I am starting to use 2CO but need help in setting up the process so that I will gather the customer's domain name and username preference info and then pass it on to the 2CO order page. In other words I want to be able to collect the customers domain info and then their info in the 2CO order page, all in one process.

I see that others have it set up (some with programs like Modernbill or WHMAutopilot) but I was wondering if it can be set up this way without one of those programs?

If so, could someone lend me a helping hand?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

There were other scripts that were free that allowed you to do this, but weren't necessarily compatible with 2CO. Do a search for something like "order system" or "billing system".

Also, does 2CO still have an API area you can look at?

You could modify one of the shopping carts out there on the web to use to gather the information you need, as well as pass the parameters needed onto 2checkout.

it depends which payment routine you're using...

with /sbuyers/ you can send it as part of the cart_order_id parameter, ie: cart_order_id=account-domain.com-username

then use some code, on your thank you page, to split that string and give you the 3 variables

that's sort of what we do, except we gather all the customers info to a temp file, pre payment, and use 1 parameter to grab it on the other side.

with /Abuyers/ I think you can pass extra parameters through which would make it a hell of a lot easier.
