Any help about SOAP web services?

:frusty:

Thrown my head all over google and this forum..but couldn't find a solution (not even a hint).

I am new to zen cart, I need to update the order status of an order using SOAP. Did it in magento with ease. But couldn't find the same for zen cart.

Any idea how to do it??? :yes::yes:

Mind if I ask

  1. Why SOAP ?
  2. What is the actual problem you are attempting to solve?

My knowledge of SOAP is minimal, but from the little I do know, it is probably an overkill for what you are wanting to do, which I assume is to simply update the order status flag from (say) 'pending' to 'completed' via some external mechanism? (is that correct?).
If this was a mod that I was hired to develop I'd probably use nothing more than a PHP script. However, without knowing your technical requirements it is hard to say if this would be a suitable method or not.

Modifying the zencart database via a PHP script is not difficult, and although created for totally different reasons, and using different tables, if you take a look at the code used in the automatic currency updates module http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=286 you should be able to get a few ideas as to how to go about this. It, like your requirment is essentially a 'standalone' script that interfaces directly with the zencart database.

Hope this helps,
