[ic] Order Route Question

[Bill Carr]

Does each order route have to complete before the client sees the  
receipt page? I am adding a route that posts the order information to  
an external POS system via a web gateway. Posting the order is slow  
and I do not want to annoy the consumer. I would like to post the  
orders to the third party system "as they happen" but I don't want to  
slow down the checkout process from the end user's perspective.

Using the IC order Route system seems like a neat and clean way to  
handle this. I could always just put the code on the receipt page. I'm  
don't know about the order, as in sequence, of operations at place  
order time.

Any thoughts?
