I've tried just about all the various properties and methods on the Product object and can't seem to find a way to get teh Discount calculations for a product that will return what the Ecom:Product.Discount.Price and Ecom:Product.Price return on the ViewModel

Hi Andrew

There are no discounts on the product objects - so using product and productservice will not help you.

What version are you on? You mention Rapido which could indicate an older version.

You can use this tag @GetTemplateTags("Price") and @GetTemplateTags("Discount") to search for tags containing those 2 strings. If you are in a loop of products you can do @productLoopItem.GetTemplateTags("Price")

That would give you a list of all available tags including the one the price you are looking for.

Some later versions of DW9 contains more tags.

Hi Nicolai,

Apologies, I'm using 9.17.7.
I'm implementing a custom API, so not really using rapido.
Is there a way give an product number to get the discounted value? On the product srevice there is a Product.Discount.Price and a Product.GetDiscountMatrix().

I just need to find out what the product Price after being run through the Discount calcualtions.

Here is what I am doing to loop through the product's variants and each variants prices:
 

                var productService = new ProductService();
                PriceContext priceContext = new PriceContext(Ecommerce.Common.Context.Currency, Ecommerce.Common.Context.Country);

                var product = productService.GetProductById(productId, string.Empty, request.LanguageId);

                if (product == null) return NotFound();

                foreach (var vc in product.VariantCombinations)
                {
                    var vcProduct = vc.GetProduct(Ecommerce.Common.Context.LanguageID);
                    var discounts = vcProduct.GetDiscountMatrix(Ecommerce.Common.Context.Currency.Code);

                }

Hi Andrew

It is not quite that simple. A product has a price and then when you buy it you can get one or more discounts.

I think the easiest way for you to get the products, you can create a list of product viewmodels using the ViewModelFactory - that will take care of calculating the discounts and give you something useful:

IEnumerable<ProductViewModel> products = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.ProductCatalog.ViewModelFactory.CreateView(ProductViewModelSettings settings, IEnumerable<ProductInfoViewModel> productInfo)

So in your code before creating this list, find the variants you in the end result, and pass them to the above code.

A couple of comments of your code:

>>var productService = new ProductService();
You should not create new instances of services as that can cause some bad behavior - instead use Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products which will give you an instance

>>PriceContext priceContext = new PriceContext(Ecommerce.Common.Context.Currency, Ecommerce.Common.Context.Country);
You state custom API - if you are creating a REST api this is not possible as the Common.Context is based on context and REST is state-less. Also if you are not running in the context of a pageview, using Common.Context is also an issue. 

Thanks for the feedback Nicolai.

I was using Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.ProductCatalog.ViewModelFactory.CreateView to create the view model, but the prices that come back are the same for all variants.
I have to get the price collection on the main product which will then give me a list of the variants and the actual prices (before discount).
Regarding getting the discounted price, I'm still at a loss in getting these back.

Hi Andrew

I have asked the partner center to reach out to you.

Thanks, appreciated.
