Thanks Lukas --

Do you then get some sort of email back to the registered address (e.g. 
esug-info at esug.org in the above code) that indicates a payment was made?
If that's the case, I guess an order-id could be placed somewhere in the 
info above that could be used to figure out the order when multiple 
orders come in for different people at about the same time.
