Adding a promotional product when a certain cart amount is reached

Question

I am looking for the right hook in WooCommerce because I need to add a promotional product to the cart when a certain cart amount of is reached, such as 100 conventional units.

I have also used the hook 'init' but I do not think it's right.

Here is my code:

function add_free_product_to_cart(){
    global $woocommerce;
    $product_id = 2006; 
    $found = false;
    if ( sizeof( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart() ) > 0 ) 
    {
        foreach ( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $values ) 
        {
            $_product = $values['data'];
            if ( $_product->id == $product_id )
            $found = true;
        }
        if(!$found)
        {
            $maximum = 100;
            $current = WC()->cart->subtotal;
            if($current > $maximum){
                $woocommerce->cart->add_to_cart( $product_id );
            }           
        }       
    }   
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart', 'add_free_product_to_cart' );

which hook I should use for that purpose?

Or could you give me a related link to to some similar problem?

Thanks

sorry this error must be add_action( 'init', 'add_free_product_to_cart' ); — Taras Bezdushnuy, Oct 03 '16 at 10:35

As you are targeting a certain cart amount to add a promotional product in the cart, you could use woocommerce_before_calculate_totals hook to achieve this with a custom built function.

You have also to remove that promo item if customer update the cart (which is embed in that custom function too).

Here is the code:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'adding_promotional_product', 10, 1 );
function adding_promotional_product( $cart ) {

    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
        return;

    if ( did_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals' ) >= 2 )
        return;

    $promo_id = 99; // <=== <=== <=== Set HERE the ID of your promotional product
    $targeted_cart_subtotal = 100; // <=== Set HERE the target cart subtotal
    $has_promo = false;
    $subtotal = 0;

    if ( ! $cart->is_empty() ){

        // Iterating through each item in cart
        foreach ($cart->get_cart() as $item_key => $cart_item ){
            $product_id = version_compare( WC_VERSION, '3.0', '<' ) ? $cart_item['data']->id : $cart_item['data']->get_id();
            // If Promo product is in cart
            if( $product_id == $promo_id ) {
                $has_promo = true;
                $promo_key= $item_key;
            } else {
                // Adding subtotal item to global subtotal
                $subtotal += $cart_item['line_subtotal'];
            }
        }
        // If Promo product is NOT in cart and target subtotal reached, we add it.
        if( ! $has_promo && $subtotal >= $targeted_cart_subtotal ) {
            $cart->add_to_cart( $promo_id );
            // echo 'add';
        // If Promo product is in cart and target subtotal is not reached, we remove it.
        } elseif( $has_promo && $subtotal < $targeted_cart_subtotal ) {
            $cart->remove_cart_item( $promo_key );
        }
    }
}

This code goes on function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or in any plugin file.

This code its tested and works.

I am only having one issue though. In regards to testing, when I use the arrows on the specific item in the cart to update the number of items in the cart (to reach a certain cart amount) an extra fee is added to the cart amount ONLY UNTIL i refresh the page OR continue to checkout...?? This is a weird issue. Is there anyway I can have the page automatically refresh when the Free/Promo Item is either added or removed to ensure that the customer is looking at the correct amount at all times? — JStormThaKid, Apr 19 '17 at 20:57
@LoicTheAztec Does this still work? I added it to my functions file and changed the promo id and targeted cart total but the item doesn't get added — Rob, Sep 11 '19 at 15:08
@Rob Just tested the code, It still works perfectly on last woocommerce version 3.7 — LoicTheAztec, Sep 11 '19 at 16:30
