Remote order form and payment capture using API

[Sean Kimball]

I'm trying to setup a remote order form (on another domain) to capture recurring billing subscriptions & not quite sure the best way to go about it...

It appears that using the API I have to

• Create a new client (AddClient)
• Add a payment method for the new client (AddPayMethod )
• Create a new order for the new client (AddOrder)
• Accept that new order (AcceptOrder)

Then what?  At some point an invoice has to be generated and the payment captured (CapturePayment) I don't see anything that indicates if the invoice is automatically created when the order is created or accepted.
What is the actual sequence of events that needs to happen here?

 

**OR**

Is it possible to skip all that and create a custom branded template just for that particular subscription item and embed that (iFrame or something) in the remote site?

-thanks

Per the AddOrder docs, if you pass noinvoice as true it will not generate an invoice and so if it is not passed it will generate an invoice.    As such to get the invoice paid, after AddOrder, you would use CapturePayment and pass the invoice id given in AddOrder's result.   Then if that succeeds, then you do AcceptOrder.
