Woocommerce skip checkout for free products

I'm building webpage on WP and Woocommerce - I would like to skip cart and also checkout page for free products (or products which ID-s I can specify). These products are free and virtual (no payment needed, no shipping needed). The webpage is only used by registered users - so all the customer info is present.

The result I would like to have is that if you press ORDER button on product page - the order is done and customer is redirected to Thank-You page.

BR,
Kaspar

I applied the same concept, but found a major issue when processing order on the checkout; fields were still required.

The primary issue was processing the order via AJAX ( was using is_ajax() ), and even though it was on the checkout page, it wasn't returning as true. It's possible there was a recent change, or it could be the site's environment (theme).

is_ajax()

Here are some of the conditional tags: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/conditional-tags/

Seeing how things change, the answer can be edited here, but the original concept is located at: https://www.skyverge.com/blog/how-to-simplify-free-woocommerce-checkout/

function wc_free_checkout_fields() is_ajax() ) && WC()->cart->needs_payment() ) ) )
return;


// Remove coupon forms since it's irrelevant with a free cart?
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woocommerce_checkout_coupon_form', 10 );

// Remove the "Additional Info" order notes.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enable_order_notes_field', '__return_false' );

// Unset the fields we don't want in a free checkout.
function wc_unset_unwanted_checkout_fields( $fields )
// Add or remove billing fields you do not want.
// @link http://docs.woothemes.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/#section-2
$billing_keys = array(
'billing_company',
'billing_phone',
'billing_address_1',
'billing_address_2',
'billing_city',
'billing_postcode',
'billing_country',
'billing_state',
);

// For each unwanted billing key, unset.
foreach( $billing_keys as $key )
unset( $fields['billing'][$key] );


return $fields;

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'wc_unset_unwanted_checkout_fields' );

// A tiny CSS tweak for the account fields; this is optional.
function wc_print_custom_css()
?>
<style>
.create-account
margin-top: 6em;

</style>
<?php

add_action( 'wp_head', 'wc_print_custom_css' );

add_action( 'wp', 'wc_free_checkout_fields' );


Check if the checkout has no cost with the WC()->cart->needs_payment() check.
