Google Checkout API - Connect order with notification?

Question

Using the Google Checkout XML API, is it possible to connect an order you send to Google Checkout to an order Google Checkout notifies you about?

Right now, I can send an order to Google Checkout, and I can get notifications from Google that an order went through. But I don't see how to connect the two. I need this to connect orders to user accounts.

Send over an explicit order number with your data to Google. This is some test code I wrote that does just this

        CheckoutShoppingCartRequest Req = checkoutButton.CreateRequest();
        Req.AddItem(product.Name, product.ShortDescription, OrderID, product.Price, 1);
        GCheckoutResponse Resp = Req.Send();

        if (Resp.IsGood)
        {

        }
        else
        {

        }

I'm doing this in PHP and using the xml server-server checkout. I want to do what you've suggested, but I don't quite understand how with my implementation. – hookedonwinter Aug 01 '10 at 17:02
Have you looked over this? http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/samples/Google_Checkout_Sample_Code_PHP.html – TheGeekYouNeed Aug 02 '10 at 01:47
Ya a few times. I figured it out, using your idea as a base. Thanks for that. – hookedonwinter Aug 04 '10 at 14:53

Generally, you can use the merchant-private-data field to pass any custom data about your order.

When you get back the notification, read the custom info from the merchant-private-data field.

See this answer for a solution to a similar issue.
