As most Kagi suppliers will know, they have now been moved over to a
new data reporting format (which they have been phasing in over last
the few months).  I have noticed that an old problem still exists
(among many).

If a customer purchases your product multiple times, your ACG (code
generation script) gets called multiple times.  Unfortunately Kagi
stuff all the results into one tiny field rather than breaking out
multiple rows.  So the registrationName field now has "Joe Public
Joe Public   Joe Public" and the registrationCode has "1234-ABCD
5678-EFGH   9012-IJKL".  You get the idea.  Rather than analysing the
reports, I have to look at regular expressions.  In fact, they also
manage to mangle up the TFYP emails in such multiple orders, with
customers quite confused.

Interested to know how many Kagi suppliers have experienced this and
have also raised this issue over the years.  I have.  Yet still
nothing gets fixed.  Not to mention they still mangle the
registrationName, so if you're in Japan, your name could end up being
**** because foreign character sets aren't handled properly.

This is not to knock Kagi, as every payment processor has their
problems, but I think suppliers have been quite patient.  If a group
of us got together and highlighted the main improvements we would like
Kagi to focus on, do you think they would listen?
