General services

In the following an order generator is described, with whose assistance automatized orders can be generated in the shop. The orders are placed via XML data.

The transfer of the order/XML data may take place by way of two methods:

Method 1: manual

The XML data are uploaded to a web application via an XML file and are ultimately processed. The web application here is operated manually. The XML file has a set name "orders.xml".

The transfer (uploading) of the file takes place with SSL encryption.

Users of this application must log-in to the shop beforehand and must have authorization for the order generator. The authorization (flag in the customer base) is assigned by the shop operator over the WEBSALE AG service area or by customer data import interface.

In the XML file a maximum of 1000 orders can be transferred at once.

Transfer of the data per XML file upload:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Orders>
  <Order>
    ... Data of the 1st Order ...
  </Order>
  <Order>
    ... Data of the 2nd Order ...
  </Order>
  <Order>
    ... Data of the 3rd Order ...
  </Order>
    ...
  <Order>
    ... Data of the 1000th Order (maximum number) ...
  </Order>
</Orders>

Method 2: automated

The XML data are Blowfish-encrypted and sent without a web application directly to the shop. In each case exactly one order can be given. The shop returns the results of the processing via XML response.

Transfer of XML data with Blowfish encryption:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Order>
  ... Order Data ...
</Order>

Range of functions

The XML order generator does not support all functions that are offered in shop, but only the functions described below. In particular, only offline payment methods can be used or online payment methods without client authentication (credit card clearing server-to-server and ELV). Payment methods such as PayPal or Direct Debit are not possible, since client authentication must occur here over the browser. With a successful order, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the given e-mail address.

Sign-in and guest orders

The XML interface can be used for both existing users (with sign-in) and guest users (without sign-in).

Content of the XML data

Optional parameters can be given empty or can be completely omitted.

In this case the complete set with all set sub articles must be stated. It is not possible to use CvarIndex-X-sections and Child-section within a set. In this case the following data will be transferred: `<PIndex>...</PIndex>`: Product Index of the Set Upper Article `<PVarIndex>...</PVarIndex>`: Variation Index of the Set Upper Article `<CVarIndex-X>...</CVarIndex-X>`: Variation Index of the X^th Set Sub Article

Get method and blowfish method

The 16-digit password is directly used as the key.

The message to be encrypted is "filled in" by a multiple of 8 bytes (best with null bytes) and the message is encrypted in 8 byte blocks with the OpenSSL Blowfish ECB Function.

The shop is accessed via HTTP. The data are transferred via Get method. A maximum of 8,000 characters are given in the request.

Log-in with e-mail address

Here you may transfer an e-mail address that exists in the shop databank. The shop databank then automatically loads all user data (billing address, optional alternative delivery address, user settings, etc.)

The e-mail address is transferred as Blowfish-encrypted and hex-coded.

http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&email=<verschlüsselte eMail- Adresse>&orderdata=<encrypted XML data>

Example:
http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&email=02ccff2233...&orderdata=1122ccffab...

Sign-in with UserIndex

A UserIndex can be given as an alternative to an e-mail address. The shop then automatically loads all the user's data (billing address, optional delivery address, user settings, etc.).

The e-mail address is transferred as Blowfish-encrypted and hex-coded.

http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&userindex=<verschlüsselter UserIndex>&orderdata=<encrypted XML data>

Example:
http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&userindex=02ccff2233...&orderdata=1122ccffab...

Guest order

In a guest order neither an e-mail address, nor a UserIndex is given. The transfer of a billing address is obligatory. Within the billing address the e-mail address is given.

http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&orderdata=<encrypted XML data>

Example:
http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&orderdata=1122ccffab...

orderdata

This parameter is required. Here the XML data are also transferred as Blowfish-encrypted and hex-coded.

Please take note:

The external system first administers Blowfish encryption and afterwards a hex coding of the encrypted binary data. Then the hex coded data is sent to the shop.

Example:
http://<Shop-URL>&act=autoorder&userid=02ccff2233...&orderdata=1122ccffab...

An order will only be generated when all transferred data are correct. The following checks are performed by the order generator, among others:

If the given product number/SetID exists and if the inventory is sufficient.
If the given normal variations are correct
If defined minimum order quantities are met and if defined maximum order quantities are not surpassed.
If defined denominations are correctly given.
If all required fields of the address data and the method of payment are present.
With online clearing: If the payment with credit card or direct debit are carried out electronically.
If the method of payment “cash on delivery” is given in a reseller surcharge
Etc …

With the status "OK" the order is successfully generated.

With the status "ERROR", the order could not be generated. Additionally, an error code will be given.
