How to Programmatically Add Product to Cart in Magento

Earlier, I had given the solution to programmatically add product to cart in Magento 2.

Sometimes, Magento 2 store admin needs to prefill the shopping cart with a product whenever a user lands to the website. There are many uses of this functionality; for example, the admin may require to add a virtual product to cart whenever a particular product is added to the cart by a customer, the admin may want to give away the free product by default, the admin requires to integrate a custom system or he may require to send visitors directly to the checkout with the product in the cart.

Default Magento 2 doesn’t allow this. So, I’ve come up with a method to programmatically add product to cart in Magento 2.

Method to Programmatically Add Product to Cart in Magento 2:

$prod_id = 41; // pass product id
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prod_id);
$params = array(
   'product' => $prod_id,
   'qty' => 1
);
 
$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart');
$cart->init();
$cart->addProduct($_product, $params);
$cart->save();
 
$quote = Mage::getModel('checkout/session')->getQuote();
$quote->collectTotals()->save();<code>

$prod_id = 41; // pass product id

$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prod_id);

$params = array(

'product' => $prod_id,

'qty' => 1

);

$cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart');

$cart->init();

$cart->addProduct($_product, $params);

$cart->save();

$quote = Mage::getModel('checkout/session')->getQuote();

$quote->collectTotals()->save();<code>
