Alain And this is the xml file")* Hi, You should use the loadFullOrder method instead of the get method on class.order. That way, you'll get all the data of the order including the user data in $order->customer and the products in $order->products Loading the cart data there is risky as the current cart might not correspond to the current order. For example, if the "clean cart when order is" setting of the HikaShop configuration is set to "created" instead of "confirmed", the cart will be deleted before reaching your code and it won't work. The page [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...umentation.html#code](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#code) actually has some sample codes including some code to load the data of an order and loop through its products.

Alain And this is the xml file")* Hello....thanks for your feedback. Greatly appreciated. I wish I had changed from Virtuemart to Hikashop much earlier! Following your suggestions, I ended up with the code below. 1. That's better now? 2. I assume that the order_id in &$order is the same order id as from loadFullOrder? 3. And can I just double-check that onAfterOrderUpdate is only being called after payment? I copied the if($FullOrder->order_status == $confirmed){ from somewhere....but I am just guessing that it may be needed in case a payment is not successful?

Alain And this is the xml file")* Hi, 1. That's better. 2. Yes. 3. You're raising a good point here. onAfterOrderUpdate is called each time an order is changed. So no only when an order's status changes to confirmed. So you need to improve your check to something like that: Code: if(!empty($order->order_status) && $order->order_status == $confirmed && $order->old->order_status != $confirmed){ ... } That way, you'll be sure the code inside will only run when the order's status is being changed, and only when it's changed from something which isn't confirmed to confirmed. Also, you might want to add a check like this, especially if you plan on releasing this plugin to others or if you plan on using HikaMarket in the future: Code: if($order->old->order_type!='sale') return; HikaMarket will create sub sales (one sub order for each vendor of an order) with a different order_type than "sale". And you likely want to ignore these sub sales with that extra check.
