Woocommerce Customization

Question

I am writing a "bike configurator" plugin for a bike shop that uses Woocommerce to host their product on Wordpress.

The idea is to enable the customer to select the parts and colours for their complete bike, I have linked the configurator to the products in the Woocommerce backend - so far so good. The problem is that the 'complete' bike package cost should be different to the sum of the individual parts.

My plan is to add a custom-field in Woocommerce "configurator_price", when I add the items to the cart add a 'complete_bike'=true flag in the cart item data. Then I need to use this price when checking out.

What hooks should do this? i.e. when and where is the cart item price saved?

Answer 1

Have a close look at the "classes/class-wc-cart.php" code. In there you will find functions related to the cart, and you'll notice "do_action" and "apply_filter" hooks in functions that you can use to interact with the cart when a product is added, or when the cart total is calculated, etc.
