Make WC_Cart add_to_cart method working for guests in Woocommerce
Im trying to get my code to work. Searching for hours now.
I found similar questions like this one. But unfortunately noone seems to find a solution.
In my custom plugin I want to add a specific item to the WC cart and redirect the user directly to the checkout. As a logged in user it works like a charm but for guests it shows a blank page on checkout (woocommerce_checkout shortcode seems to return nothing in this case).
So I came up with a check if the cart iss till empty. Apparently it is because the "cart-page" shows "There are no items in the cart yet".
In code i check if the cart is still empty but it tells me its not!
Here is my code:
if(!$wooID = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT wooID FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."ceb_events WHERE id = $event")) die("ERROR GETTING WOOID");
WC()->cart->empty_cart();
if(!WC()->cart->add_to_cart( $wooID, 1 )) die("CART GOT NOT UPDATED. THERE IS AN ERROR 1.");
if(WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() == 0) die("CART GOT NOT UPDATED. THERE IS AN ERROR 2.");
//Here follows the redirect to checkout page
The code runs without errors. And it works 100% as a logged in user / admin. Just not as guest, even tho I allowed the guest checkout in the woocommerce settings.

Heyja, There is probably nothing wrong with the code. It works fine as logged in user. Its just the function add_to_cart from WooCommerce thats seems to create a problem after adding an item to cart when there is no logged in user.

You need to initiate Woocommerce User session when it's not logged in. So you will use the following:
add_action( 'woocommerce_init', 'force_non_logged_user_wc_session' );
function force_non_logged_user_wc_session(){
if( is_user_logged_in() || is_admin() )
return;
if ( ! WC()->session->has_session() )
WC()->session->set_customer_session_cookie( true );
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). It should works.
