Load shortcode with ajax

Hi, can you provide an example of what you are trying to achieve?

Thank you

I made a form to sell a product, but the final price is calculated (with js) depending on the quantity the customer wants to buy.
I would like to change the “add to cart” button with the calculated price.

Hi, unfortunately that is not possible with our plugin as far as I know.

Kind regards

I managed to achieve what I wanted, here is how:

Add this PHP code (maybe in the functions.php of your child theme)

function load_addtocart_button() {
	$price = $_POST['price'];
	$qty = $_POST['qty'];
	$result = do_shortcode('[wp_cart_button name="Test Product ('.$qty.' units)" price="'.$price.'"]');
	wp_send_json( $result );
}
add_action('wp_ajax_load_addtocart_button', 'load_addtocart_button');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_load_addtocart_button', 'load_addtocart_button');

in your page add an HTML bloc with a code similar to this :

<div id="addtocart_container"></div>
<script type="application/javascript">
    function calculate(qty) {
        let unit_price;
        if (qty < 260) {
            unit_price = 0;
        }
        else if (qty >= 260 && qty < 500) {
            unit_price = 1.07;
        }
        else if (qty >= 500 && qty < 1000) {
            unit_price = 0.77;
        }
        else if (qty >= 1000 && qty < 2000) {
            unit_price = 0.72;
        }
        else if (qty >= 2000 && qty < 5000) {
            unit_price = 0.69;
        }
        else if (qty >= 5000 && qty < 10000) {
            unit_price = 0.63;
        }
        else {
            unit_price = 0.57;
        }
        return (qty*unit_price).toFixed(2);
    }

    (function($) {
        $('#form-field-price').prop('readonly', true);
        $('#form-field-qty').on('change', function() {
            let qty = $(this).val();
            let price = calculate(qty);
            let ajaxurl = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.hostname + '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php';
            $('#form-field-price').val(price);
            if (price > 0) {
                $.post({
                    url: ajaxurl,
                    data: {
                        action: 'load_addtocart_button',
                        qty: qty,
                        price: price,
                    },
                    success: function(data) {
                        let $container = $('#addtocart_container');
                        $container.html(data);
                        $container.find('[name="_wp_http_referer"]').val(window.location.pathname);
                        $container.find('[name="cartLink"]').val(window.location.href);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    })(jQuery);
</script>

The “Add to cart” button will be displayed in your div container with every needed parameter.
