Pageloaded or cartloaded notification is early in the process and loads the cart. Try one of those....

Added both and then the result was the following

[3/2/2016 8:37:25 PM]:    FindPrice - ProductID: PROD11, Quantity: 5
[3/2/2016 8:37:25 PM]:    BeforePriceCalculation - CartID: CART1911

[3/2/2016 8:37:25 PM]:    CartLoaded - CartID: CART1911

Hm - it is kind of the hen and egg problem. The pageloaded notification loads the cart - and loading the cart invokes the findprice.

Notifications.Standard.Page.DeviceDetected is broadcastet earlier than pageloaded.

What are you trying to achieve? Maybe there is another way. And why do you need to prep the price before the findprice is executed. You could when that is hit first time do what you need to do.

I can set that, but what are the purpose of the Order.BeforePriceCalculation noticication, if it is not invoked before any price calculation is done in the cart?

The reason why I’m trying to prep the prices is that the price calculation is done by the ERP system webservice. And the performance is much better when I make one call with all the products instead of making multiple calls with one product.

But you right, I could make the first FindPrice prep all the products in the cart. I would work, but it is not pretty...

Hi Thomas

Order.BeforePriceCalculation is related to the calculation of Order.Price. Findprice is related to products - so when the cart loads, it loads the products (which finds the products price) and then the order total is being calculated.

If you have a product list page using the catalog, you have a PreparePrices method on your price provider that will pass you a list of all the products being rendered right now. That is made for the purpose of looking up all the prices all at one time.

In the PreparePrices method, you can then collect all the products that are passed to the method, and also find products in the cart, and then send all the data to your ERP and do one calculation.
