Developping WP Plugin to manage sales. Need 3rd party details

ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION



Hi, yesterday I talked to my accountant (french tax laws are awesome )



So the request is :



Plugin, in order to simplify management uses mostly common notification URL to receive data from e-junkie, but there is some tax info missing in the ITEM SPECIFIC section :



current data :



Item Specific IPN Data

Here, X represents the position of each item in the buyer's cart:



item_nameX

item_numberX - item number you have set in product configuration

quantityX - quantity sold

mc_gross_X - sale price for this product * quantity sold

option_name1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's name

option_selection1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's value that buyer selected

option_name2_X

option_selection2_X

option_name3_X

option_selection3_X





needs to be :



Item Specific IPN Data

Here, X represents the position of each item in the buyer's cart:



item_nameX

item_numberX - item number you have set in product configuration

quantityX - quantity sold

mc_gross_X - sale price for this product * quantity sold



tax_X - tax amount for this product * quantity sold (some products may have different tax rate) and in some countries (france) this information is a must on the bill sheet



option_name1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's name

option_selection1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's value that buyer selected

option_name2_X

option_selection2_X

option_name3_X

option_selection3_X



also, it would be so genius to include :



affiliate_fee_X into the data sent to common notification URL - thus the final user would skip the whole process of setting up Product specific notification URLs just to track the affiliate share.



I do understand this request asks more coding from the e-junkie team, but I'm also sure this kind of amelioration of the data send would improve your service quality.



thanks guys

Serge, just letting you know I've asked Development to consider your concerns and requests re: IPN/Integration variables.



Offhand, I'm not sure if we pass an item-specific tax breakdown to PayPal that they would pass back to us in IPN, which we would then passthru to Integration URLs, vs. if we only pass them a lump-sum tax. This may actually have changed recently now that we support their tax/shipping recalculation feature. Also, since affiliate shares are all calculated as item-specific now, it seems reasonable to include those in our Integration POSTs if feasible.

Thanks for supporting me on that, I stay tuned.



The affiliate_fee_X would be really greate!
