Hi Oscar,

I'm not completely sure I follow what you've done here.

If I understand you correctly, you're using the Product Catalogue module on a page to render products in the frontend. But you use the ProductService to fetch the product objects also? If this is correct, then you're basically doing the work of the Product Catalogue again. Products fetched by the module are already available for use in the "Products" loop that you refer to. No need to fetch them again -- unless you need some specific product data that isn't available as a tag in the loop. I would recommend changing this so you're not re-fetching product data.

Adding multiple products to the cart is possible. Take a look at this forum post: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/development/development/adding-multiple-products-in-the-cart. The accepted answer tells you how to do it. Be aware that there's a typo in the answer which is discussed in the two post following.

I hope this helps you.

Hello Jeppe!

I am doing so because the products that are arriving from the Product Catalogue are not the same products as which I'm fetching manually from the ProductService, and I cannot to my knowledge add multiple indexes in the Product Catalogue app. 

That post looks promising, but it's still not working for me even after fixing your typo. My code looks like this now:

            var productIDs = ["ID1", "ID2"]; //this part is of course more complicated but the array looks like this after some calculations

Looking at your code, I don't see anything obvious. It seems to be correct. You say you're getting a response from that page, I'm curious as to what that response contains. If you don't know if it's a success or fail response, you could try and add a "complete" or "error" callback and inspect the response to see if something else might be wrong.

I've tried the code here myself and it's working as excepted. This example, which is a slight rewrite of the given code, is behaving as excepted:

var settings = {
  "async": false,
  "url": "http://96.local.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=1",
  "method": "POST",
  "data": {
    "ProductLoopCounter1": "1",
    "ProductID1": "PROD1",
    "VariantID1": "",
    "UnitID1": "",
    "Quantity1": "1",
    "ProductLoopCounter2": "2",
    "ProductID2": "PROD2",
    "VariantID2": "",
    "UnitID2": "",
    "Quantity2": "1",
    "CartCmd": "addmulti"
  }
}

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Hmm, it seems that if I look in the Network section of the webconsole I see that my page returns a 302 HTML code, and then redirects me to the page I'm currently on again, and I get the page I'm currently on as a response in the jQuery function. Then maybe my post-request is never actually processed by the system?

I found in DW admin on the page I'm posting to that the redirect-boolean had been set to true for some reason, but it's false now and it still redirects me and I dont have any code in my templates that I use in the cart that can redirect. 

Do you know of any setting perhaps in the Cart-app or the Product Catalogue-app (I have both on my json-cart that I post to) that may cause me to redirect even though I don't post the Redirect-param in my postdata?

It also seems that when I AJAX-call my json-cart page without any postdata, it does not redirect. So then maybe some error occurs behind the scenes? Could I get a hold of that error somehow without the page redirecting?

It seems I have fixed the issue. My problem was that on my page I was calling the AJAX-function from I always clear the cart in C# when first loading that page. So then when the page redirected to that page behind the scenes it cleared the cart, which I didn't think of since I was not the one who had written that C# code. Adding redirect=false to the request stopped the redirects from happening and thus the products are now added to the cart correctly. 

Thank you both for your help :)
