I'm looking at Potion Store, and have a couple questions:

1) Is there support for sending notifications (e.g. via HTTP) of
orders as they happen? I'd be interested in including PS orders in a
centralized order database, and such a mechanism would keep the
central order db up to date.

2) What does the schema of PS's own order database look like?

Thanks,

No, but you could consider making one yourself if you really need it.
PS must has to wait for the payment provider to return an API
notification response, before it can record the order number and mark
the order as completed 'C'. This happens in the notifications
controller. I you could add some external hook, or after filter or
something (sorry but i don't know very much about controllers). Maybe
a new controller file and put it in a rails - engine plugin?

Jim, I've mailed an example database (.sql file) to you off-list.
