hook_customer_get_id($info)
ecommerce-5--4/docs/developer/hooks/ec_customer.php, line 76

Description

Return a customer which your Customer Type module handles. This may be a customer which e-Commerce has never seen before so you're looking in your external location.

Note: Modules which are ctype 'user' do not need to answer this hook - a workable default is provided by ec_customer_user.inc

Parameters

$info An array of data that resembles a customer object. It may contain and 'exid' which is the 'external id' of the customer - hence you'd look this up.

Return value

An array keyed on 'type' (ie your customer type) and 'exid' (your external id) if it's known.
