To get a 50% Off on the 2nd item for some specific product variations of a variable product, you will use the following instead:
add_action('woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees', 'add_custom_discount_2nd_at_50', 10, 1 );
function add_custom_discount_2nd_at_50( $cart ){
if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
return;
// YOUR SETTINGS:
$product_variations_ids = array(1572, 1573); // <== HERE your targeted product variations
// Initializing variables
$discount = 0;
$product_names = array();
// Loop through cart items
foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $key => $cart_item ) {
if ( in_array( $cart_item['variation_id'], $product_variations_ids ) ) {
$qty = (int) $cart_item['quantity'];
$price = (float) $cart_item['data']->get_price();
$name = (string) $cart_item['data']->get_name();
if ( $qty > 1 ) {
$discount -= number_format( $price / 2, 2 );
}
elseif( $qty = 1 ) {
$product_names[] = $name;
}
}
}
// Applying the discount
if( $discount != 0 ){
$cart->add_fee('Buy one get one 50% off', $discount );
}
// Display a custom reminder notice on cart page (otional)
if( ! empty($product_names) ){
wc_clear_notices(); // clear other notices on checkout page.
if( ! is_checkout() ){
wc_add_notice( sprintf(
__( "Add one more to get 50%% off on the 2nd item for %s" ),
'"<strong>' . implode(', ', $product_names) . '</strong>"'
), 'notice' );
}
}
}
Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme) Tested and works.
