Introduction
UltraCart offers a SOAP interface to the Checkout process. Admittedly, it's not well documented. There aren't many merchants currently using it.
The functionality of it is nearly identical to the Javascript API, in terms of methods and objects, so please cross-reference the Javascript API docs for insight.
