Get shipping discount on current order when in cart page
Hi
I am trying to add some user feedback messages in the cart page.
the messages are based around the delivery/shipping charge
if the current order doesn't meets the requirements for free shipping then I want to add a message about how much they still need to buy before getting to that threshold
I have tried a few things
currentOrder.ShippingInfo.TotalPrice.Adjustment is the property I am looking at currently
but it seems like I need to force the calculation at an earlier stage in the process than what is currently happening ie if I go through to the confirmation page (just before cc details are taken) then back to the cart then I start to see the values I
expect.
Is there a way to get the current calculated shipping amount after discount - no matter where you are in the checkout process?
the actual shipping rates are very basic - only 1 country and its a flat rate
there are 2 active shipping discounts
100% shipping discount when order total is greater than x
100% shipping discount when order has at least 1 x product y in it
Cheers

Vendr 1.8.3
Vendr Checkout 1.2.0
I think the problem is likely the use of Vendr Checkout as it's kind of opinionated in it's implementation. Effectively, that package will remove the shipping / billing countries from the order until you get past the billing information stage and so this is why your calculation isn't working till after this stage.
The reason Vendr Checkout does this is because if someone goes to the checkout and completes their billing details, but then goes back and changes the order, you could get into a position where the order may no longer be shipable to that location and so the pricing information being displayed would be a little bit missleading and so we clear all this information until you get back to that step.

Hi John,

If you want to disable this functionality, you could setup a composer to run after the Vendr Checkout composer and then remove all the event handlers Vendr Checkout registers here https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-checkout/blob/v1/main/src/Vendr.Checkout/Composing/VendrCheckoutComposer.cs#L14-L30
Hope this helps / makes sense.

Hi Matt
Thanks for the quick reply.
I did a quick check on the properties of the shipping info when I get to the cart page
currentOrder.ShippingInfo.CountryId has a value at this stage
the currentOrder.ShippingInfo.ShippingMethodId does not
I know there is at least 1 shipping method available in
VendrApi.Instance.GetShippingMethods(store.Id)
so if I set the ShippingMethodId would that trigger the handler to update the price such that
currentOrder.ShippingInfo.TotalPrice.WithoutAdjustments and currentOrder.ShippingInfo.TotalPrice.Adjustment
would then return the correct values
if so how do I make the currentOrder.ShippingInfo writable?
Cheers J
Hi John,
Yes it would, though I'd still think you might need to remove the event handlers mentioned above.
In terms of setting the shipping method you'll need to make the current order writable (see the docs here https://vendr.net/docs/core/2.0.0/umbraco-v9/key-concepts/readonly-and-writable-entities/) and then call it's
SetShippingMethodmethod to set the shipping method accordingly.Matt
