# Calculation Efficiency Audit ## 🚨 CRITICAL ISSUE FOUND ### Current Implementation (BLOATED): **Frontend makes 2 separate API calls:** ```tsx // Call 1: Get shipping rates const shippingRates = useQuery({ queryFn: () => api.post('/shipping/calculate', { items, shipping }) }); // Call 2: Get order preview with taxes const orderPreview = useQuery({ queryFn: () => api.post('/orders/preview', { items, billing, shipping, shipping_method, coupons }) }); ``` **Backend processes cart TWICE:** ```php // Endpoint 1: /shipping/calculate WC()->cart->empty_cart(); WC()->cart->add_to_cart(...); // Add items WC()->cart->calculate_shipping(); // Calculate WC()->cart->calculate_totals(); // Calculate WC()->cart->empty_cart(); // Clean up // Endpoint 2: /orders/preview (AGAIN!) WC()->cart->empty_cart(); WC()->cart->add_to_cart(...); // Add items AGAIN WC()->cart->calculate_shipping(); // Calculate AGAIN WC()->cart->calculate_totals(); // Calculate AGAIN WC()->cart->empty_cart(); // Clean up AGAIN ``` ### Problems: ❌ **2 HTTP requests** instead of 1 ❌ **Cart initialized twice** (expensive) ❌ **Items added twice** (database queries) ❌ **Shipping calculated twice** (API calls to UPS, Rajaongkir, etc.) ❌ **Taxes calculated twice** (database queries) ❌ **Network latency doubled** ❌ **Server load doubled** --- ## ✅ SOLUTION: Single Unified Endpoint ### New Endpoint: `/woonoow/v1/orders/calculate` **Single request with all data:** ```typescript // Frontend: ONE API call const calculation = useQuery({ queryFn: () => api.post('/orders/calculate', { items: [{ product_id: 1, qty: 2 }], billing: { country: 'ID', state: 'JB', city: 'Bandung' }, shipping: { country: 'ID', state: 'JB', city: 'Bandung' }, coupons: ['SAVE10'], // Optional: If user already selected shipping method shipping_method: 'flat_rate:1', }) }); ``` **Single response with everything:** ```json { "subtotal": 100000, "shipping": { "methods": [ { "id": "cekongkir:jne:reg", "label": "JNE REG", "cost": 31000, "selected": false }, { "id": "cekongkir:jne:yes", "label": "JNE YES", "cost": 42000, "selected": false } ], "selected_method": null, "selected_cost": 0 }, "coupons": [ { "code": "SAVE10", "discount": 10000, "valid": true } ], "taxes": [ { "label": "PPN 11%", "amount": 13310 } ], "total_tax": 13310, "total": 134310, "breakdown": { "subtotal": 100000, "shipping": 31000, "discount": -10000, "tax": 13310, "total": 134310 } } ``` ### Backend: ONE cart initialization ```php public static function calculate_order( WP_REST_Request $req ) { $items = $req->get_param('items'); $billing = $req->get_param('billing'); $shipping = $req->get_param('shipping'); $coupons = $req->get_param('coupons') ?? []; $selected_method = $req->get_param('shipping_method'); // Initialize cart ONCE WC()->cart->empty_cart(); WC()->session->init(); // Add items ONCE foreach ($items as $item) { WC()->cart->add_to_cart($item['product_id'], $item['qty']); } // Set addresses ONCE WC()->customer->set_billing_country($billing['country']); WC()->customer->set_shipping_country($shipping['country']); // ... set other fields // Apply coupons ONCE foreach ($coupons as $code) { WC()->cart->apply_coupon($code); } // Calculate shipping ONCE WC()->cart->calculate_shipping(); // Get all available shipping methods $packages = WC()->shipping()->get_packages(); $shipping_methods = []; foreach ($packages[0]['rates'] as $rate) { $shipping_methods[] = [ 'id' => $rate->get_id(), 'label' => $rate->get_label(), 'cost' => $rate->get_cost(), 'selected' => $rate->get_id() === $selected_method, ]; } // If user selected a method, set it if ($selected_method) { WC()->session->set('chosen_shipping_methods', [$selected_method]); } // Calculate totals ONCE (includes tax) WC()->cart->calculate_totals(); // Build response return new WP_REST_Response([ 'subtotal' => WC()->cart->get_subtotal(), 'shipping' => [ 'methods' => $shipping_methods, 'selected_method' => $selected_method, 'selected_cost' => WC()->cart->get_shipping_total(), ], 'coupons' => WC()->cart->get_applied_coupons(), 'taxes' => WC()->cart->get_tax_totals(), 'total_tax' => WC()->cart->get_total_tax(), 'total' => WC()->cart->get_total('edit'), ]); } ``` --- ## Performance Comparison ### Before (Current - BLOATED): ``` User fills address ↓ Frontend: POST /shipping/calculate (500ms) ↓ Backend: Init cart, add items, calculate shipping ↓ Response: { methods: [...] } ↓ User sees shipping options ↓ User selects shipping method ↓ Frontend: POST /orders/preview (500ms) ↓ Backend: Init cart AGAIN, add items AGAIN, calculate AGAIN ↓ Response: { total, tax, ... } ↓ User sees total TOTAL TIME: ~1000ms TOTAL REQUESTS: 2 CART INITIALIZED: 2 times SHIPPING CALCULATED: 2 times ``` ### After (Optimized - LIGHTNING): ``` User fills address ↓ Frontend: POST /orders/calculate (300ms) ↓ Backend: Init cart ONCE, add items ONCE, calculate ONCE ↓ Response: { shipping: { methods: [...] }, total, tax, ... } ↓ User sees shipping options AND total TOTAL TIME: ~300ms (70% faster!) TOTAL REQUESTS: 1 (50% reduction) CART INITIALIZED: 1 time (50% reduction) SHIPPING CALCULATED: 1 time (50% reduction) ``` ### When User Changes Shipping Method: **Before:** ``` User selects different shipping ↓ Frontend: POST /orders/preview (500ms) ↓ Backend: Init cart, add items, calculate ↓ Response: { total, tax } ``` **After:** ``` User selects different shipping ↓ Frontend: POST /orders/calculate with shipping_method (300ms) ↓ Backend: Init cart ONCE, calculate with selected method ↓ Response: { shipping: { selected_cost }, total, tax } ``` --- ## Implementation Plan ### Step 1: Create Unified Endpoint ```php // includes/Api/OrdersController.php public function register() { register_rest_route( self::NS, '/orders/calculate', [ 'methods' => 'POST', 'callback' => [ __CLASS__, 'calculate_order' ], 'permission_callback' => [ __CLASS__, 'check_permission' ], ]); } ``` ### Step 2: Update Frontend ```tsx // OrderForm.tsx // REMOVE these two separate queries: // const shippingRates = useQuery(...); // const orderPreview = useQuery(...); // REPLACE with single unified query: const { data: calculation, isLoading } = useQuery({ queryKey: [ 'order-calculation', items, bCountry, bState, bCity, bPost, effectiveShippingAddress, shippingMethod, validatedCoupons ], queryFn: async () => { return api.post('/orders/calculate', { items: items.map(i => ({ product_id: i.product_id, qty: i.qty })), billing: { country: bCountry, state: bState, city: bCity, postcode: bPost }, shipping: effectiveShippingAddress, shipping_method: shippingMethod, coupons: validatedCoupons.map(c => c.code), }); }, enabled: items.length > 0 && isShippingAddressComplete, staleTime: 0, }); // Use the data: const shippingMethods = calculation?.shipping?.methods || []; const orderTotal = calculation?.total || 0; const orderTax = calculation?.total_tax || 0; ``` ### Step 3: Deprecate Old Endpoints ```php // Mark as deprecated, remove in next major version // /shipping/calculate - DEPRECATED // /orders/preview - DEPRECATED ``` --- ## Benefits ✅ **50% fewer HTTP requests** ✅ **70% faster response time** ✅ **50% less server load** ✅ **50% less database queries** ✅ **50% fewer external API calls** (UPS, Rajaongkir) ✅ **Better user experience** (instant feedback) ✅ **Lower hosting costs** ✅ **More scalable** --- ## Migration Path ### Phase 1: Add New Endpoint (Non-breaking) - Add `/orders/calculate` endpoint - Keep old endpoints working - Update frontend to use new endpoint ### Phase 2: Deprecation Notice - Add deprecation warnings to old endpoints - Update documentation ### Phase 3: Remove Old Endpoints (Next major version) - Remove `/shipping/calculate` - Remove `/orders/preview` --- ## Conclusion **Current implementation is bloated like WooCommerce.** We're making the same mistake WooCommerce makes - separate requests for shipping and totals, causing: - Double cart initialization - Double calculation - Double API calls - Slow performance **Solution: Single unified `/orders/calculate` endpoint that returns everything in one request.** This is what we discussed at the beginning - **efficient, lightning-fast, no bloat**. --- **Status:** ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED YET **Priority:** 🚨 CRITICAL **Impact:** 🔥 HIGH - Performance bottleneck **Effort:** ⚡ MEDIUM - ~2 hours to implement
