Big problem we're facing right now is that Magento have no core API for managing orders. Is it not possible also to set up any SSO solution to avoid Drupal / Magento double login. Any ideas or suggestions ?
We're actually planning to write some modules for Magento, but if you have quicker solution, ... :)

Core API
The core API does have Order, Shipment, and Invoice calls. You can find the documentation starting here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/doc/webservices-api/api#order_api
Is there something specific you think it missing from those functions?
Hi all update on this thread
Hi all !
So
@gamaroso :
Yes the main problem is that it is impossible to create new orders trough the API calls. It is possible to cancel, list or retrieve details about an order but not to create new orders. What we're doing right now is following :
- create a session for a givven user and get it back in Drupal
- add/remove items to the cart and retrieve cart's price
- create an order from the cart
- retrieve all available data about paiement gateway and provide those data inside a drupal hook. This last point is the most tricky, the idea is that we'll need to port any new paiement gateway created on magento to it's Drupal version. But I see no other way.... Any ideas ?
So our goal is to switch off totally Magento's Front office, keeping whole power of magento's back (Promotions, catalogue & stocks management). From installation point of view users will have to follow these steps :
There will be, for sure some latency because of adding an extra layer between the end-user and magento, but in fact it should be ok as global load on magento server will be much lighter, as main charge will be supported by Drupal side.
I'll keep you informed. We should publish everything near June or July.

Did you implement "sales_order.create" custom API?

We need the same custom API? Did you implement it and would like to share?
Pls, let me know how you'd like to provide this solution.

Hi Yann,
Thanks for your reply. We're working on a project and we need to create orders in Magento from another application. And there will be other development services as well.
Pls, send proposal for development services. Do you work via www.elance.com or www.rentacoder.com?

Just searched Magento forum
Just searched Magento forum and found the following forum http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewchild/14658/. Probably you can find the solution here. This is a discussion board of free extension which is Drupal CMS full integration (http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/1020/drupal)

Just wondering where we stand with this project and moving forward?
