mrheff Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 hi guys, i got a wee problem, i made a wee shop for my bro, and were nearly done managed to scrape by with some ok coding to a point im fairly happy. now were using a real simple payment system called Ideal its a dutch thing, anyway i have a simple checkout created that works through setting up saome variables in a form on my site and sending the user to that Ideal system (on the press of a buton named pay with ideal), that system then takes over taking the user to their bank site to review and confirm payment.. and then sends me a mail phew glad i got all that out.... what i need to do is intercept the form somehow to empty the cart. any ideas lads and ladies? i just dont want the user to have to empty their arrival on return to the site., like ive refilled their cart so i figure i need to switch the cart to an order save that in me db and empty all rows containing their cartid from the carts/basket db just canney figure it oot cap'n. any ideas would be greatly accepted. ta.

ToonMariner Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 does the ideal site not offer a redirection on completion of transaction??? So when the user has paid they are redirected back to your site with either a complete or failed note - you can then use that to display a congrats page and clear out the cart or an error page stating the payment failed. Waiting ion the email could cause you problems - you could check the inbox for emails from ideal and clear carts when the users order number is detected - but email CAN take a while to get through....

mrheff Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 i wish, they return the homepage url, not even an ok page, so they go to the root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 really? I would check the documentation - not very useful if you can't verify a purchase automatically and quickly. If they don't offer that then I would switch providers just on this basis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
