I have a custom product store and I've made a designer page (outside of X-Cart) that will calculate the price based on many variables. In X-Cart 4, I could send code to the cart like this:

I have a custom product store and I've made a designer page (outside of X-Cart) that will calculate the price based on many variables. In X-Cart 4, I could send code to the cart like this:

GET /store/cart.php?mode=add&productid=17648&price=24&product_options[458]=HTRH&product_options[459]=HTR&product_options[460]=Acme%20Regular&product_options[461]=&product_options[462]=Acme%20Regular&product_options[463]=Black&product_options[464]=&product_options[465]=No&product_options[466]=LocalHero&product_options[467]=No%20Logo%20File%20Uploaded&product_options[468]=Adult/Youth&product_options[469]=White%20Jersey&product_options[470]=No&product_options[471]=&product_options[472]=http://www.localheromx.com/jersey/image/savedImage/htr-24-882.png&amount=1 

This would fit nicely in X-Cart 4. But when I try something similar in X-Cart 5, the "price=24" does not work. It defaults to the price in the cart, even if the price is set to $0.00.

How do I change the price in X-Cart 5?

What if a customer opens such a link but with "price=0.01". Will it allow him to buy the product for a cent?
It looks very unsecure to me.

I think you should look into using REST API to inject one-time validation codes into a custom XC5 table, then pass a hash from this code along with your "custom price" request and validate if the hash compares to the validation code stored in the database. But this requires a custom module, of course.

I understand your concern, but I had a custom application built to handle my custom product. There isn't a place where the customer can see any code to change. It all happens through the application and would be secure (I've used it in X-Cart 4 for years).

I just need to know what variable to put in to change the PRICE in X-Cart 5?

You can't do this in the "stock X-Cart 5" due to security reasons.
You have to create a custom module that will allow you to do this on your site (and I still don't recommend going this way and suggest you to consider more secure methods).
