Remote Interaction with Oscommerce Shopping Cart

[catch2948]

I have a site in which I promote affiliate products ... After having a conversation with the Affiliate Manager of the program, he told me that if I could come up with a way to get my shopping cart to interact with his, then I could take orders on my site, then at checkout, pass the order itself over to his cart for processing ... SAves an extra "click" by the customer ...

Is there any such way to remotely interact with the Oscommerce Cart?

As always, thanks in advance for your replies :-)

Is your site or their site osCommerce?

The short answer is yes.

You either need to use a direct access to the database (I assume that's what the products are in) or use some form of distributed data access/exchange (WDDX/SOAP/RPC). Which technology to use is dependant upon what data, the form it's in, security issues, and server specs.
