One of the most common approaches various businesses try to uplift their sales figure is offering the discount. Magento 2 store owners usually incorporate the discounts on store products by displaying the actual price along with the special price to lure the visitors to shop at discounted rates. After the implementation, the home page or category page displays the actual price as cancelled and the special price as the price to be paid.
When you create a custom page in Magento 2 for the products and assign the fetched price, it assigns the actual price instead of the special prices, which is wrong. So you have to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2 store and assign the same to the products. Here, I have come up with the code to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2.
Methods to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2:
- With Object Manager
- Block Method
Methods to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2:
1. With Object Manager
<?php
$product_id = 10; //Product ID
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$_product = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($product_id);
$orgprice = $_product->getPrice();
$specialprice = $_product->getSpecialPrice();
$specialfromdate = $_product->getSpecialFromDate();
$specialtodate = $_product->getSpecialToDate();
$today = time();
if (!$specialprice)
$specialprice = $orgprice;
if ($specialprice< $orgprice) {
if ((is_null($specialfromdate) &&is_null($specialtodate)) || ($today >= strtotime($specialfromdate) &&is_null($specialtodate)) || ($today <= strtotime($specialtodate) &&is_null($specialfromdate)) || ($today >= strtotime($specialfromdate) && $today <= strtotime($specialtodate))) {
echo 'product has a special price';
}
}
?>
2. Block Method
use Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory;
protected $productFactory;
public function __construct(ProductFactory $productFactory) {
$this->productFactory = $productFactory;
}
public function getIsSpecialPrice($productId){
$_product = $this->productFactory->create()->load($productId);
$orgprice = $_product->getPrice();
$specialprice = $_product->getSpecialPrice();
$specialfromdate = $_product->getSpecialFromDate();
$specialtodate = $_product->getSpecialToDate();
$today = time();
if (!$specialprice)
$specialprice = $orgprice;
if ($specialprice< $orgprice) {
if ((is_null($specialfromdate) &&is_null($specialtodate)) || ($today >= strtotime($specialfromdate) &&is_null($specialtodate)) || ($today <= strtotime($specialtodate) &&is_null($specialfromdate)) || ($today >= strtotime($specialfromdate) && $today <= strtotime($specialtodate))) {
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
That’s it!
Easy to implement and effective Bring the special prices and show with the products in your custom Magento 2 pages.
Once checked, you can set special prices for products in Magento 2.
Happy Coding!
