Deny Checkout if a User Has Pending Orders
In this post we will show you how to prevent a logged in user from placing an order when he already has an order with the “Pending Payment” status. This means that the user can only place another order once he has paid for his previous orders.
First, you need to set the order status. To do this, go to WooCommerce –> Orders on the left menu and click into the related order. Set the order status like this:
After that you can add the following code into your functions.php file. This code will activate the feature to deny checkout for the users with “Pending payment” orders.
add_action('woocommerce_after_checkout_validation', 'arrow_design_deny_checkout_user_pending_orders');
function arrow_design_deny_checkout_user_pending_orders( $posted ) {
global $woocommerce;
$checkout_email = $posted['billing_email'];
$user = get_user_by( 'email', $checkout_email );
if ( ! empty( $user ) ) {
$customer_orders = get_posts( array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'meta_key' => '_customer_user',
'meta_value' => $user->ID,
'post_type' => 'shop_order', // WC orders post type
'post_status' => 'wc-pending' // Only orders with status "completed"
) );
foreach ( $customer_orders as $customer_order ) {
$count++;
}
if ( $count > 0 ) {
wc_add_notice( 'Sorry, please pay your pending orders first by logging into your account', 'error');
}
}
}
If a user now tries to submit an order, this error message is displayed:
