Website integration

Hi everyone. I'm reasonably new to Salesforce but want to move quickly with integration with our website.

We're running an eCommerce site and hope to use the principle behind the web-to-lead functionality to process training and event registrations. At the simplest level, the process would be:

> User selects product to purchase (training course), which has a unique code and name generated on our website.

> User enters their (the purchaser's) details and those of attending. The purchaser may or may not be an attendee.

> User receives a discount if a they enter a valid code. The code is validated based on a lookup of two existing fields on the Account object in Salesforce.

>The purchaser and product details are passed to a payment gateway, processed and a transaction number captured in a custom field in Salesforce. All details, including the product code and gateway transaction reference number, are captured as an opportunity won, with the attendee details also populating a cusom object (this object will manage participants attending training courses with relationships to the Account, Contact and Opportunity objects).

 

Does anyone have any experience in implementing such a system? All experiences and suggestions will be much appreciated.

It sounds like you will want to use salesforce Web Services API to integrate the data and process you mentioned.

Here is some helpful documentation  including sample API toolkits for PHP, Java, .NET, ect.
