cart:check

Checks the cart against Transact via the Commerce Connector.

Syntax

<cart:check
      name="cartname"
      varname="varname"/> 

Parameters

name (required)

Input parameter. Name of the cart object.

varname (required)

Input parameter. Name of the variable that holds one of the following values:

• true - Cart is acceptable and can be committed to Transact.
• false - Cart is not acceptable to Transact.

Description

As a result of the check, cart:check updates the following parameters with legal values:

• subTotal - Total cost of items

• shippingInfo-shippingCost - Total cost of shipping.
  shippingInfo-shipperID - Transact shipper GUID.
  shippingInfo-shipperName - Transact shipper name.

• tax-taxType - Type (USSalesTax, Canadian, VAT)
  tax-taxAmount - Total tax amount (if taxType is not Canadian)
  tax-GST - Canadian GST
  tax-PST - Canadian PST

• shippingInfo-shippingTax-taxType - Type (USSalesTax, Canadian, VAT)
  shippingInfo-shippingTax-taxAmount - if taxType is not Canadian
shippingInfo-shippingTax-GST - Canadian GST
  shippingInfo-shippingTax-PST - Canadian PST

• totalSalesAmount- Sum of subTotal, shippingCost, and tax-taxAmount.

• store - Set of parameters that come from the transact.ini file. (The Web developer is only concerned with storeID and currencyCode.)

The cart:check tag also returns an error code and error message if Transact cannot resolve any other field in the cart (for example, a missing postal code, or a postal code that is not legal for a specified city).

As a result of the check, the cart object is updated to reflect any errors or notifications retrieved from the Transact. Choices for fields that have choices also become available.

Example

<!-- Get the current cart. -->
<commercecontext:getcurrentcart varname="thiscart"/>
<!-- Check the cart to enumerate payment methods. -->
<cart:check name="thiscart" varname="cartstatus"/>
<!-- Now get the legal values for the payment types. -->
<cart:getlegalvalues name="thiscart" field="paymentinfo-brandid"
listvarname="paylist"/>
