Summary

Order confirmation notification emails displayed incorrect amounts (e.g., a $149.99 order showed as $1.50).

Root cause: NotificationRenderer.FormatCurrency() divided the amount by 100, assuming OrderPlacedEvent.TotalAmount was transmitted in cents. In reality, TotalAmount is a decimal already representing dollars — the shared contract (Shared.Contracts.Events.OrderPlacedEvent), the HTTP DTO, and the OrderEventConsumer all pass the value through without any cents conversion. The erroneous / 100m division turned 149.99 into 1.4999, which formatted as $1.50.

Fix: Remove the / 100m division and format the amount directly. Updated the XML doc comment to reflect that the amount is already in dollars.

Before / After

Before (bug) After (fix)
Before — $1.50 shown incorrectly After — $149.99 shown correctly

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify that ALL producers of OrderPlacedEvent.TotalAmount send dollars, not cents. This PR only confirmed the HTTP test endpoint and the shared contract. If the Order service (or any RabbitMQ publisher) converts to cents before publishing, this fix would be wrong and the bug is actually on the producer side. Check the Order service's event publishing code.
  • Run the notification service locally and POST to /api/notification/events/order-placed with {"orderId": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111", "customerId": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222", "totalAmount": 149.99, "placedAt": "2026-03-17T12:00:00Z"}, then open the preview URL and confirm the total shows $149.99.
  • Test edge cases: 0.00, 0.01, 999999.99 — confirm formatting is correct.

Notes

  • ToString("C2") uses the server's current culture for currency symbol/formatting. This was already the behavior before this change and is unchanged. If the production server's culture differs from en-US, the currency symbol may not be $.
  • No unit tests exist for FormatCurrency. Consider adding tests to prevent regressions.

…il formatting

Root cause: NotificationRenderer.FormatCurrency() was dividing the amount by 100,
assuming TotalAmount was in cents. However, the OrderPlacedEvent contract and all
producers send TotalAmount as a decimal in dollars (e.g. 149.99). The division
caused 149.99 to display as $1.50 in order confirmation emails.

Fix: Remove the / 100m division and format the amount directly, since it is
already in dollars.
