Hi Viktor,

Hi Viktor,

I'm using this method to generate a recurring order through the api, but I would like to set it's total price to 0.00. Is it possible?

The idea is that the customer only pays once for a subscription, and it generates a recurring order that would be shipped every month, but it's already paid.

The prices in an order are usually read-only.

edit:
I've tried to add the following line to what you mentioned:
recurring.TotalPrice = new PriceInfo();
recurring.Save();

But it still creates a recurring order with the same price of the 'main' order

Thank you

Kind Regards

Hi Gonçalo,

I think you can try to implement price provider which will change the prices based on whether the order is recurring or not.

Hi Viktor,

Thank you for your answer!

I took a different approach to this: I'm creating a copy of the initial order, and in that copy I'm running the following code:

            var recurring = new RecurringOrder();
            order.AllowOverridePrices = true;
            foreach (OrderLine orderline in order.OrderLines)
            {
                if (orderline.Type == "0")
                {
                    orderline.AllowOverridePrices = true;
                    orderline.SetUnitPrice(new PriceInfo(), true);
                }
            }

            RemoveFeesAndTaxes(order);
            order.ForcePriceRecalculation();
            order.ClearCachedPrices();

            recurring.Interval = 1;                                             
            recurring.IntervalUnit = RecurringOrder.IntervalUnitType.Months;    
            recurring.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
            recurring.EndDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(subscriptionLength);
            recurring.TotalPrice = new PriceInfo();
            recurring.Save();
            
            order.IsRecurringOrderTemplate = true;
            order.RecurringOrderId = recurring.ID;
            order.Save();

In the 'RemoveFeesAndTaxes' method I'm creating a discount orderline with the total amount of the shipping, payment fees and total taxes.

It's all working without any problem, except the receipt after the order is complete, where it displays the recurring order, where all the prices are set to 0, and not the 'main' order, with all the prices set, and fees and taxes.

Thank you
