Where do you see that? I am using swift 1.21 with no custom templates

Ah nvm. I found it now. Cheers!

Hei Nicolai.

We first used the express buy option (out of the box), but then realized that - as you said - it does not take into account price changes or discounts which may have expired / been added.

We used the CustomerCenter Reorder CMS and redirect to handlekurv. All the products get added, but unfortunately all with 0 kr.  The customer center does not see the prices. The thing is, we have a custom price provider which puts the price matrix into a session object for the logged in customer id.   I am wondering if the customer center reorder cmd will have difficulty with this?

EDIT: Its not a priceprovider we use, its a LineAddedNotification. We capture when added to cart, and apply the discounts for that customer to the line.

EDIT 2. When I think about it though. Isnt the LineAddedNotification emitted with express buy when clicking "Add all to basket" ?

Hi Stephen

You have to use a price provider for custom prices or you will run into issues.LineAddedNotification will only fire when products are added one at a time.

Damn. Ok

I had a look around for some concrete code examples of how to solve this with a custom price provider, but could find none.

Could someone point me in the correct direction?

Our design is currently based on an ExtranetLoginNotification which fires and grabs a customernumber for a group of users 

This customer number is then used in an SQL query against 3 custom tables that are synced from the ERP (they together form the price matrix)

We were advised not to try adding all these customer / discount combinations into DW using the standard discount setup as this would cause way too many price checks, so thats why we imported the tables and used a query to get the customer specific discounts

From that query, we get a bunch of ProductID's and Discount percentages which we assign to a session object, and then use that session object with a LineAddedNotification Subscriber  Its these productids / discounts / descriptions,  that we want to use in the price provider, I would guess, but we do not know how to use the price providers

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

Hi Stephen,

I recall from your project that there is both a DiscountExtender and a PriceProvider. if this "copy order" occurs in the frontend, then both the PriceProvider and the DiscountExtender will evaluate the cart when loaded. So if you are confident that both of these are in place and functional, you ought to be home-free.

There is an example in the API docs:

https://doc.dynamicweb.com/apix/api/Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Prices.PriceProvider.html

What you have to ensure is that you implement the PreparePrices method of the priceprovider - it will be called with all the products that are about to be price calculated, and then you can look up the prices for the current user (user is part of the price context). You can choose to cache the prices - or just look them up each time. 

You lookup discounts - and prices and discounts are 2 different things in DW. So you may not need to lookup the price, but lookup the discount instead? If the price is always the same, but discount is different - it is another scenario than the price is different for each customer. Effectively it is the same, but conceptual it is different - is the price 100 - 10 discount or is the price 90?
