Standard Scheme
Description
This trading scheme can be used to place orders on multiple products at once. When placing an order, the partner must pass the unique order number and a list of order lines as input parameters. Each line needs to contain a part number of the ordered item, desired quantity, and order line number (which is also unique compared to all user's order lines in the MONT system). We recommend the following approach to generating order numbers: Assume an order has been placed in the partner's system for 2 products: abc-11111 and 6qr-00006. The system assigned a unique number to the order, for example KEYS-00004280. In this case, when the order is placed in the MONT system, the partner's number is used as it exists in the system (KEYS-00004280), and KEYS-00004280-N number is assigned to each line where N is order line sequential number.
When designing their proprietary system, the partner needs to remember that keys/links/files ordered via ESD cannot be returned and an order cannot be canceled after placement. Therefore, we recommend that you place an order in the MONT system only after the end users effects a payment. The need to follow this recommendation depends on the partner's business processes.

Integration procedure
Partner integration with MONT services comprises two steps:
- Development, debugging and testing in the test system
- Launch in the production system
Obtaining test access
All MONT services are available in both production and test (sandbox) environments. To ensure system integrity, partners can work in the sandbox only during the development stage. To obtain access (user name and password), send a message to webstore_support@mont.com with the subject 'Test access for auto-placement of orders'. The reply will contain test user name and password.
Transfer to production platform
When the partner believes that integration is completed on their side and they are ready to switch to production mode, they need to test integration. Integration testing procedure is described for each module (and included in service description) and can sometimes be modified (for example, if the partner integrates with eKey, but will only buy keys for Microsoft Office). After testing is successfully completed, the partner is provided with a user name in the production system. To receive a user name, send a message to webstore_support@mont.com. If you have questions or something is out of order during or after integration, you can send a message to webstore_support@mont.com.
