This requires to use an action hook like woocommerce_calculate_totals
that is related to cart and Ajax enabled, because it will handle all changes made by the customer in cart page:
add_action( 'woocommerce_calculate_totals', 'discount_based_on_cart_subtotal', 10, 1 );
function discount_based_on_cart_subtotal( $cart ) {
if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
return;
// Avoiding hook repetitions
if ( did_action( 'woocommerce_calculate_totals' ) >= 2 )
return;
// Your coupons settings below
$coupon_05_off="$5-Off";
$coupon_10_off="$10-Off";
// When cart subtotal is below 50
if ( $cart->subtotal < 50 ) {
if ( $cart->has_discount( $coupon_10_off ) ) {
$cart->remove_coupon( $coupon_10_off ); // Remove $10.00 fixed discount coupon
if ( ! $cart->has_discount( $coupon_05_off ) ) {
$cart->apply_coupon( $coupon_05_off ); // Add $5.00 fixed discount coupon
}
}
}
// When cart subtotal is up to 50
else {
if ( $cart->has_discount( $coupon_05_off ) ) {
$cart->remove_coupon( $coupon_05_off ); // Remove $5.00 fixed discount coupon
if ( ! $cart->has_discount( $coupon_10_off ) ) {
$cart->apply_coupon( $coupon_10_off ); // Add $10.00 fixed discount coupon
}
}
}
}
Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and work.
