How to add product to cart programmatically

[Tárraga]

Hello!

 

I'm making a file which will add some products to the cart in PrestaShop, but it doesn't work.

Here is my code:

 

require(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');

$context=Context::getContext();
$id_cart=$context->cookie->__get('id_cart');

$id_product = $_GET['id_product'];
$attribute = $_GET['attribute'];

$cart=new Cart($id_cart);
$cart->id_currency=1;
$cart->id_lang=1;
    
$cart->updateQty(1, $id_product, $attribute, false);

 

So I execute it from file.php?id_product=555&attribute=666

 

It doesn't work. Why?

$cart->add() is missing

Where do you put $cart->add() ?

This is the command for add programmatically

$cart>updateQty(1, $id_product, 0, null, 'up', 0, null, false);

Ok guys, this works when customer has his cart already filled with something or it is created but what to do if someone don't have a cart created already?

Just create new cart: new Cart() and set all required fields and add products like @digitalDot said
