What is the best way to go about the following scenario.
On the product display page, i want to create functionality, so that a
user can enter a specific discount amount in dollars into a textbox,
and when the item is added to the basket , the sale price(list price
minus the discount price entered into the text box) will be recorded
to the line item. This discounted sale price will be used to calculate
the Subtotal for the orderform.
thanks

Hi,

I think you might be able to achive what you outlined, by adding the user
input discount amount as a weakly-typed property (lookup LineItem.Item
property) on the LineItem and then using this value to do the associated
calculations in a pipeline component which would replace the totals
calcualted by the out of the box components.

Thanks,
