Identifying product categories inside if else statements

Hi there,

I am looking to create a custom function for woocommerce. The desired scenario is to be able to empty & skip the checkout cart, to go direct to checkout, only if the product belongs to a specific product category. I have done so using the following add_filters

add_filter('woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', 'cus_skip_cart_redirect_checkout', 1000);
add_filter('woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', 'cus_clear_cart_before_adding');

Initially, this was working fine for all products, using the following functions:

function cus_skip_cart_redirect_checkout($url) {

	return wc_get_checkout_url();
}

function cus_clear_cart_before_adding($cart_item_data) {
	global $woocommerce;
	$woocommerce->cart->empty_cart();

	return true;
}

However, the functions broke when I tried to include an if statement to make these functions run only if a product in a specific product category was selected:

function cus_skip_cart_redirect_checkout($url) {
global $product_category;
$id = $product_category->get_id();
if(get_id() == 59) {
    global $woocommerce;
    $cus_redirect_url_checkout = $woocommerce->cart->wc_get_checkout_url();
    return $cus_redirect_url_checkout;
	}
}
function cus_clear_cart_before_adding($cart_item_data) {
if(get_the_id() == 59) {
	global $woocommerce;
	$woocommerce->cart->empty_cart();
	return true;
	}
}

Please advise on how to improve this if statement in this function. Thank you!
