Ecwid Notification Script

ReadMe.txt

This is the script I am using to construct custom order notifications using the Ecommerce platform Ecwid.

CustomNotification.php

<?php

//Store specific variables for the URL
$secretKey = "YourSecretKey";
$storeId = YourNumericalStoreId;

//This is declaring variables for the notification mail function
$subject = "Notification Subject";
$mailheader = "From: someone@yourwebpage.com \r\n";

//This will save the unique order ID in a variable to construct the URL for the JSON request
$newOrderNumber = $_POST['order_id'];

//This will send a request to return this specific order's detailed information as JSON
$thisOrder = GetJsonFeed("https://app.ecwid.com/api/v1/".$storeId."/orders?secure_auth_key=".$secretKey."&order=".$newOrderNumber);

//These variables access the parsed JSON stored in $thisOrder. To look for more variables, add in Ecwid's identifier in the last [''].
$custEmail = $thisOrder['orders'][0]['customerEmail'];
$custFirstName = $thisOrder['orders'][0]['customerName'];

//The message sent out in the email. You can use any information stored in $thisOrder.        
$message = "
Dear $custFirstName,

Your order number is $newOrderNumber.

Let us know if you have any questions!";

//Sends the custom notification to the customer      
mail($custEmail, $subject, $message, $mailheader) or die("Error!");


//Helper Function to deal with the JSON
function GetJsonFeed($url)
{
    $response = file_get_contents($url);
    return json_decode($response, true);
}

?>

Ohhhhh damn, this gist totally just saved my bacon.
