Dynamic Pricing ​

Depending on your use case, there may be situations where you need to use 'dynamic prices' for products depending on factors (eg. if customer is logged in, if customer is VIP, if it's a Friday, etc). Guess what - that's possible with Simple Commerce!

Essentially, the way it works is we provide a method for you to register a callback. Inside that callback you can do whatever decisioning you need to do to determine the price. I'd recommend adding this code to your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php, inside the boot method.

use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Order;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Product;
 
SimpleCommerce::productPriceHook(function (Order $order, Product $product) {
    if (now()->isWeekend()) {
        return 1750;
    }
 
    return 1500;
});
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Order;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Product;
 
SimpleCommerce::productPriceHook(function (Order $order, Product $product) {
    if (now()->isWeekend()) {
        return 1750;
    }
 
    return 1500;
});

Remember that you'll need to return the price as an integer. The above example returns £17.50 or £15.00 as prices.

An alternative method is also available for variant products.

use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Order;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Product;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Products\ProductVariant;
 
SimpleCommerce::productVariantPriceHook(function (Order $order, Product $product, ProductVariant $variant) {
    if (now()->isWeekend()) {
        return 1750;
    }
 
    return 1500;
});
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Order;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Contracts\Product;
use DuncanMcClean\SimpleCommerce\Products\ProductVariant;
 
SimpleCommerce::productVariantPriceHook(function (Order $order, Product $product, ProductVariant $variant) {
    if (now()->isWeekend()) {
        return 1750;
    }
 
    return 1500;
});
