Cancelled Posted Nov 18, 2008 Paid on delivery

**1. PURPOSE:**

Jump To Green, Inc. has identified a need to add a significant number of product and service offerings to its existing online store. Jump To Green will do this by leveraging the Affiliate Marketing Programs of other online retailers, Affiliate Networks and Affiliate Brokers. However, an X-Cart module to facilitate this function is not currently available from X-Cart or third party vendors. Jump To Green plans to custom develop the X-Cart module which will be referred to as J2G Affiliate Connector.

**2. PRODUCT PERSPECTIVE:**

The J2G Affiliate Connector is a new, self-contained, modular product designed to extend the capabilities of the base X-Cart Gold version (or higher) eCommerce platform. It will extend Jump To Green’s product and service offerings by including those offered through Affiliate Marketing Programs. Jump To Green’s X-Cart platform ([url removed, login to view]) will serve as the primary data source for Affiliate Program and product information (all product information will be stored in X-Cart). If the product inventory is greater than zero, then the standard X-Cart processes will be used (i.e., the J2G Affiliate Connector is NOT invoked). However, if the product inventory is less than or equal to zero (<= 0), then the J2G Affiliate Connector is invoked. It will query Affiliate Marketing Programs , using SOAP or REST web services (i.e., Amazon, Ebay, LinkShare, etc.) for the product. If an Affiliate Merchants has the product, then a new browser window will be opened, redirecting the customer to the Affiliate Merchant (using the DetailURL node from the query returned XML object). The web service information (i.e., Amazon Web Services, Ebay, Commission Junction, etc.) will be stored in a X-Cart SQL table, making the process data-driven (i.e., new Affiliate Merchants can be added over time).
