Price discount

Paul Nilsson

Posted on 28/04/2015 16:33:11

Im using the PriceProvider to get the price of a product when the user opens a product page.

This woks fine, but at the same time I also whant to set a discount (if there is one) for the same product and also a price without discount.

I want to do it at the same time as I get set the price so I don't have to call the web servise twice to get the prices and discount.

Can I set a discount for a product in the PriceProvider and how?

The discounts are different on all products and customers so nothing can be saved on the product it selfe in e-com.

Hi Paul

Discounts needs to be handled by the discount provider.

But what you can do, is which ever of the 2 being called first, will look up in the webservice and store the result on HttpContext.Items collection:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpcontext.items%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

It is a simple key/value that exists only for this request and is perfekt for storing data you need in 2 pieces of code, but not store on memory for long.
