Lightweight

We consider our product and its displaying components to be lightweight. The Add to Cart interaction is one of the key moments prior to the decision of a customer finishing their checkout. Understanding that, we are trying to deliver the smallest payload possible when it comes to html and assets.
Keeping our html lightweight already, if objects are not displayed (e.g. title or price) then the html is never generated, rather than relying on css.

Smart

Keeping with the theme of lightweight and optimized, assets, which are separated by their uses, will only be loaded when they are used!
Not only that, but the button will become disabled (by default) if the associated product is now out of stock (toggled in the settings).

Flexible

Through the block interface, you can change entirely the order of all parts of the product info & button. Toggling fields on and off, you can make the area fit the way you dream it!
Many plugins we have used in the past feel overbearing when it comes to styling, sometimes making it hard to apply styles to help the plugin fit your theme.
We left the themeing to you, using some base classes on elements like the buttons and quantity fields that we found let most themes do base styling to the elements.

Block Documentation

New “AJAX Add to Cart Block”! and New “Group AJAX Add to Cart Block”!
New and improved interface to create flexible components on any page of your website that has the block editor enabled!
Easily toggle displays and drag-and-drop to move around objects to change the appearance of the add to cart component on the front end.

The major difference between the blocks is the Group AJAX add to cart block allows the selection of multiple products. The selected display settings and styling will be applied to all products the same in that block.

Not only does the block have all the features the shortcode does, but expands further upon that allowing you to change the display order of each individual component using a visual editor!
The block also has a product select tool so you no longer have to remember individual product or variation IDs

Block fields available:
– Title
– Separator
– Price
– Quantity
– Button
– Image (premium setting)
– Custom text field (premium setting)
– Short Description (premium setting)

Shortcode Documentation

New Shorter Shortcode: [a2c_button /] and [ajax_add_to_cart /] are now options for the original [enh_ajax_add_to_cart_button /]
The required field for every button is the product, with six optional fields:
– variation (used for variable products)
– title (to reflect the label before the button)
– quantity (sets the default quantity AND hides the quantity checkbox)
– show_quantity (if quantity is specified, re-enables the checkbox)
– show_price
– button_text
– class
– order (overrides show_quantity, show_price)

Original single button shortcode:

[a2c_button product={pid} variation={vid} class={STRING} order={"title,quantity,separator,price,description"} // any order you want, also accepts first letters as arguments "q,s,t,p,d" for example. show_price={beginning|b|after|a|rear|r} button_text={STRING} title={none|attributes|att|attribute} quantity={INTEGER} show_quantity={yes} /] 

Documentation notes:
– The curly brackets “{ }” denote a list of options separated by a pipe ” | ”
– With the exception of “pid” and “vid” options, the lower case “options” within the curly braces are to represent different settings available for the front end display order. These will soon be deprecated for a new property “order”
– “pid” represents a product id, INTEGER value.
– “vid” represents a variation id, INTEGER value.
– STRING and INTEGER are to represent types.
– INTEGER expects a whole number, and decimals are not fully supported yet.
– STRING can have spaces in it if enclosed in quotes (“This is a string.”) otherwise it will take 1 word.

Legacy shortcodes will remain working and will always take the options above:

[enh_ajax_add_to_cart_button product={pid} variation={vid} /] [ajax_add_to_cart product={pid} variation={vid} /] 

SIMPLE PRODUCT: Use only the required parameters to make a quantity box and add to cart button for a simple product with the title to the left:

[a2c_button product=42 ] 

Refer to screenshot 1 below to see the output

VARIABLE PRODUCT: Use the product and variation parameters to make a quantity box and add to cart button for a specific variation of a variable product, with the fully qualified name:

[a2c_button product=3312 variation=3313 ] 

Refer to screenshot 2 below to see the output

Use the product and variation parameters to make a quantity box and add to cart button for a specific variation of a variable product, with only the variation attributes listed separated with a space as the name:

[a2c_button product=3312 variation=3313 title=attributes ] 

Refer to screenshot 3 below to see the output

Use the product and variation parameters to make a quantity box and add to cart button for a specific variation of a variable product, with no name listed:

[a2c_button product=3312 variation=3313 title=none ] 

Refer to screenshot 4 below to see the output

Use the button_text parameter to change the text on the Add to Cart button! (Strips out HTML tags)
Use double quotes ( “like this” ) to get a phrase with spaces

[ajax_add_to_cart product=3312 variation=3313 button_text="Add this to cart!" ] 

Use the show_price parameter to make a price field appear, with the options being before the title, after the title but before the quantity/add to cart button, or at the very rear of the line!

Beginning

[ajax_add_to_cart product=3312 variation=3313 show_price=b ] 

After Title

[ajax_add_to_cart product=3312 variation=3313 show_price=a ] 

Rear (After Button)

[ajax_add_to_cart product=3312 variation=3313 show_price=r ]

2.4.0

• Updated to indicate compatibility with WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage!
• Major upgrade to Block to catch up with updates in core WordPress
• Minor bug fixes

2.3.0

• Added: New custom “View cart” text setting for the secondary button/link spawned after adding to cart.
• Added: New custom URL for the “View cart” (or custom text) button/link.
• Added: New setting to disable an internal “Refresh Fragments” for minicart implementations that may be unnecessary overhead for some implementations.
• Fixed: The “View cart” button/link would appear even if an item was not added to the cart due to an error.

2.2.0

• Added: New “order” prop on shortcode to determine display order and visibility of elements in a “button row”
• Added: New “class” prop on shortcode to add custom css classes to the “button row”

2.1.5

• Tweaked: Admin facing block generation was using old parent element class name
• Fixed: Removed debug statement leftover in asset
• Fixed: Asset enqueuing had a warning from filemtime

2.1.4

• Fixed: When title not displayed, would show lowest available price for variable products, even when variation specified.

2.1.3

• Fixed: Extra checks during Attribute Title generation had namespacing failure.

2.1.2

• Fixed: Added extra checks during Attribute Title generation.
• Tweak: Moved Attribute Title generation to its own function to call only when necessary.

2.1.1

• Fixed: Shortcode button text was defaulting to a blank string after the 2.1.0 update. This makes it default to the WooCommerce ‘Add to cart’ translation.
• Fixed: The attribute title option was displaying attribute slugs rather than values. This is now fixed with a comma separated string, reflective of WooCommerce style of displaying attribute titles.
• Fixed: Using the block path of code, attribute titles were not being appended correctly on the front end, only in the block editor.

2.1.0

• Added: Product type is now an added class to each Add to Cart Row.
• Tweak: Re-introduced product type to button as a class, which was a selective regression, but was reported to still has use.
• Tweak: Now checking if product is purchasable as well as in stock by default to match WooCommerce (and display consistent behavior).
  Check the “stock check” setting to disable.
• Fixed: Automatic translation of ‘Add to cart’ was lost from shortcode upgrade. Using woocommerce as string translator. Notice this is
  still different behavior as blocks have difficulty with no default set, and there is no default product to query button text
  at this point. Block editor vs front end behavior might show inconsistencies because of this. A work around is to either use
  the “Default button text” in the settings, or overwrite the button text on each block.

2.0.0

• Added AJAX Add to Cart block.
• Added additional display order controls, only available in the block.
• Added “base” title option for variable products.
• Added extra class parameter “class” to add to the wrapper element for all button blocks/shortcodes.
• Added min/max fields for quantity to have basic controls.
• Added “custom”, “image”, and “short description” fields to be displayable.
• Added php filter ‘eaa2c_button_row_additional_fields’ to display additional content on a shortcode or block (filter is passed a blank string and the product id).
• Added php filter ‘eaa2c_button_row_custom_field’ to allow for the custom field to be flexible with the product (filter is passed default html and the product id).
• Added php filter ‘eaa2c_button_row_wrap_override’ to disable the new Group EAA2C display wrapping element.
• Added Namespacing to the project.
• Standardized printing of shortcodes and blocks, along with product types.
• Fixed bug when attribute title was selected but undefined, now printing parent product name rather than nothing.

1.5.0

• Added button blocking using the disabled html parameter. This prevents requests being skipped when many buttons pressed within short time.
• Tweaked how assets are enqueued to only enqueue on pages when the shortcode is on it. This prevents overriding the AJAX setting in WooCommerce settings page.

1.4.0

• Added feature where when product is out of stock the add to cart button displays as “out of stock” instead.
