affiliate asks buyer cart changed coding common countries current data development feature fee important info information integration ipn item notification number option options order paypal plugin price process product products rate request sale send service setting share shipping support supporting tax team track url user value

ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION

Hi, yesterday I talked to my accountant (french tax laws are awesome :( )

So the request is :

Plugin, in order to simplify management uses mostly common notification URL to receive data from e-junkie, but there is some tax info missing in the ITEM SPECIFIC section :

current data :

Item Specific IPN Data
Here, X represents the position of each item in the buyer's cart:

item_nameX
item_numberX - item number you have set in product configuration
quantityX - quantity sold
mc_gross_X - sale price for this product * quantity sold
option_name1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's name
option_selection1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's value that buyer selected
option_name2_X
option_selection2_X
option_name3_X
option_selection3_X


needs to be :

Item Specific IPN Data
Here, X represents the position of each item in the buyer's cart:

item_nameX
item_numberX - item number you have set in product configuration
quantityX - quantity sold
mc_gross_X - sale price for this product * quantity sold

tax_X - tax amount for this product * quantity sold (some products may have different tax rate) and in some countries (france) this information is a must on the bill sheet

option_name1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's name
option_selection1_X - (if applicable) if you are using any options with your products, then this will contain first option's value that buyer selected
option_name2_X
option_selection2_X
option_name3_X
option_selection3_X

also, it would be so genius to include :

affiliate_fee_X into the data sent to common notification URL - thus the final user would skip the whole process of setting up Product specific notification URLs just to track the affiliate share.

I do understand this request asks more coding from the e-junkie team, but I'm also sure this kind of amelioration of the data send would improve your service quality.

thanks guys

Serge, just letting you know I've asked Development to consider your concerns and requests re: IPN/Integration variables.

Offhand, I'm not sure if we pass an item-specific tax breakdown to PayPal that they would pass back to us in IPN, which we would then passthru to Integration URLs, vs. if we only pass them a lump-sum tax. This may actually have changed recently now that we support their tax/shipping recalculation feature. Also, since affiliate shares are all calculated as item-specific now, it seems reasonable to include those in our Integration POSTs if feasible.

Thanks for supporting me on that, I stay tuned.

The affiliate_fee_X would be really greate!
