Managing the cart from an API perspective

// We need to save the cart first in order to calculate discounts // This needs to be done as discounts puses ParentLineId, which is first generated upon save cart.Save(); // find force recalculate protected field var field = cart.GetType().GetProperty("ForceCalculate", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic); if(field != null) field.SetValue(cart,true); cart.ForcePriceRecalculation(); cart.CalculateDiscounts();

Hi Soren,

Could you please provide some more information about the way you working with basket because depending on this order calculation proccess may vary.

Please check what Dynamicweb.Environment.ExecutingContext.IsFrontEnd() method returns. If it return true then folowong code sample working correctly:

var order = new Order();

var builderConfig = new OrderLineBuilderConfig { ProductId = "Prod39", Quantity = 1, AddToCart = true };
var orderLine = order.OrderLineBuilder(builderConfig);

//the code for discount based on voucher
order.VoucherCode = "e785b5fe";

//see no special reason to call this
//order.ForcePriceRecalculation();
order.CalculateDiscounts();
order.Save();

If for some reason ExecutingContext.IsFrontEnd() returns false then you need to set ForceCalculate field to true(the way you do) before CalculateDiscounts method call.

Best regards, Viktor.
