where i can to put this file in the folder woocommerce

Code in lines 23-35 redirects only users, that are not logged in.. why?

Note that if the cart is empty, the checkout page redirects back to the cart. With redirect_to_checkout_if_cart this creates an infinite redirect loop.

Fix by adding:

    if ( $woocommerce->cart->is_empty() ) {
      // Checkout views with empty carts are redirected to cart, which would create an infinite redirect loop
      wp_redirect( get_home_url() );
      exit();
    }

to line 30.

Really nice and complete 👍 Thanks!

You can use this plugin it offers to redirect even on the Ajax add to cart on Archive pages as well https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-to-cart-direct-checkout-for-woocommerce/

If you're using this script, be sure to use edwardkay's fix in the comments above!

@edwardkay Fixed the infinite redirect issue on empty cart.

get_checkout_url() has since been deprecated and should be replaced with : wc_get_checkout_url()

@Njengah I'm not in WP anymore so I don't feel comfortable editing the gist. Still, thank you for noticing it. BTW you can fork it and link the updated version here in the comments.

Thanks!
