Not possible to complete order with free products

    I create orders from backend and let customers complete them from their frontend using the link:
    https://myshop.mydomain/checkout/order-pay/189?pay_for_order=true&key=wc_order_XXXXXXX

    However, if the total order value is $0.00 then it’s not possible for them to complete the order. It just shows a warning with the text:
    This order’s status is “Pending payment”—it cannot be paid for. Please contact us if you need assistance.

    If the order contains products that have a price more than $0.00 then it works as intended.

    Any idea of how to make it possible to complete an order that has “free”-products?

    In my test my payment gateways didn’t show. obviously because it’s free.

    Yeah sorry. It’s really hard to troubleshoot requests like these without a URL.

    @serafinnyc you are involved in my other post as well. I have the link and credentials there to test, it’s the same site ??

    @serafinnyc could you verify the same behaviour on your site?

    So the issue here is that the order needs to be completed from My Orders page, thus it’s not a bug in WooCommerce but a customization. Here is how to solve it.

    The code that causes the problem is located here:

    
# includes/wc-class-order.php

        /**
	 * Checks if an order needs payment, based on status and order total.
	 *
	 * @return bool
	 */
	public function needs_payment() {
		$valid_order_statuses = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_valid_order_statuses_for_payment', array( 'pending', 'failed' ), $this );
		return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_needs_payment', ( $this->has_status( $valid_order_statuses ) && $this->get_total() > 0 ), $this, $valid_order_statuses );
	}

    More specifically this causes the problem $this->get_total() > 0

    So to override this filter, add this to your functions.php

    
//Allow pay for order when the total price is $0.00 in frontend
function check_order_payment($th, $order, $valid_order_statuses) {
  return $order->has_status( $valid_order_statuses );
}
remove_filter('woocommerce_order_needs_payment', WC_Order);
add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_needs_payment', 'check_order_payment', 10, 3 );

    Hi @vatanbytyqi!

    Nice solution!

    I agree with you that this is not technically a bug, but expected behavior since the product is actually free and therefore wouldn’t need payment. But I also understand that you need this in your case ??

    I’m going to mark this as resolved now – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
