Yahoo Real-Time Link & MOM

We use the Yahoo! real-time link with MOM. This is supposed to be a relatively easy setup in MOM and it is--when you see the set up materials. However, you will find out really fast that importing orders from Yahoo! into MOM isn't that easy. You will need a secure site with SSL certificate and it must be able to handle .asp files. There is a lot to this setup that you have to figure out on your own. Of course, MOM either cannot or will not walk you through this process because they will only support their product. I could have never gotten this set up by myself. Luckily, I have a friend who is a professional IT guy and he helped us set it all up. Even now some data will not migrate into MOM like gift wrapping and customer messages. It sure beats manual uploads of orders, though.
