Installation Snippet

The Cartmojo installation snippet is used to capture shopping cart data in real-time. Apps and workflows depend on this code to be present at all times in order to work properly.

More Information

Processing Times

  • All new order data is processed in real-time through standard web checkout.

  • Phone or manual orders are processed on 15-minute intervals.

Order Update Times

  • Our systems poll your store’s API at a set interval i.e. every 4, 6, 8 hours, etc. At that time, we filter through each record in our system and look for any order status change.

  • By default, we check for order status changes every 10 hours.

Order Monitoring

  • Before an order status is Shipped, each order status is monitored for 60 days. After an order is Shipped, our systems continue to monitor the order for 30 days.

Bandwidth Usage

Because of the way 3dCart's API is designed, we must poll your store’s API periodically to check for order updates. Although unlikely, this could result in increased bandwidth usage. How much usage is dependent on your store’s order volume.

Valid SSL Required

  • If a store lacks a valid SSL certificate, we are unable to process any order information

  • If an SSL expires on your domain, Cartmojo apps and workflows will not function

  • An SSL can be purchased from the shopping cart provider or any 3rd party SSL vendor

  • Installation of an SSL will need to be facilitated with your shopping cart provider

Localization

  • All major currencies are supported

  • All global time zones are supported

Limitations

Platform

  • An order must be placed through the standard web checkout before any phone or manual orders will process.

  • Product option images are not available through the API. Therefore, the default product image will be used in workflow messages.

Messaging

  • Abandoned cart workflows are currently not supported.
