I would like to restrict some items for sale in specific US states. I believe I can do this by simply removing the states from a dropdown list if product X is in the cart.
When I go to checkout.aspx.vb I don't see where this page captures the shopping cart through a post method so I assume everything goes to a session. Can someone tell me how to do the following:
1) Use VB.net to load the session to a variable
2) loop through the session looking for product X (or SKU)
3) change IsValid to FALSE so the person can't checkout (and produce an alert - "can't ship to state with product X")
or
4) when loading states if product X (or SKU) is found in session, do not display state in <option> secion

Hello Duane,
You need to first retrieve the Shopping Cart. SessionManager.CurrentShoppingCart will get you the basket. Then loop through the line items (Basket.Items) in the basket and figure out if your "NOT VALID" product is in the cart. If so, you may want to present an error message on the top of the Address page (use the same error control).
However, I dont understand one thing. How many products do you want to restrict? Is it only one? If so, then you are good to go with this. But in case if you end up with multiple products not being shipped to different states, then this solution will not work.
First, you will need to store that information (what product does not ship to which states?) somewhere in a matrix (in BV Admin). And then you need to automate the checking for products on whatever page you want. Thats the right way of doing it.
Thanks,
