Changing price and adding a tax value to a hand coded cart / PayPal integration

3/30/2023 11:10 am | #1 Nathon Jones Web Design

Hi Ray. I hope you're doing ok man.

I've a quick question about the Sports Medical Certificates website (www.sportsmedicalcertificates.com) you'd assisted me with in the past. This website has quite a convoluted form but, essentially, passes a single value (65.00) to PayPal for the card processing bit.

The client is now VAT registered so this price needs to change to 62.50 and also add a 20% vat value (12.50). There was significant hand-coding on this, at the time, so I'm a bit terrified about changing anything universal so wanted to ask your advice on it.

I can open the eCart behaviour and I note that I could add the Tax value in there. That would be a start I guess.
Will that value automatically be passed to PayPal?

I've found the Add to Cart button and it has this line of code:

$ATC_itemPrice = floatval("65");// column binding

If I change this static value, I assume I won't need to change it anywhere else.
That, and adding the TAX value via the eCart server behaviour panel, and that should be it, right?

Would appreciate your advice and guidance. Thank you.

Yes I think you got it right. That should do the trick. I'll be around the next few days if you need help just message me in Skype and I'll screen share with you to figure it out.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

It seems to have worked, but I have an additional question. At present, where the order is stored to database, I have the following INSERT behaviour:

<?php
if ($rsISFORMINORDERS->TotalRows == 0) {
if (isset($_POST["eCartSMC_1_ATC"]) || isset($_POST["eCartSMC_1_ATC_x"])) {
  $InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($csdbmysqli);
  $InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
  $InsertQuery->Table = "SMCorders";
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderUSERID", "i", "".($rsEDITFORM->getColumnVal("SMCformUSERID"))."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderFORMID", "i", "".($rsEDITFORM->getColumnVal("SMCformID"))."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderTOTAL", "s", "75", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderSTATUSID", "i", "5", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderREFER", "s", "".((isset($_SESSION['SMCreferral']))?$_SESSION['SMCreferral']:"")  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->saveInSession("eCartSMC_OrderID");
  $InsertQuery->execute();
  $InsertGoTo = "";
  if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo = $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  $InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
}
?>

As you can see, I'm statically adding the order total, "75", in this behaviour. What I'd prefer to do is add two new columns to the orders table, SubTotal and Tax, and update the INSERT behaviour to the following:

<?php
if ($rsISFORMINORDERS->TotalRows == 0) {
if (isset($_POST["eCartSMC_1_ATC"]) || isset($_POST["eCartSMC_1_ATC_x"])) {
  $InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($csdbmysqli);
  $InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
  $InsertQuery->Table = "SMCorders";
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderUSERID", "i", "".($rsEDITFORM->getColumnVal("SMCformUSERID"))."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderFORMID", "i", "".($rsEDITFORM->getColumnVal("SMCformID"))."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderSUBTOTAL", "s", "<eCART Subtotal Value Here>", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderTAX", "s", "<eCART Tax Value Here>", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderTOTAL", "s", "<eCART GrandTotal Value Here>", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderSTATUSID", "i", "5", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderREFER", "s", "".((isset($_SESSION['SMCreferral']))?$_SESSION['SMCreferral']:"")  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->saveInSession("eCartSMC_OrderID");
  $InsertQuery->execute();
  $InsertGoTo = "";
  if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo = $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  $InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
}
?>

I'm a bit cautious about using the behaviour panel to make this change because of all the hand-coded stuff on this site. How do I add the following into the above INSERT behaviour:

SubTotal

<?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($eCartSMC, $eCartSMC->TotalColumn("TotalPrice")); ?>

Tax

<?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($eCartSMC, $eCartSMC->GetTax()); ?>

SubTotal

<?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($eCartSMC, $eCartSMC->GrandTotal()); ?>

Thank you.

php:

$InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderSUBTOTAL", "s", "". ($eCartSMC->TotalColumn("TotalPrice")) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");

  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderTAX", "s", "". ($eCartSMC->GetTax()) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");

  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("SMCorderTOTAL", "s", "". ($eCartSMC->GrandTotal()) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
