    Get variant description in order line

    I want to dispay the variant description of the item added to my cart.

    I have the following code:

    @foreach (var lineItem in basket.OrderLines)
     {
           var product = @CatalogLibrary.GetProduct(lineItem.Sku);
                    
            <span class="options">
                  @product.GetDescription(cultureCode).LongDescription;

             </span>

    }

    This gives me the product description and not the description of the variant.

    Anyone?

    Cheers,

    Marc

    I think the problem is that you just get the product from the lineItem.Sku not the variant.

    Try using lineItem.VariantSku to get the variant. If that fails maybe the lineItem isn't a variant at all. You can check that with "product.IsVariant".

    I tried:

    var product = @CatalogLibrary.GetProduct(lineItem.VariantSKU);

    Which gives me 'The product with SKU does not exist'

    The SKU returned is 001 which is the correct SKU for my variant

    The full SKU IS 'PR001 - 001' SO I tried:

    var product = @CatalogLibrary.GetProduct(lineItem.Sku + " - " + lineItem.VariantSKU);

    However also results in 'The product with SKU does not exist'

    Hi Marc,

    You can only load the full product with every variant like so:

    var product = @CatalogLibrary.GetProduct(lineItem.Sku);
    var variant = product.Variants.Single(x => x.VariantSku == lineItem.VariantSku); 

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Soren,

    I am trying to get at the variant description so that website users can see what they have added to the cart. I have trie your above code however variant doesnt have longdecription as an option. The screen grab below shows the text that I am trying to display in the cart.

    Cheers,

    Marc

    The product/variant itself hasn't the LongDescription.

    The Descriptions are in the ProductDescriptions property of the product. So you have to get the description and than the long description.

    ProductDescription pd = variant.GetDescription(culture.ToString()); and than pd.LongDescription where culture is the current culture.
