Use BVCommerce for shopping cart but not catalog

I am creating a custom pricing algorythm to do pricing for an industrial product. There are about a million possible configurations for the product so a traditional catalog is not feasible. I know how to create the pricing program in .Net so that I end up with a part number, a quantity and a price for the product.
Can I somehow pass the part number, quantity and price to BV so that BV can handle building individual shopping carts and the rest of the process? |

I have made an add-on for 2004.7 to do this. I have not looked into doing this for BV5 yet.

Don, you can add items to your cart from an external link by using the following parameters: “quickaddid” & “quickaddqty” The “QuickAddId” is the products “bvin” number. “QuickAddQty” allows you to specify what quantity you want to be added. If you leave this off, it will default to a quantity of 1. Example: http://www.YOURSTORE.com...CTBVIN&quickaddqty=1I am pretty sure you can also use "QuickAddSKU". I believe this was added in to SP1, if not SP2. http://www.YOURSTORE.com...ctsSku&quickaddqty=3 |

I guess I should mention that even though you may have a complex pricing model, the product will still have to exist in the store with a price in order for the example above to work. |

Nick, I think what he is saying is that the products are not in the product database, the product part number and price is being programmatically generated. If that is the case then I can help him programmatically add the custom part to the cart. If I misread the the post and the item numbers and pricing is already in the product db, then the quickaddtocart will certainly work nicely. |

Hey Carl.
After I posted that comment, I thought about it some more and came to the same conclusion. I tried to catch myself.... :( |

Thanks guys. Yes, the products are not going to be in the database because it would not be practical. |

Don, yes, this can all be done dynamically and rendered to the end user. instead of using a static database driven catalog. this may be much easier than you think. contact me if you want to further discuss. Scott Mech [email protected] 704-875-9179
