Hi,

I'm trying to create an order and empty the cart in a paragraphtemplate using razor. I can create the order but i'm not sure how to empty the cart after the order is created. 

My code is something like this:

    order.ShopID = "SHOP1";
    order.CustomerName = name;
    order.CustomerCompany = company;
    order.Complete = true;
    order.CompletedDate = DateTime.Now;
    order.IsCart = false;
    order.UpdateCartToOrder();
    order.Save();

It creates the order. But I don't know how to (easiest way) to also empty the cart. 

Any ideas?

Regards / Aki

Hi Aki

I do not understand. When you create the cart, it is empty...? Our empty cart code, deletes the order object, send notifications and clears the cart from session and the user...

You can do the same by calling Order.Delete and then Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Frontend.Cart.CatchCart.ClearCart();

If you want to override the existing cart, set Common.Context.Cart() to your new order object...

Thanks dude. You managed to solve even though you didn't understand. :)

"Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Frontend.Cart.CatchCart.ClearCart()" was what I was looking for. I tried to find something like it in the API but did not look there. 

The reason for this odd way to do is that we are working with the templateframework "handlebars.net" in this project and basically gather and bundle data into json in our razor templates and send them to handlebars templates for the html rendering. So I have very little control over how for example name attributes for input tags are generated. And the checkout process is a bunch of modal windows with asynchrous and bla bla....   :)

Rendering with rendering. Nice... Poor customer :-).

Hehe.  :)

There are actually good reasons for this "hybrid" solution.
