I would recomend them sending it back as an xml file..so if they are
using cf on thier side something like

<cfsavecontent var="variables.order">
<Orders>
<affiliate>
<id>2</id>
<name>Joes Bar</name>
</affiliate>
<order>
<id>1</id>
<name> Bob Smith </name>
<orderitem>
<sku>155</sku>
<qty>2</qty>
</orderitem>
<orderitem>
<sku>445</sku>
<qty>1</qty>
</orderitem>
<shipping>UPS</shipping>
</order>
<order>
<id>2</id>
<name>John Doe</name>
<orderitem>
<sku>112</sku>
<qty>1</qty>
</orderitem>
<orderitem>
<sku>422</sku>
<qty>1</qty>
</orderitem>
<shipping>USPS</shipping>
</order>
</orders>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfinvoke webservice="#request.url#" method="postOrder"
username="#application.username#" password="#application.password#">
<cfinvokeargument name="OrderXml" value="#variables.order#"/>
</cfinvoke>
