I try to implement INS on my site. I try to pass my value with standard variable “vendor_order_id” through my form, but it goes to unknown params every transaction I process. And I recieve an empty value every time. Could you help me?

This parameter will show in the Unknown Parameters section of the sale detail page as it is not a standard parameter.
I will report this issue to our developers regarding the value not being passed back with your INS message.

well, any updates here ? after about 6 hours of working at this, I read this post and I know that the vendor_order_id will come empty anyway so why its included and why its written in documentation that it can hold the value I pass in it?!!!????
how can I connect the notification I get to some order already created at my website!? there is simply no way or should I rely on the payment email address which is something very unreliable, can somebody answer me please ?

Our developers are still addressing the issue with the vendor_order_id parameter. We will update this post as soon as the issue has been resolved. In the mean time you may use the sale_id parameter(2Checkout order number) to identify the customers order on INS posts.

Hi Craig,
Sorry but how! Sale_id is a number generated by 2CO upon payment, say “Thomas” went to my site to buy a golden membership, he registered and now he needs to pay, after he pays I will activate his account through my script, so, when he registered, my script gave him an id of “123456″, now I need the INS to tell my script that record with id “123456″ should be updated to make the user enabled!!, but if I get your Sale_id what can I do with it, my script already doesn’t know the sale_id! if I’m missing something please clarify..Thank you!!

Your script would have to update your database with the order_number from the initial approved url pass back (not the INS order created POST)when a sale is created. This pass back will also include the cart_order_id which is the sale identifier your site uses.
