All,

I am writing an e-commerce solution to be a sub-site within a community.
You have to log on to the community site and capture the following data and I therefore don't need to do the login bit. What would be the smartest way to capture the following and how soon is the version of "max" with the purchase without account feature coming out?

The requirements follow:
Merchant Partner identification of an a community client
1. A client will click through to a partner site from the community site
2. The "Identification Code" (community clientid in the following) will be passed via an HTTP query string using name value pairs. The URL may be determined by the partner

eg.
http://www.exampleonly.com.au?clientid=C00000123456
http://www.exampleonly.com.au?proces...d=M00000123456

The clientid 12 character field contains two field values:

Position Definition Range of Values
1 clienttype flag representing shoppers I (Independent Business Owner)
business type M (Member)
C (Client)

2-12 client ID number. 11 digits with 00000000001-99999999999
leading zeroes

The first field may be required by the partner store in future tailoring of their applications. Both fields are required to be reported to community head office with individual sales data.
