When processing pre-authorizations through eStore Advantage, the payment information is saved in Nodus-specific tables. No payment lines are created for the associated order or invoice. When shipping department is ready to fulfill the order they use Nodus’ Credit Card Advantage to charge the credit card. This automatically creates the payment line and sets the amount received.

Is it possible to migrate from Microsoft eCommerce to eStore Advantage?

YES! Microsoft eCommerce uses a disconnected model, where Front and Back Offices are kept in-sync through Business Document Exchange (BDX) messaging. By replacing the BDX components with Nodus Web Service, and modifying Front Office Commerce Server pipeline to use eStore Business Objects, we can provide the same integration using Nodus’ eStore Advantage and Microsoft eConnect.
