To override an ajax function in WooCommerce, you can use the wp_ajax_ hook to add your own custom function. Here is an example of how you can override the default WooCommerce ajax function:

  1. Create a new function in your theme's functions.php file:
1
2
3
4
function custom_ajax_function() {
    // Your custom code here
    // For example, you can check if the user is logged in and return a different response based on that
}


  1. Hook your custom function into the wp_ajax_ action:
1
add_action('wp_ajax_custom_ajax_function', 'custom_ajax_function');


  1. In your JavaScript code, make an ajax call to your custom function:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
jQuery.ajax({
    url: ajaxurl,
    type: 'POST',
    data: {
        action: 'custom_ajax_function',
        // Add any additional data here
    },
    success: function(response) {
        // Handle the response here
    }
});


  1. In your WooCommerce template files, update the ajax call to use your custom action name:


For example, if you want to override the default WooCommerce ajax function for adding a product to the cart, you can update the add_to_cart.js file to use your custom action instead of the default action:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
jQuery.ajax({
    url: wc_add_to_cart_params.ajax_url,
    type: 'POST',
    data: {
        action: 'custom_ajax_function',
        // Add any additional data here
    },
    success: function(response) {
        // Handle the response here
    }
});


By following these steps, you can successfully override an ajax function in WooCommerce with your own custom code.
