How to calculate discount

[learnerbm]

Hi all, I want to show the discount price of a product in a page. In some pages AbleCommerce overlines the MSRP price and shows Price near it. But I want to overline the Price info and I want to show price after discount price calculated. How can I get Discount value for a product like in the Basket?

In order to calculate the discounted amount you can try some code like below

Code: Select all

protected LSDecimal GetDiscountedPrice(Product product)
    {
        LSDecimal discountedAmount = 0;
        VolumeDiscountCollection availableDiscounts = VolumeDiscountDataSource.GetAvailableDiscounts(product.ProductId);
        VolumeDiscount volumeDiscount = null;
        if (availableDiscounts.Count > 0)
        {
            volumeDiscount = availableDiscounts[0];
            discountedAmount = volumeDiscount.CalculateDiscount(1, 1, product.Price, product.Price);
        }
        return discountedAmount;
    }

In order to handle price display most probably you will need to modify product price control in ConLib/Utility folder.

Thank you very much Mazhar, it works definitely how I want.

Mazhar, is it possible that there are multiple available discounts? I'm also concerned about what if I already have quantities in the basket. Should we instead do something like:

Code: Select all

foreach (VolumeDiscount vd in availableDiscounts) {
  discountedAmount += vd.CalculateDiscount(1, 1 + qtyAlreadyInBasket, product.Price, product.Price + totalValueOfBasketItems);
}

Do you know what totalValue and lineItemValue mean, precisely? Do they relate to the extended price?
