When adding Lineitems to a basket it's important to run the 'Basket' pipeline before calling the Save method of the basket object.  This will add the price to the Lineitem (otherwise it's 0).  See the following example:

After deploying a site to a new machine we had the following error when running the 'Basket' pipeline:
Failed to retrieve profile.
Inner Exception is Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E37
  at Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Profiles.ProfileServiceClass.GetProfileByKey(String bstrKeyMemberName, Object sValue, String bstrType, Boolean bReturnError)
  at Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Profiles.Profile..ctor(ProfileContext profileService, String keyName, String keyValue, String profileType)

After a lot of searching we found the cause. It was because the profile tables (UserObject, Addresses etc) didn't exist in the end point server.  When packing a site it prompts you for 2 sql scripts for profiles - one for the schema and one for the data.  If you skip this resource then the tables aren't created.  If you haven't modified the default schema of the profile system then you can use the following file when packaging the site - Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2007\ProfileSQL.sql.  (if you have modified the schema then you have to generate your own sql).

To fix our problem we executed the ProfileSQL.sql script against the profile database in the end point server which created all of the required tables.

Error codes for Commerce Server. These codes are actually for Commerce Server 2000 but they seem to be the same as the ones in CS 2007.
