Magento

We have started to integrate Magento with our own retail-system so that all orders done in Magento can be imported into our application. We’ve done this with OsCommerce/ZenCart, then by just calling a php-script in OsC/ZC which fetch all orders with the status Pending, exports them to an XML-file which we import in our system, and then it changes the status to Processing (so that it isnt imported any more).

We could do this pretty easy with Magento as well but we would _really_ like to solve this by using a more generic OrderExport-routine like contacting Magento WebService or something to export and update these orders. Has anyone done this or got any clue what would be the best way to solve it?

Preciate any answers!

Hi Affi,

Would you mind sharing the code you used to export the orders to XML? 

I’m trying to write a script to migrate orders from a 3rd party store into Magento, but I’m getting stuck on how to build the store/order object.

Thanks,
Andy

Our PHP-script for exporting the orders to XML is written for OsCommerce/ZenCart, not Magento yet. And we’d like to _not_ be needing to do it in Magento, as asked in the first post.

Got it, thanks for your reply!

Any feedback on the first post in this thread would be much preciated. Maybe Varien has some more information?

Look the Magento API here :

With Magento 1.1 it will be easy to do what you want

Yep got it earlier today (RSS rules)
