A high volume order management system is disclosed. Order capture and order processing are separated in order to allow the maximum number of orders to be captured during a short period of time. An order capture system is integrated with each website on which the product is offered. The system is comprised of a number of pods which are further comprised of order capture web pages, business rules and modules designed to capture orders as quickly as possible while still preventing fraudulent orders and providing the shopper with an expectation of whether the purchase attempt was successful. Orders are collected in a file and are subsequently processed by a global ecommerce system.

Ecommerce high volume order management system and method

A half-graphical user interface (Half-GUI) order processing (HGOP) system with single sign on and its method of use is described. A set of web services may be utilized for order processing in an electronic commerce system which allows a merchant to host a product catalog and shopping cart, but post the transaction to an e-commerce system in one simple transaction. In response to a shopping cart request and utilizing single sign on technology, the HGOP system exposes a single checkout form, prepopulated with customer account information to a merchant web site. If no edits are required, the transaction posts and an order confirmation/thank you page is displayed. If edits are required or a new customer account is required, the customer's account is updated or created.

In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a set of web services is provided that allow a client application to display product information from a site catalog, add/update/delete those products into a shopping cart hosted on the client, and have that shopping cart also maintained at a central hosted site. As such, the user is directed to the central hosted site in order to complete payment and fulfillment of the order. Several companies desire this functionality. As such, a set of shopping cart application programming interface (API) can be built and used to access product information and prices as well as to add or remove products from the shopping cart to which the consumer will be redirected upon finalizing the purchase. These processes are conducted in real time.
