In custom app block, the selling_plan_allocations for variant does not have correct price

[paro22]

Hi there,

I'm following this guide to create an app for try-before-you-buy.

In the example code under "The selling plan selector on the product page", it mentions both "selected_selling_plan_allocation" and "selling_plan_allocations". However, when I test this, the allocation object still had the original price, not the lower purchase option price.

Here's how I'm testing it:

1. I have a selling plan with $0 fixed due at checkout assigned to my test product.
2. To make sure it's a server-side request that Liquid processes, I call the URL with both the variant and selling_plan: /products/the-3p-fulfilled-snowboard?variant=45203469238594&selling_plan=689019388226 
3. I'm printing a few debug strings to see the values:
   1. current_variant.selected_selling_plan_allocation = SellingPlanAllocationDrop
   2. current_variant.selected_selling_plan_allocation.price = 262995 [this is where I expected $0]
   3. product.selected_selling_plan.checkout_charge.value = 0

So it seems like the product selling plan has the correct info, but the variant selling plan allocation does not. Based on the example code given in the docs, I expected the variant to have the necessary info to render the correct price.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Hi!
There might be some confusion. The `current_variant.selected_selling_plan_allocation.price` refers to the amount that the customer is going to pay in the end. For try before you buy, this value equals to the full price.

I believe the value you are looking for in `selling_plan_allocation` should be the `checkout_charge_amount`: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/selling_plan_allocation#selling_plan_allocation-checkout...

Hope this helps!

Ah, that makes sense. I thought the example code in the docs would have already accounted for that.
