I have an interesting problem that I'm trying to wrap my head around. I'm creating a subscription based service that will charge extra for premium products. What does this mean?...ok, let's say I've created a subscription based service that allows you to get any 5 standard magazines of your choice shipped to you per month, where a standard magazine is any magazine that costs less than $7.99. Magazines more expensive than that are considered premium.
Now if a subscriber selects a standard magazine, this is fine, the order is created and the magazine is shipped, this order falls within the terms of the subscription. However, if the subscriber selects a premium magazIne, then I have to charge them the difference of the magazine price from 7.99. So if they order a magazine worth 9.99, I have to charge them 2 bucks, etc etc. Now, I can't figure out where to put this logic check. What I've started with was this. I created another controller method to check the price, if it's standard, send to the create method(is that even possible??). If the magazine price is high, I redirect to a confirm page then back to the create method....this means that I have to store my order in a session, right? Which just seems like over kill. Has anyone had a problem like this before? How did you go about solving it?
