[Resolved] include product price in short code

HI – basically I have one product (teaching) whose price varies by length of time. (I already have wordpress setup so each user has their own private protected page) and I give each user a button to pay for their last training session.

So I’d like to include the price in the short code on each user’s page, like this:

[asp_product id=”196″ price=”200″]

So I added into function shortcode_asp_product( $atts )

one line, at approx line 257:

after: $price = get_post_meta( $id, ‘asp_product_price’, true );
this: $price = $atts[‘price’]; //ARM20190502

I notice there’s a filter that alters the price too, in about the same place, but I’m not using it right now. I just note that it’s there:
$price_arr = apply_filters( ‘asp_modify_price_currency_shipping’, $price_arr );

Ok, so far so good. The right prices shows up in the button, and in the payment popup. It’s correct in the payment <form> code, it’s right everywhere. But when the transaction is completed the (existing, incorrect) product price from the database is what has been charged.

Normally I’m pretty good about working things through and debugging my changes, but I cannot work out *how* or *where* the stored product price is overwriting the price I set in the shortcode that’s being propagated all the way through and shown to the customer. What I see in the Stripe payment dashboard page is like this:

Amount:$1,1287 (succeeded) 1xCAD$226.00 – ch_1E……….

The product price was set in the db at $999 and the shortcode had price=200, so with tax, the amount actually charged wasn’t what I wanted but the description was.

And the ‘order’ in the WP database also shows $1,1287 not $226. (that is, $999+tax instead of $200+tax)

Can you help me by telling me where/how/why the $price in shortcode_asp_product is being overwritten?
