1. Has anyone have any complaints or loss of sales because of Revecom's fixed order interface?

2. Is there any *secure* way using Revecom to have it go to a link when the order was successful? In otherwords... Go to http://domain.com/successful but if just anyone tries to go to this link it does not work? Purpose behind this is instant account activation...

Thanks in advance,

Neofree

Well, you could put a valid referrers .htaccess in that dir I suppose and only take tings coming from Revecom, and deny everything else, though I'm not sure that is exactly fool proof. Or something that passes certain variables off, but again, not entirely foolproof and I personally wouldn't know how exactly to implement it.

Are you referring to HTTP Refers? I did think of that once but that can be spoofed, say a person goes to revecom.com and then visits the final ordering page, the browser will send the referer as revecom and the processing page might process the order.

2checkout and revecom arent good to process instant account activation, 2checkout can be spoofed by getting the cart_order_id once at the order page and sending that id to the final processing page and revecom as far as i know doesnt offer custom variables (I could be wrong) and if you follow the referer way someone might be able to get your orders processed.

Your best bet is to just process the orders manually when you receive them.
