API 101

Hello,

I am attempting to create my own API pages without a web contractor.

My question: I want to process a contribution; do I simply call the addContribution Method and it creates an order or must I precede with the GetCart method?

We'll start there and ask more questions later.

Many thanks,

Christian @ The Tech Museum

    Hi Christian!

    To add any item to a shopping cart, you need first to associate a user with a Tessitura session.  After the session has been authenticated, you may add items to the shopping cart and then proceed to the checkout process.  A sample series of API calls to complete an online contribution are listed below.  Let me know if you have any additional questions!

    Simple path to process an online contribution:

    - GetNewSessionKey

    - Login or Register

    - AddContribution

    - (optional) GetCart ( to confirm customer's donation )

    - Checkout
