Thanks for the kind words Dave. The project involved using WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions.
WooCommerce Subscriptions has numerous hooks that we could tie into everything depending on the event (e.g. Person activates a subscription) and CURL was used to pass that information to the LiveCode scripts. It was a bit of a process to get the necessary fields. There are a couple of ways to integrate LiveCode and WordPress (interact with content from WordPress), it just depends on what you are wanting to do. E.g. WordPress has the WP Rest API (https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API). That is probably one of the better options if you want LiveCode to interact with WordPress. WooCommerce also has its own API aswell. If you want WordPress to interact with LiveCode you have a good number of options aswell. We created a simple LiveCode script that data could get posted to via CURL. There are other options - some of them depend on the PHP/hosting settings and curl is what worked best.
