I am rendering WooCommerce Cart items in a custom html table wrapper by a form that points to a custom PHP file.

<form class="woocommerce-cart-form" action="/update-cart.php" method="POST">
    ...
    <input type="submit" name="update_cart" value="Update cart">
</form>

When I click on update cart, I get redirected via POST to update-cart.php where I do some business related actions with the PHP $_REQUEST.

After doing those actions, I want to call to the WooCommerce original update action, but I am stucked.

This is what I have tried:

// Non of this has worked for me

do_action('woocommerce_update_cart_action_cart_updated'); // 1

WC()->cart->persistent_cart_update(); // 2

do_action('update_cart_action'); // 3

How should I call WooCommerce's update action?

Thank you.

    What exactly are you trying to update in the cart? The update_cart form handler is WC_Form_Handler::update_cart_action(); you could read that and see how it does whatever you want to do.

  • I cannot instantiate WC_Form_Handler class, I am getting a 'class not found'. How can I get a WooCommerce class instance?

    I don't think you should be, unless you want to process updates from a posted form? And it's a static method anyway: I'd guess you'll have to require_once wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wp-form-handler.php if it really isn't found, and then you can call WC_Form_Handler::update_cart_action() statically.

    Actually looking at class-woocommerce.php, WC_Form_Handler is loaded automatically for all frontend requests, so you shouldn't have to load it yourself. But if you really do have to, try include_once WC_ABSPATH . 'includes/class-wc-form-handler.php';

  • You are right, the class is already loaded. If you answer the question I will mark it as the solution. Thank you very much.
