Hi Frank,

Thank you for your code. It saved my time a lot.. but when I tried the code "Cart %1 does not contain item %2" has gone but facing other issues now..

1. Multiple products are not getting added, only first product in the loop will get added.
2. Product price will be 0.00 always.
3. Shipping method is not getting saved.

Can you please guide me to resolve the issue.

Hi nimila and Frank,

I got the same problems with yours and I managed to solve them. The full code piece is at here.
Here are my explanation to my solution:

1.Multiple products are not getting added, only first product in the loop will get added.

Instead of using \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product in __construct parameter, I used \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory. Then I create product object by doing $product=$this->_product->create()->load($item['product_id']);. Here is the snippet that add products to quote:

        //add items in quote
        foreach($orderData['items'] as $item){
            $product=$this->_product->create()->load($item['product_id']);
                $quote->addProduct(
                    $product,
                    intval($item['qty'])
                );
        }

2.Product price will be 0.00 always.

I'm not saving the order by $this->cartRepositoryInterface->save($quote);. Instead, I used $quote->save();. (In fact my code is a little different. I used the following code to create a $cart, which is the interface of $quote:

$cart_id = $this->cartManagementInterface->createEmptyCart();
$cart = $this->cartRepogitoryInterface->get($cart_id);

3.Shipping method is not getting saved.

I find my flatrate_flatrate shipping method is saved properly with Frank's code. But when I want to use freeshipping_freeshipping, I have to give the __construct a \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address\Rate $shippingRate parameter and added some code like this:

        // Collect Rates and Set Shipping & Payment Method
        $this->shippingRate
            ->setCode('freeshipping_freeshipping')
            ->getPrice(1);
        $shippingAddress = $cart->getShippingAddress();
        //@todo set in order data
        $shippingAddress->setCollectShippingRates(true)
            ->collectShippingRates()
            ->setShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate'); //shipping method
        $cart->getShippingAddress()->addShippingRate($this->rate);
        $cart->setPaymentMethod('checkmo'); //payment method

It's does not work with Table rate - Weight and Destination. Please give me an advice?
Thanks

How can we call the function from phtml file ?

@godriccao Thanks a lot! Life saver.

@TheFrankman,

I am using this code and order is creating but order total is 0 (zero).

}`

Creates order but all prices sets to 0 after adding line $this->cartRepositoryInterface->save($quote); after $quote->setCurrency();

@godriccao your solution works, thanks a lot.

@godriccao , shipment is not getting saved
