Testing using Poster firefox plugin

I am trying to get familiar with how we would use CG and am using the Poster Firefox plugin to work the API.
I create a free plan and added a tracked item to with with an overcharge of $1.
I am POSTing to:

https://cheddargetter.com/xml/customers/remove-item-quantity/produc...

I get a valid XML response back and then I try & see an impact on the customers pending invoice. As yet, I cannot see anything appear on the invoice in question?

Our account is still in the Testing status and we don't have a payment gateway set up, but should I still see transactions appear on the pending invoice?

Thanks.

   jmp -- It looks like you've got it figured out judging from the invoice of your one test customer. Got any more questions?

   Actually I hand edited that invoice entry. None of the POST I did
   showed up on the invoice

   I can't add any more comments to the discussions since the item has
   been closed for comments

   thx,

   To add more detail, I POST the above & get back the XML that is attached. I still don't see any line items show up on the invoice. Thanks for any additional help you can provide

   OK I htink I am on the track now. I need to add-item-quantity not remove-item-quantity, that is my first mistake.

   and it seems I have to send params as application/x-www-form-urlencoded in the POST body, not as URL params

   So I think I am OK now, I can see the POSTd items appearing on the invoice.

   I see, well, for starters, you are using the customers/remove-item-quantity method. That's weird unless you want to remove items. Also, unless you provide quantity as a post var, the default will be to add one (1) to the customer's current quantity. Even though you may be using Poster to post, the quantity var must be in the POST params. Judging solely by the URL you've sent, the quantity is being sent as GET with an empty POST.
