Anyone use NATS to power Rebilling Physical Shipment Orders? - GoFuckYourself.com

Was wondering if anyone is using NATS for recurring shipment product sites.

If so, what are the best ways to push shipment daily monthly, and tie it to the order IDs etc?

If anyone knows or could point me in the right direction, would be great

The easiest way I can think of doing this would be to abuse the "Approval Post", and the "Rebill Post" urls set for each site under Site Admin -> Site -> Edit Site. Read what's sent to it on $_REQUEST, and if possible, match up with the data in the member's table. Then, you can have it fire off an email to your shipping department each time it's rebilled, and they can handle each transaction as an initial sale, as most simple gateways do.

The memberidx (subscription id), and all information related should be posted in the $_REQUEST, but it can, and does vary between NATS revisions, so check to see what you have available, and fill the rest in with a WHERE SQL clause.

I have actually thought about pushing data like that, but I wondered if anyone had a proper full suite plugin already

ie, we have Dazzle for Puremeds old system but its going to have to be ported for NATS use

I'm afraid I don't know of anyone who has written anything. Obviously, you'd want to make it more robust in the long term.

Good luck!
