WooCommerce: Easily Get Cart, Checkout, Account, Product URLs
Just so you know, there is no need to hardcode WooCommerce URLs in your custom code! In fact, WooCommerce gives us helpful shortcut functions that we can reuse in our code to get cart, checkout, account and product URLs without wondering if they have been modified by the website owner e.g. example.com/cart to example.com/basket.
In this way, you can always make sure you’re getting the correct URLs without wasting time looking for page/product slugs. Enjoy!
No need to hardcode “https://——-.h4.conves.io/cart/” in my custom WooCommerce code… I can just use wc_get_cart_url()! Find more shortcuts below.
/* On a single product page */
get_the_permalink()
/* If you have the product ID */
get_permalink( $product_id )
/* If you have the $product object */
$product->get_permalink()
This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
