Cart/checkout not updating new product meta info (price/backorder message)

Hi @ahmedzeidan – We generally would suggest the following plugin: https://woocommerce.com/document/clear-cart-and-sessions-for-woocommerce/
Let us know if you have any questions!

Ji @jricketts4 Thanks for your reply and the recommendations.

I believe this might not be the best solution for me since I need the sessions to be active for abanded cart feature that I am using.

Is there a way to override the sessions with the updated stock value and price?

Hi @ahmedzeidan – this is likely something that can be achieved with a bit of custom code. I do see that this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41784282/17045934 seems to have a solution for a similar issue. Is that something that might work for your case?

Let us know!

Thanks @katinthehatsite

That looks for a promising solution to force the cart fragment update… will be implementing this and testing it out soon. Thanks again.

Hi @judagutor ,

I have tested the below solution and it did not work:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41782403/force-woocommerce-to-update-fragment/41784282#41784282

Maybe it is outdated as I can see it is since 4 years ago.

Would be really interested to see if there is a more updated solution to force updating the cart fragments on the cart/checkout page.

This is important since some products would receive meta updates (e.g. stock status changing to backorder with a message or item price change) and it is ideal to have the cart/checkout update this for a better user experience.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hi @ahmedzeidan,

Have you also tried the most voted answer here which triggers a core handler in Woocommerce to refresh fragments via Ajax? There is also another script here for you to try.

Please note we do not provide support for custom coding and you may want to try it at your own risk. It’s a good idea to back up your site and database before making any changes.

If you need more help with the actual coding, we’d recommend getting in touch with a web developer or one of the customization experts listed at: https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

Cheers.
