Mandatory coupon for specific product categories avoiding checkout in Woocommerce

I'm looking to create "invitation codes" using woocommerce smart coupons. To do so I want specific products to REQUIRE a coupon code at cart/ checkout. I have seen ways to to do this however they affect all products, not just the ones I want.

I'm trying to pass a returned variable to another function, however I cannot figure out how to do so.

Here's the latest version:

            //Check to see if user has product with a specific product category in cart    
    function check_product_in_cart() {

        global $woocommerce;

        //assigns a default negative value
        //  categories targeted 87, 18, 19

        $product_in_cart = false;

        // start of the loop that fetches the cart items

        foreach ( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $values ) {
            $_product = $values['data'];
            $terms = get_the_terms( $_product->id, 'product_cat' );

            // second level loop search, in case some items have several categories
            foreach ($terms as $term) {
                $_categoryid = $term->term_id;
                if (( $_categoryid === 87 ) || ( $_categoryid === 18 ) || ( $_categoryid === 19 )) {
                    //category is in cart!
                    $product_in_cart = true;
                }
            }
        }

        return $product_in_cart;
   }  

// Force Coupon codes for Woocommerce
 add_action('woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'force_coupon_code');

    function force_coupon_code( $product_in_cart )
    {
        global $woocommerce;
        if(is_cart() || is_checkout()){
            $my_coupon = $woocommerce->cart->applied_coupons;
            echo $woocommerce->cart->get_applied_coupons;
            if(empty($my_coupon))
            {
                wc_add_notice( '<strong>' . $btn['label'] . '</strong> ' . __( 'A coupon code is mandatory for this product.', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
            }
        }
    }

The first part should return the product $product_in_cart and the second part forces the coupon. Here's the sources of the code I'm using. Mandatory Coupon code and Checking products in cart based on category. I read that placing the variable inside the new function args might achieve this like so, however it is by no means working.

The code you are using is outdated and complicated. This can be done simply in one hooked function using instead Wordpress has_term() conditional function to detect if cart items belongs to specific product categories.

So your code will be much more compact and efficient:

// Force Coupon codes for Woocommerce
add_action('woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'mandatory_coupon_code');
function mandatory_coupon_code()
{
        // set Here your categories IDs, slugs or names
        $categories = array(18,19,87);
        $found = false;

        // Loop through cart items
        foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ) 
            if( has_term( $categories, 'product_cat', $cart_item['product_id'] ) ){
                // Product category found in cart items
                $found = true;
                // Exit from loop
                break;
            }
        }
        $coupons = WC()->cart->get_applied_coupons();

        // The Notice is displayed for that product categories when no mandatory coupon has been entered
        if( count( $coupons ) > 0 && $found )
            wc_add_notice( __( 'A coupon code is mandatory for this product.', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
    }
}

This code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.

Version for a specific coupon code and without product categories (for all products):

add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'mandatory_coupon_code' );
function mandatory_coupon_code() {
    // HERE set your coupon code
    $mandatory_coupon = 'spring10';

    $applied_coupons = WC()->cart->get_applied_coupons();

    // If coupon is found we exit
    if( in_array( $mandatory_coupon, $applied_coupons ) ) return;

    // Not found: display an error notice
    wc_add_notice( __( 'Please enter coupon code to checkout.', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
}

This code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
