    Hi All,

    Does anyone know how to automatically track bank transfer from online buyers ?
    Because we usually have to manually check our bank account to know whether the buyer already transfer their fund or not ?
    What technology or code should we use to do this ?
    So that when the customer already transfer, we can automatically know it, and then immediately send the stuff they buy.

    Thanks a lot.

    What you are asking has severe security implications - you will need to have access to your online bank account permanently open in a browser.
    Most banks close internet connections automatically after a period of inactivity - for security.
    Maybe you can simulate keypress or other activity - but I'd be surprised if your bank would allow this because you would then be interfering with a secure https connection.

    My suggestion would be to ask your bank if there is any way they could set up their system to automatically send you a text or email every time a payment arrives in your account.

    Many of the well established banks offer SMS service, means you get a message on your mobile phone when there is some activity on the bank account.
