Hello, and thanx for a totally great shoppingsolution! I love it!
Now to my question..
I have "developed" my own way of getting the costumers to pay me, and a way for me to know who has paid for what product - Simply posting the Order ID out to the costumer after a successful order is mailed to me.
The costumer is then using this number to identify themselfes via the bank OCR-field.
Is this a secure way of doing this? I mean.. can the Order ID's mix up and cross between different orders?

Thanx in advance /Bengan

Assuming you don't clear down the orders, order IDs are unique.

Thanx wizzud for yet another good answer, that's what I wanted to hear.
I don't know for sure what you mean with "clear down the orders", but I never clear the orders, just changes the status of them, when they are 'finished'.
Thanx again!
