Customer order export

After accepting an order over the web interface, Infor e-Commerce displays a final confirmation page, which includes all order details. Normally, this is simply displayed in the customer’s browser, after which the customer could, for example, print the order. However, customers can also choose to download the most recent or any previous order as an XML document, or to have all new orders automatically forwarded as XML documents to their own business system for automatic archiving.

Because various customers seek different levels of interface with the merchant’s Infor e-Commerce system, the order export feature can be configured individually for each customer. Customers who request to have XML order confirmations delivered automatically can also have an XML style sheet applied automatically, thereby ensuring that the XML document that arrives at the customer’s system is already formatted as required. When downloading manually, the resulting document always uses the same format for all customers (usually, Infor e-Commerce’s own iXML format); each customer must then apply their own style sheet if necessary. For details about the iXML structure, see the Infor e-Commerce Developer's Guide.

To use the XML order-export feature, your application must include an enabled XML Gateway.
