Product price not being set for programmatically created quote item

Question

I am using the following code to set the product to the quote object

$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$quote->addProduct($product,new Varien_Object(array('qty'   => $productid)));

The product and it's quantity is stored in the sales_flat_quote_item table on saving the quote but the price and base price is 0. The price is not set with the price of the product.

Answer 1

You need to call function collectTotals() before saving your instance of Mage_Sales_Model_Quote.

Proper code block would look like this:

$productId = 1;
$productQty = 15;

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);

$quote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote');
$quote->addProduct($product, new Varien_Object(array('qty'   => $productQty)));

$quote->collectTotals(); // This is the line you're missing
$quote->save();
