The ‘vendor_order_id’ INS parameter is passed whenever messages are sent to your INS script. Keep in mind, the INS ‘vendor_order_id’ parameter is set by passing in the ‘merchant_order_id’ parameter when creating a sale.

It’s been a year since this was first raised. I notice that the latest INS documentation says the vendor_order_id will be passed through. I’d like to make sure that this has been sorted before spending hours wrestling with it.

Can anyone confirm if this issue has been resolved?

Thanks

Pete

Great suggestions again Craig, We just released our INS testing feature which can currently be used in the new vendor admin area. We have created a new tab titled “Notifications” where along with the ability to send a test message, you can view a log of your successfully sent INS messages and your INS messages which failed. You can also resend any message if your system did not properly collect the date.

I would like to also suggest we get check as a method in test mode. For INS, it should then give an option in the vendor admin to mark it as fail or pass for credit card test orders and deposited or failed for check orders.

islandhopper8 - If you are placing live sales and not receiving INS posts to your script please open a ticket with our technical support department. Be sure to include your vendor ID number and we will assist you further.

Yea, I have the same issue. I have tried several times to do a live “demo” purchase, however nothing seems to happen. I have set up my page to report any request that has been made to it. It will email me all the parameters, but nothing happened after I did a purchase. It is really slowing down the development of your site. You want to properly test all the different options that can trigger the INS. So that you know you have covered all the options in your script. Please make implementing a DEMO INS your priority.

At this time we do not have an ETA for the ability to pass an INS URL dynamically or for a testing feature that does not require any live sales. When we have more information regarding the release date of either feature we will update this post.

Ah, so neither have been implemented yet.

Can you find out how far they are up the development queue and when we expect implementation? INS tests are important when testing an integration without doing live transactions and refunding and INS URLs being passed dynamically is important to make setup easier.

INS urls cannot be passed into the purchase routine dynamically and no new testing feature has been implemented yet. Currently you can test the INS by placing a live order (under $5) and canceling it immediatly so that no transaction fees are charged. This testing method will allow you to receive Order Created, Shipping Status Changed, Refund Issued and Recurring Stopped INS messages.

Has the ability to have test INS or the ability to pass INS in form posts to your server been implemented yet?
