Is this something you guys could implement? Its very useful as I use a CMS and I could used that data feed to keep track of all of my orders in my CMS instead of having to dig through emails.



Thanks for considering.

E-junkieChefAdam, we are coming us with another integration end-point where all the data for a transaction (not just one item) can be sent to a script.



You can then write a script to the the POST data and format it into the XML structure you need.

E-junkieChefYou can do that already using our integration feature. We use that feature to provide integration with SwiftCD.

Hey E-JunkieChef,



Where can i find more information about writing some code to interact with this "end-point"?



Basically I have a CMS (ExpressionEngine), that I use for my content as well as my ecommerce store. There is a plugin for EE, but it only works with one of your competitors at the moment, and i would like to tweek the code in this plugin so it will work with my e-junkie account. However, in order to do this I need someplace to go where i can learn how e-junkie info is output and formatted and what things you are planning to do in the future, so i can better make a plan for this.



Thanks,



Adam

Thanks Tyson,



2 questions...



1: I'm assuming that the data uses POST and can be retrieved like so in php:



$payer_email = $POST['payeremail'];



2: Also I was just looking at the 3rd party integration link you gave and I noticed that you have the following listed:

address_city

address_state

address_zip

address_country_code

but I don't see the street address? Im assuming you are posting the street address, but it just got left off of the support page. Please let me know the name of that particular payment variable.



Thanks,



Adam

Im assuming the answer to my second question is address_street, is that correct?



Also, how would I use item_cart_position when using $item_cart_position = $POST['itemcart_position'];



I mean how does item_cart_position really work in this situation? Please show a little php code so i can see how to use it. We sell multiple products and people can buy many different products and different quantities, so I was think about doing a while statement, but not sure how to use the item_cart_position variable.



For instance... If someone order 3 products, e-junkie would post item_cart_position 3 times? and the first time it woudl be equal to 1, then 2 then 3? If so how do i capture this and use it correctly?

Thanks E-JunkieChef,



so would something like this work to multiple products into my database:



for ($i=1; $i<=$POST['numcart_items']; $i++) {

$item_namex = $POST['itemname'.$i];

$item_numberx = $POST['itemnumber'.$i];

$quantityx = $_POST['quantity'.$i];

$mc_gross_x = $POST['mcgross_'.$i];



mysql_select_db($mysql);

$query = "INSERT INTO orders (item_name, item_number, quantity, item_total) VALUES ('$item_namex', '$item_numberx', '$quantityx', '$mc_gross_x')";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

}



This way I run however many queries as there are items.





Thanks for your help,



Adam
