Programatically add to cart from a template

Mxkert · Jun 18th 2019

Hello,

I would like my customers to be able to add all the items from a previous order to the cart. I was trying to get this working by using the perch_shop_add_to_cart() function and passing the productID and quantity of the items.

I tried the following, but it only outputs the function as text and not as a php function:

Code

<perch:orderitems>
perch_shop_add_to_cart(<perch:orderitem id="productID" />,<perch:orderitem id="quantity" />)
</perch:orderitems>

Now I was thinking of looping through the amount of items in the order, and calling perch_shop_add_to_cart() for every item, but I am stuck at this point. How could I loop through the amount of items in the cart (not the quantity, but the different items).

Hello,

It looks like you're adding PHP to your HTML template so this won't work.

Assuming you're getting the previous order details with perch_shop_order(), you can skip the templating and programmatically add each item to the cart with perch_shop_add_to_cart().
