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 or else conditions are executed.

Replace activities with the following validation services and processors:

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

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

Activity workflows

Replace each activity flow with the following services:

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

Example for Commerce Connect 14 and 15

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();

Activities

Replace each activity with the following extensions or processors:

• AdjustInventoryActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.AdjustInventoryOrRemoveLineItems() instead.
• CalculateDiscountsActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.ApplyDiscounts() and IOrderGroupExtensions.UpdateInventoryOrRemoveLineItems() instead.
• CalculateTotalsActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.CalculateTotals() instead.
• CheckInventoryActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.UpdateInventoryOrRemoveLineItems() instead.
• ProcessPaymentActivity – Use IPaymentProcessor.ProcessPayment() instead.
• RemoveDiscountsActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.ApplyDiscounts() instead.
• ShipmentSplitActivity – Use IOrderGroupExtensions.CalculateTotals() instead.
• ValidateLineItemsActivity – Use IPlacedPriceProcessor.UpdatePlacedPrice() instead.
