When storewide offers such as BOGO (Buy One, Get One) or seasonal sales are ongoing in your store, you might need to restrict free products for certain items in WooCommerce. But when can this be used might be a question for you?
If you consider the typical scenario, when a customer adds items to their cart, the free product is automatically added. But what if the customer adds an item that is already heavily discounted? In such cases, this WooCommerce customization will help you restrict the free product from being automatically added for those specific product IDs as mentioned in the code is present in the cart.
Solution: Restrict Free Products for Certain Cart Items in WooCommerce
The code snippet will implement BOGO offer restricting the addition of freebies when specific items specified in the code are present in the cart.
add_action('wp_loaded', 'ts_bogo_offer');
function ts_bogo_offer() {
// Check if WooCommerce is active
if (class_exists('WooCommerce') && is_object(WC()->cart)) {
// Define the product IDs for comparison
$product_gifted_id = 470;
$restricted_product_ids = array(100, 457);
// Check if any restricted product is in the cart
$restricted_product_in_cart = false;
foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item) {
$product_id = $cart_item['product_id'];
if (in_array($product_id, $restricted_product_ids)) {
$restricted_product_in_cart = true;
break;
}
}
// See if the gift ID is in the cart
$product_gifted_cart_id = WC()->cart->generate_cart_id($product_gifted_id);
$product_gifted_in_cart = WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart($product_gifted_cart_id);
// If any restricted product in cart, remove gift; else, add gift
if ($restricted_product_in_cart) {
if ($product_gifted_in_cart) {
WC()->cart->remove_cart_item($product_gifted_in_cart);
}
} else {
if (!$product_gifted_in_cart) {
WC()->cart->add_to_cart($product_gifted_id);
}
}
}
}

When Other Products Are Added (Allowed Products):
If a customer adds any product to the cart from the allowed product IDs, the free product gets added to the cart.
