How to reload checkout page if payment failed in Woocommerce - php

Question

I have a custom payment gateway where I need to reload checkout page if payment failed.
Reason:
When Card details submitted the payment gateway generates a card token which I need to process the payment but we can use the card token only once with a request.
What I need:
Currently, I am just showing the error message and a return when payment is failed.
if($payment_status['status']){
$order->update_status( 'on-hold', __( "ABC Payment Done\n", 'stackoverflow' ) );
wc_reduce_stock_levels($order_id);
WC()->cart->empty_cart();
return array(
'result' => 'success',
'redirect' => $this->get_return_url( $order )
);
}else{
wc_add_notice( $payment_status['message'] , 'error' );
return;
}
How can I reload/refresh the page if payment failed? S user can enter the card details again and we can process the payment.
Or any other suggestion?

Answer 1

It depends if you want it sync or async.
Sync way:
header("Refresh:0");
It refreshes your current page. You can specify also the page you want:
header("Refresh:0; url=another_page.php");
Async way:
Generate the content dynamically, clean all changes and tokens.

Fksjii is true.
However, it might be cleaner to have a specified page that generates token code.
With an XHR request you can get it, then submit every data with an XHR and wait for a callback.
However, if you can't edit JS code you might do
if ($failed) {
unset($_REQUEST);
Header("Refresh: 0");
exit;
}
Do not forget to clean $_GET or $_POST data before reloading your page.
It is always very important to exit even after a redirection sent in the headers. Indeed, headers are sent but code continue to execute and it could create some bugs.

You need return the array for example:
if ( $payment_status['status'] ) {
$order->update_status( 'on-hold', __( "ABC Payment Done\n", 'stackoverflow' ) );
wc_reduce_stock_levels($order_id);
WC()->cart->empty_cart();
return array(
'result' => 'success',
'redirect' => $this->get_return_url( $order )
);
} else {
$order->update_status( 'failed', __( 'Payment error:', 'woocommerce' ) . $this->get_option( 'error_message' ) );
wc_add_notice( $payment_status['message'] , 'error' );
WC()->cart->empty_cart();
return array(
'result' => 'failure',
'redirect' => WC()->cart->get_checkout_url()
);
}
That code will redirect to the checkout page. Hope help you.
