I am trying to get the customer's name, email, and order number to pass to a payment gateway once the customer hits the place order button. So far I have managed to get the total using 

$total = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal();

I tried using 

Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();

$email = $customer->getEmail();  

$firstname = $customer->getFirstname(); 

$lastname= $customer->getLastname();

but they don't seem to return a value. I know this because I echo the variables after, and none of them work but the $total. Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • i think you should use some query to fetch the last order by current user after the order button hit , because i think the order number is generated after gets the entry in database or you can use the query on success page where you can get the order number also – Rohit Goel Jan 30 '13 at 06:05
  • thanks for the response but I need it the details before I get to the success page, to post it to the payment gateway – Eric Semwenda Jan 30 '13 at 06:08
  • than i think you can place the query on that same page right after the button hits , right now which value is submitting to gateway at the time of hit ? – Rohit Goel Jan 30 '13 at 06:13

The best way to do this is to create a Custom Payment Gateway module.
