The best way to create a new order in my custom module

[Stepel]

Hi,

what is the best way to create new order in my custom module ?
Should I create all elements by new Order(), new Cart() etc etc manually or there is some suggested method or class to do it ?

Thanks for your help.

You will need to use or create a customer and an address to use as a delivery and billing address.

After that you will have to create a shopping cart, and add the products in it.

Next, you will need to call the validatedOrder() function in the PaymentModule class to create the order, and of course you need to assign it a carrier, and create the OrderCarrier object for the current order.

Thanks, I will try. I hope there will be less problems than by the API 😕

[Stepel]

Hmm I have some doubts about using validatedOrder() method.

I created customer, addresses and cart but I see that i can add products by id_product. I would like to have influence on product price and carrier price. I see that I can set those prices in order_details and order so I am not sure if I should use validatedOrder method. I think that it will work like by API and will change prices to be equel with those prices in official product list etc..

If you want to have control over the price of the product, you can use the SpecificPrice object.

Hi again. I did it like you suggested. Thank you very much. It looks almost all is OK but I have case like i created SpecificPrice.. and in my mind was that price included tax but in order finally product has calculated tax again hm. Where and when I can set kind of "use_tax" parameter ?

[Ress]

Hi,

For the value to include taxes, set property reduction_tax to 1 (from the SpecificPrice object, of course).

[Stepel]

I have reduction_tax = 1 but still  product in final order has:  price = mine price + VAT 😕

Which way did you set the discount? Did you put the price directly? Or did you set a discount (amount or percentage)

[Stepel]

	$sp = new SpecificPrice();
        $sp->id_shop = 0;
        $sp->id_cart = $cart_id;
        $sp->id_product = $product_id;
        $sp->id_currency = 0;
        $sp->id_country = 0;
        $sp->id_group = 0;
        $sp->id_shop_group = 0;
        $sp->id_customer = $customer_id;
        $sp->price = $price;
        $sp->from_quantity = 1;
        $sp->reduction = 0;
        $sp->reduction_tax = 1;
        $sp->reduction_type = 'amount';
        $sp->from = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
        $sp->to = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
        if ($sp->add()) {
            return $sp->id;
        } else {
            return null;
        }

I do it like that so I set price directly and reduction as 0.

[Ress]

If you set the price directly, yes, it is the one without tax. That property works when you set the discount amount.

[Stepel]

Do you mean reduction property ? What should I set then in price property ?

[Ress]

From what I see in the database, if you set the amount and leave the price as it is, it is saved -1 in the "price" property.

I did it in different way. I just calculate price without tax.. i hope this will be OK solution. Thanks for your help.

[Stepel]

Hmm I have weird situation yet. Maybe it's fault of some cache..
I changed email address in database for customer but this:
 

$this->context->customer = new Customer((int) $this->context->cart->id_customer);

returns email before changed 😕

[Stepel]

Ok, I found solution
