Workflows and activities

In Optimizely Commerce Connect, activity flows were used to validate and calculate checkout totals. An activity flow is a container of steps or activities that can be executed. When executing an activity flow, a list of configured activities and if/else conditions are executed.

Activities can be replaced by the following validation services and processors:

• OrderValidationService
• IPurchaseOrderProcessor
• IPaymentPlanProcessor
• IShipmentProcessor
• IPlacedPriceProcessor
• IInventoryProcessor
• IPaymentProcessor
• Order total calculators

These components mentioned here are available in the EPiServer.Commerce.Order and EPiServer.Commerce.Order.Calculator namespaces.

Activity flows

• CartValidateActivityFlow
  Use OrderValidationService.ValidateOrder() instead.
• CartPrepareActivityFlow
  Use OrderValidationService.ValidateOrder() and OrderGroupExtensions.CalculateTotals() instead.
• CartCheckoutActivityFlow
  Use OrderValidationService.ValidateOrder() and OrderGroupExtensions.CalculateTotals() instead.

Example Commerce Connect 14 and higher:

CartBuilder ch = new CartBuilder();
    foreach (VariationContent entry in entries)
    {
       ch.AddEntry(entry, quantity, false);
    }
    ch.Cart.ProviderId = "FrontEnd";
    OrderValidationService.ValidateOrder(ch.Cart);
    ch.Cart.AcceptChanges();

Example Commerce Connect 10-13:

CartBuilder ch = new CartBuilder();
    foreach (VariationContent entry in entries)
    {
       ch.AddEntry(entry, quantity, false);
    }
    ch.Cart.ProviderId = "FrontEnd";
    ch.RunWorkflow(OrderGroupWorkflowManager.CartValidateWorkflowName);
    ch.Cart.AcceptChanges();
