Is it possible to add custom fees and/or discounts to the cart from code?
I can't pre-define them in the CMS as a discount or a shipment fee because there are user specific value dependencies which i get realtime from an external system.
What I want is on each cart load/action to call a custom sub/void which determines if conditions are met and adds one or more fees (positive or negative value) to the cart (or update/removes them when they already exist).

Hi Peter

You can use a ShippingProvider or a FeeProvider.

  • ShippingProvider is used if you want a calucation for a specific shipping method - one provider (instance) for each shipping method created in management center. This type of provider is configurable.
  • FeeProvider is used if you want a generic calculation for all shipping methods.This type of provider is not configurable.

Download sample ShippingProviders here: http://developer.dynamicweb.com/downloads/source-code.aspx

You can add multiple discounts using a discount provider.

But only one shipping method and fee.

But you can have your ShippingProvider return "Text 1, Option 2, Condition 3 - 10+12+23" as a text and the sum of the amount as the fee it self. Otherwise you have to add them as orderlines using products.
