World Market Express

[Brett]

I'm looking at integrating World Market Express (WME), an alternative checkout for international orders, with Shopsite. Everything is fairly self-explanatory except when posting the order information from WME back to Shopsite.

Example: A customer adds items to their cart and decides to check out using WME. He clicks the WME checkout button and is then redirected to the WME shopping cart. Once the customer is finished filling out his billing information, he is then returned to Shopsite. Shopsite will still need to log this order. How do I know what to post to order.cgi? Is this even possible?

Thanks,

There is no way to implement a payment gateway not already integrated with ShopSite and have it post back information that will be included included in a ShopSite order or be used to approve a ShopSite order.

If you have ShopSite Pro, you can use a script created for the Order API feature to redirect a shopper to your payment gateway's web payments site with all of the order info (totals, shopper name/address, even product info if you want), however the execution of the Order API scripts only occurs AFTER the order has been completed as far as ShopSite is concerned. So you could get ShopSite orders that shoppers never completed payment for on your gateway's site. So for all ShopSite orders, you would have to verify in your gateway account that the payment was completed before you actually filled the order.

Thanks for the quick response Jim. That's the impression I got. We would need the customer to go straight from the shopping cart page to the new gateway where they would fill out billing, shipping. etc., instead of going through the Shopsite billing process. Looks as if this is not possible.

Thanks again,

That's right, you couldn't skip the ShopSite checkout page with this method, however you could (if your gateway allows it) pass the address info that the shopper provided in the ShopSite checkout to the gateway so they could pre-populate their address fields or something so that there is less repetition for the shopper when they complete the gateway payment.
