Can We Import Orders From Emails Sent From Our Web Site?

We receive emails from our oscommerce website site, Amazon and google. Can an import be setup to import from several different emails directly into the orders module?

By all means yes, we would need to analyze the format of the incoming emails. Then we can use a plug-in such as the 360Works email plug-in to automatically download the emails into the database, parse the information within the email and then create the order records. One thing we will need to be sure to keep an eye on. Occasionally, both Google and Amazon may change the way the emails are formatted. If this happens, we will need to tweak the script to bring the messages in and parse them correctly.
