hide the Cart Page Coupon Field in WooCommerce

WooCommerce is a versatile and popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress, allowing store owners to manage products, customers, and orders. However, sometimes store owners want to customize their cart pages to enhance user experience. One common requirement is to conditionally hide the coupon field depending on the product categories in the cart.

In this guide, we’ll delve into how you can achieve that functionality in a clean and efficient way, while also addressing some common errors you might encounter in your code.

Understanding the Problem

You may want the coupon field to be hidden on the cart page unless certain products (from specific categories) are present. For instance, you might only want to enable the coupon field when a product from the discount category is in the cart.

The Original Approach

The original code attempt looks like this:

However, you noticed that this code sometimes generates an error stating:

This error indicates that the WC() object might not be properly initialized when being referenced, leading to issues in the execution of your WooCommerce logic.

Solution: A Cleaner Approach

To resolve the error and enhance efficiency, let’s modify the original code. The following code ensures that checks are in place to avoid null reference errors when accessing the cart:

Breakdown of the Code

Filter Initialization:

We initiate a filter with add_filter('woocommerce_coupons_enabled', 'hide_coupon_field_dinner_dances'); to intercept the default behavior of coupon display.

Cart Access:

$cart = WC()->cart; establishes a reference to the WooCommerce cart object.

Conditional Checks:

We check if we are in the cart page and if the cart object exists with is_cart() && $cart && method_exists($cart, 'get_cart').

Category Specification:

You designates which product categories dictate the visibility of the coupon field.

Looping Through Items:

A simple foreach loop scans through the cart items to check if any belong to the specified category (discount).

Coupon Field Logic:

If a product with the specified category is found, $enabled is set to true, thus displaying the coupon field.

Conclusion

Customizing your WooCommerce cart not only enhances customer interaction but also helps streamline promotions based on product categories. The code provided is a more reliable version that avoids typical errors encountered in the original attempt. Implement this code carefully, and you'll effectively manage the visibility of coupon fields on your cart page.

By following these steps, you can tailor your WooCommerce cart page to fit your store’s needs while avoiding intermittent errors! Happy coding!
