Code Snippets WordPress Plugin

The Code Snippets WordPress plugin is a super simple way to run code on your WordPress website.

With this plugin, you will no longer need to add custom code to your theme’s functions.php file, which makes it way easier to add functionality to your website.

What is a code snippet?

A code snippet is a small chunk of code that you can use to add functionality to your WordPress website. The Code Snippets plugin gives you an easy-to-use interface to add different snippets, run them on your website, and manage them easily.

Create a new code snippet called “Add Quantity Field On Shop Page for WooCommerce”

Once you have the Code Snippets WordPress plugin installed and activated, open the plugin from the left-side menu, and add a new snippet.

Once you have the new code snippet created, we are going to add our desired PHP function (PHP is the coding language used to build WordPress).

Copy & paste this PHP code into the snippet

Copy this code to your computer’s clipboard and paste it into your snippet.

/**
 * Add Quantity Field On Shop Page for WooCommerce.
 */
function custom_quantity_field_archive() {

	$product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );

	if ( ! $product->is_sold_individually() && 'variable' != $product->product_type && $product->is_purchasable() ) {
		woocommerce_quantity_input( array( 'min_value' => 1, 'max_value' => $product->backorders_allowed() ? '' : $product->get_stock_quantity() ) );
	}

}

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'custom_quantity_field_archive', 15, 9 );


function custom_add_to_cart_quantity_handler() {
wc_enqueue_js( '
jQuery( "body" ).on( "click", ".quantity input", function() {
return false;
});
jQuery( "body" ).on( "change input", ".quantity .qty", function() {
var add_to_cart_button = jQuery( this ).parents( ".product" ).find( ".add_to_cart_button" );
// For AJAX add-to-cart actions
add_to_cart_button.attr( "data-quantity", jQuery( this ).val() );
// For non-AJAX add-to-cart actions
add_to_cart_button.attr( "href", "?add-to-cart=" + add_to_cart_button.attr( "data-product_id" ) + "&quantity=" + jQuery( this ).val() );
});
' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'custom_add_to_cart_quantity_handler' );

  3. Is there a way to make it so that they quantity button stays to the left of the cart button. Mine shows below, or is hidden on some of the items.

    • Hey Matt,

      It’s possible with some CSS yes. I can’t see the buttons on your website since I have to log in. Is there another way I can test to see if I can share some CSS for you to add to your website?

  4. I’ve deactivated it for now. I’m running flatsome and when I add the snippet, it shows below the add to cart button and to the left. I would like it to be just above the add to cart button and aligned as center. What css code can I add to do this?

  5. This one works really nice thanks!
    Is there anyway to add and remove products to cart automatically to cart when qty changes?
    I want to remode add to cart button and just use +/-

    • You should be able to do that with JQuery functionality, yes!

      I don’t have the script for that, but I would imagine you can do it with an “onclick” function for the + or – buttons that looks up the product ID and runs an AJAX call to add or decrement product quantities in cart!

  6. IT’s work but position in bottom i want to count button with in add button , and when click add card then it’s go checkout page i don’t want this ,how to solve

    • You may have to change your WooCommerce settings…

      1. Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Products > General
      2. Uncheck “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition”

      Let me know if that works!

  7. Hello, thanks for sharing this code it does work perfect but I have the same case than the user before.

    I’m running flatsome and when I add the snippet, it shows below the add to cart button and to the left. I would like it to be just above the add to cart button and aligned as center. What css code can I add to do this?

    thanks you

    • Hi Juan Pablo,

      Can you please share your URL with me so I can take a look and see what modifications I can help you with?

      Thanks,
      Greg

    • I think it’s a lot more tricky with variable products as the shopper would need to first select their variable, and then select quantity + add to cart.

      I haven’t built anything for variable products, and I’m not sure what’s out there on the internet…

  9. After first clicking ‘add to cart’, button ‘add to card’ becomes simple link to card page, without att ‘?add-to-cart’. Whats wrong?

    • Hey George,

      I would imagine it’s because your CSS is making it go beneath the cart button. Can you please link your website in a comment here?

    • Hey B. Wolters,

      Can you please link your website here? I can take a look and maybe suggest CSS that you can to your website!

  15. Hello!

    I used this code, but it appears it is only adding 1 product all the time, not looking at how many i have added to my field. For an example I add 4 but only 1 gets added.

    Whats the reason behind this?

  18. Thanks for the code. This actually worked great, until one day I needed to enter troubleshooting mode and WordPress threw an error related to this snippet: Call to undefined function wc_enqueue_js()

    For what it’s worth, I added this directly to functions.php and not within the code snippet plugin.

  19. Hi, works great!
    I’m using flatsome theme and changed ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item ‘ to ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item_title’ to add it above the add to cart button.
