RE:Discounts on the fly?

Hi David. Thank you for your concise reply. This is the approach I was taking earlier but for some reason the ShoppingCartInfo object fails to
A: reflect the discount in the product totals
B: maintain that state through the shopping cart wizard.

ShoppingCartInfoProvider.EmptyShoppingCart(ShoppingCart);

ShoppingCartItemInfo addedItem = ShoppingCart.SetShoppingCartItem(cartItemParams);

var total = ShoppingCart.TotalPrice; //57.00 at this time.
var discount = new ItemDiscount()
	{
		ItemDiscountID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Substring(0, 4),
		ItemDiscountDisplayName = "discount" + addedItem.SKU.SKUName,
		ItemDiscountValue = 10,
		ItemDiscountedUnits = addedItem.CartItemUnits,
		ItemDiscountIsFlat = false,
		ItemDiscountIsGlobal = false
	};


addedItem.ProductDiscounts.Add(discount); //note that this does NOT create a discount DataRow. 

//Save the data to dataase
ShoppingCartItemInfoProvider.SetShoppingCartItemInfo(addedItem);

//the docs say this should apply/update all the items in the shopping cart.
ShoppingCartInfoProvider.EvaluateShoppingCart(ShoppingCart);

total = ShoppingCart.TotalPrice; //57.00 !!! its Still 57.00

I am sorry but I am just not seeing how the shopping cart applies these discounts or the method to call for it to do so.

sincerely
Mac
