WooCommerce: Calculate Subtotal On Quantity Increment @ Single Product

From a UX point of view, ecommerce customers may enjoy a little improvement on the WooCommerce single product page. As soon as they increase the add to cart quantity, it’d be nice if product price could be recalculated or maybe if a “TOTAL” line could appear so that users always know how much they are about to add to cart.

Honestly, this is hard to explain it this way, so the best is if you look at the screenshot. Enjoy!

Product price is $34 and quantity is 10, therefore the “Total” is now $340. Whenever quantity changes, “Total” updates its value.

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"

Does this snippet (still) work?

Please let me know in the comments if everything went as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting.

    Dear Rudolfo,

    thanks for your helpful Code Snippets. Is it possible to show the subtotal price in another currency format? For example: 15,10 € . The subtotal price is 15 euros and 10 cent.
    We would be very happy if you had an idea. Have an nice day 🙂
    Best regards from Germany Lena

    Hi,

    Can it be modified to fit the yith dynamic pricing ajax discount?

    To show the total price for each discounted variant quantity, instead of the unit price?

    Hi Rodolfo.

    This one worked out perfectly.

    I have another query, suppose i have set of products I want to sell and by default I have set quantity as 4. I want the actual product price equal to the default quantity that is set, then later calculate it after the quantity is increased.

    Thankyou

    Calculate Subtotal Based on Quantity – WooCommerce Single Product not working for Variable products ..
    As you can see simple product name – Salted pista Rs 599 Total price is changing on increasing the quantity, on vairable product i.e Dried dates, Its 299- 600 the price is as per the weight , so whenever i’m updating the quantity on different weights, the total amount is still default to the main cost Rs 299, its not changing with the weight price.

    but i think this could be a problem on the grouped products too
    Thanks

      That’s possible, probably I only tested it on Simple products

    this works, yet, it doesn’t account for the specific variation price, but rather the lowest price possible of the item.

    Do you know how to adjust the code so it adds the specific variation price, and not just the lowest priced variation?

    It’s working on my site but it’s not changing the total price when it’s a variable product.

    It works, but does not conform to the currency settings of the site. In Europe decimals are separated with a comma and not a dot.

      Yes, you’ll need to adjust the JS to print the format you want

    Great snippet, thanks! Rather than adding the div price subtotal output, I adapted the script to target the class of the existing WC product price so they update when the quantity changes. Worked perfectly 🙂

    This would be even better and more useful to the customer:

    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form', 'bio_product_and_subtotal_on_product_page_on_qty_change' );
function bio_product_and_subtotal_on_product_page_on_qty_change(){
global $product;
$product_price = (float) wc_get_price_to_display($product);
$cart_subtotal = (float) WC()->cart->subtotal + $product_price;
$price_0_html = wc_price(0);
$price_html = '<span class="amount">'.number_format($product_price, 2, ',', ' ').'</span>';
$subtotal_html = '<span class="amount">'.number_format($cart_subtotal, 2, ',', ' ').'</span>';
printf('<div id="totals-section"><span class="product-total">Product total: %s</span><br /><span class="cart-subtotal">Cart subtotal: %s</span></div>',
str_replace([' amount','0,00'], ['',$price_html], $price_0_html),
str_replace([' amount','0,00'], ['',$subtotal_html], $price_0_html)
);
?>
<script>
jQuery( function($){
var productPrice = <?php echo $product_price; ?>,
startCartSubtotal = <?php echo $cart_subtotal; ?>;
function formatNumber(floatNumber){
return floatNumber.toFixed(2).toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ' ').replace('.', ',');
}
$('input[name=quantity]').on( 'input change', function(){
var productQty = $(this).val() == '' ? 1 : $(this).val(),
productTotal = parseFloat(productPrice * productQty),
cartSubtotal = productTotal + startCartSubtotal - productPrice;
cartSubtotal = $(this).val() > 1 ? parseFloat(cartSubtotal) : parseFloat(startCartSubtotal);
$('#totals-section > .product-total .amount').html( formatNumber(productTotal));
$('#totals-section > .cart-subtotal .amount').html( formatNumber(cartSubtotal));

});

    Hello,
    I thank your blog, it’s super cool.
    I using this code in my site, but de code not function it doesn’t work when I add the product via the ajax add card.
    I think it is the JS that is not being read, can you tell me how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hi Rodolfo: I saw this code implemented on a site I visited the other day and thought it was a nice feature to have. So, thanks for sharing this code with us as it is much appreciated! I have already added the code to my dev site.

      The only other enhancement I need to make to this code is for Variations. Shouldn’t be pretty easy and straight-forward to add the code.

          Hi Dave! Did you figure out how to adapt it for product variations?

          If you did, I’d love to know how you did it. I’m trying to make it work, but it doesn’t seem to be doing it.

          Thanks Rodolfo, great code!

    Hey Rodolfo, I agree – this will definitely improve UX. I’ll make sure to use it on my next WooCommerce project. I feel Woo should actually include this functionality in core. Maybe one day. 🙂
