        VARNAME="varname"/> 

Parameters

NAME (required)

Input parameter. Name of the cart object.

VARNAME (required)

Input parameter. Name of the variable that holds one of the following values:

• true - the cart is acceptable and can be committed to Transact.
• false - the cart is not acceptable to Transact.

Description

As a result of the check, CART.CHECK updates the following parameters with legal values:

• subTotal - The total cost of items

• shippingInfo-shippingCost - The total cost of shipping.
  shippingInfo-shipperID - The Transact shipper GUID.
  shippingInfo-shipperName - The Transact shipper name.

• tax-taxType - Type (USSalesTax, Canadian, VAT)
  tax-taxAmount - The total tax amount (if taxType is not Canadian)
  tax-GST - Canadian GST
  tax-PST - Canadian PST

• shippingInfo-shippingTax-taxType - Type (USSalesTax, Canadian, VAT)
  shippingInfo-shippingTax-taxAmount - if taxType is not Canadian
shippingInfo-shippingTax-GST - Canadian GST
  shippingInfo-shippingTax-PST - Canadian PST

• totalSalesAmount- The sum of subTotal, shippingCost, and tax-taxAmount.

• store - A set of parameters that come from the transact.ini file. (Normally, the Web developer is only concerned with storeID and currencyCode.)

See "Shopping Cart Parameters," for details on returned parameters.

The CART.CHECK tag also returns an error code and error message if Transact cannot resolve any other field in the cart (for example, a missing postal code, or a postal code that is not legal for a specified city).

• As a result of the check, the cart object is updated to reflect any errors or notifications retrieved from the Transact. Choices for fields that have choices also become available.

Example

<!-- Get the current cart. -->
<COMMERCECONTEXT.GETCURRENTCART VARNAME="thiscart"/>
<!-- Check the cart to enumerate payment methods. -->
<CART.CHECK NAME="thiscart" VARNAME="cartstatus"/>
<!-- Now get the legal values for the payment types. -->
<CART.GETLEGALVALUES NAME="thiscart" FIELD="paymentInfo-brandID"
LISTVARNAME="paylist"/>
