First validate, then run an algorithm and email an activation key to the customer

[[email protected]]

I'm brand new, and I've been looking for a module out there/in here that can provide the last three events in the following customer payment process:

 

1) perform all the standard payment validation (part of initial installation),

2) initiate the money transfer (part of initial installation),

3) run a script to generate/calculate an activation key (new),

4) register the same activation key in the db (new), and

5) send an email to the buyer with the activation key (new).

 

Any responses will be appreciated

 

Regards

Claus

I don't know of any contributions for this. My guess is that you're going to have to either code it yourself or hire someone to do so. However, I'm really unclear as to the purpose this activation key would serve. Perhaps if you explained, someone might know of a contribution that does the same thing, or can be fairly easily modified to serve your purpose.

Okay, here goes:

 

We have made a software package that will be downloadable in a limited version (not activated) by everybody from our webpage. However in order to get to the really good algorithms a customer would have to acquire a customized activation key that - in cryptographic form - holds a combination of his username, his customer ID and the expiry date for the license. So, when his credit card payment has been validated we want to generate this specific activiation key, store it on his personal file and send it to his email account. We have all the bits and pieces running offline already - we just need to hook it up to the pre-seeding validation of the payment. Doesn't this happen many times every day in other companies ?

While I'm sure that someone, somewhere, has modified osc to do this, they sadly haven't made it available to the rest of us (unless someone knows a contribution that will prove me wrong, of course). Osc doesn't seem to have that many software sellers, for whatever reason, so there isn't that high a demand.

 

Assuming that the code you already have is compatible with osc, I think all you would really need to do would be to call it in checkout_process, send the results into the database, and include the resulting key in the customer email. That's not too difficult, depending on how much php you know. Might get tricky in making sure you have the payment before they get the activation code, but I don't use any of the online payment gateways, so I'm not intimately familiar with them.
