FastSpring - How to integrate with FastSpring's New Contextual Storefront for a Regular Product

FastSpring's Contextual StoreFront uses webhooks to send order information to external services such as QLM. QLM 9.2+ can process FastSpring's webhook notification and create the required license keys based on the order.

Step 1 - Adding a webhook

• Login to the FP storefront
• On the toolbar, click Integration
• Click Webhooks
• Click "Add Webhook"
• Set the Title to "QLM"
• Set "Get webhooks from:" Live and Test Orders
• Click Add
• Click Add WebHook Url
• In the URL field, enter: https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/QlmWebHookHandler?is_vendor=fastspring&is_user=abc&is_pwd=def
• Update the URL above to point to your License Server. Update the credentials to match the credentials you defined in the QLM Management Console / Manage Keys / eCommerce Providers
• In the Events section, check "order.completed"
• Click Add

Step 2 - Product Configuration 

In order to create a license associated with a given product, you must add a FastSpring Fulfillment Action as described below:

• Select your Product in FastSpring
• In the Fulfillment section, click ADD FULFILLMENT
• Check the "Generate a License" radio button, select "Remote Server Request" then click Next
• In the URL field, enter: https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/GetActivationKey?is_vendor=fastspring&is_productid=1&is_majorversion=1&is_minorversion=0&is_qlmversion=5.0.00&is_user=abc&is_pwd=def&is_features=0:3&is_licensemodel=permanent
• Update the URL above as required to match your own server and product
• Set the Method to: HTTP POST
• Set the Encoding to: UTF-8
• Set the Output Format to: Single-Line License (Quantity Based)
• Click CREATE
• Next, click the Options dropdown in the top menu and select Custom Attributes.
• Set the KEY to: webhook_action
• Set the Value to: UpdateUserInformation
• Click Save

This completes the integration with FastSpring New Contextual Storefront. 

You can now place a test order and confirm that:

• A license key is properly created in QLM that matches the FastSpring order
• Customer Contact Information is automatically created in QLM.
• The email that's sent to the customer includes the License Key that was generated by QLM.

• In the URL field, enter: https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/RenewMaintenancePlan?is_vendor=fastspring&is_user=abc&is_pwd=def
• Update the URL above as required to match your own server and product
• Set the Method to: HTTP POST
• Set the Encoding to: UTF-8
