Re: [MV set-up] Moving Orders from Minivend to "Prism"

[Kyle Hayes <kyle540@quicknet.net>]

I have a SQL script inside the checkout profile part of the checkout page.
That puts the order information into a database.  You could just as easily
put a chunk of Perl (or a UserTag/GlobalSub) there that does the same
thing.

Best,
Kyle
