EDI questions

First of all I hope this is the correct forum to post this in, I did not see a forum specifically for programming questions.

Currently my site is set up and working fine. I have created a desktop application (C#) which I can forward customers orders to my warehouse via a .dat file, this is becoming cumbersome as we are getting busier and busier each day. This file basically says what to ship and where to ship it to, plus what type of shipping method to use.

I would like automate this as soon as my customers pay... So when a customer makes a payment, immediately a file should be created containing billing, shipping, and order information.

I've been poking around in the includes/classes/ folder trying to figure out which file is presented after the order has been fully paid for, because at this point I want to send the order file to the warehouse.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

admin/orders.php can capture when paid

Automation of processing can proceed from there

I would say you want to hook into /includes/classes/order.php, as this runs every time an order is placed. It already sends order info and e-mails to various places, and you should be able to add what you need building on the examples there.

Take a look at the "Send SMS on new order" plugin for an example of hooking into the completed order process.
