API Notifications Overview

Something here...

1. When a new event^a is generated in your merchant account a notification token is prepared and sent over https to your notification url
2. The notification request sent from the 1ShoppingCart API contains XML in the request body and holds the event type and token within its nodes
3. Parse the event type and token values from the XML then call the API wrapper method corresponding to the event type to retrieve the detailed information
4. The API wrapper will prepare the request to the 1ShoppingCart API and send the request over http
5. The API will parse out the merchant id, merchant key and token value from the request and prepare the requested data.
6. The API will send the prepared data back over https to the API wrapper
7. The API wrapper received the requested data back from the API as XML
8. The notification listener receives the XML data from the API wrapper where it can verify the success attribute of the response node
9. Add functionality to support your business processes. for example you can parse the ShippingInfo node and prepare shipping labels.
