What I would do is use a baggage field to hold the referrer-if-any, and have the status URL point to a cgi-bin script. If the referrer checks out fine, and if the payment has indeed come in, you could initiate the stand- alone procedure. Be sure to verify that they payment (just) got in or you will be paying the fee on payments never made (after all, the success_url is openly visible). Also make sure that clicking "refresh" on the after-payment page does not resubmit. Actually, another approach would be a lot simpler/wiser. Just record the baggage field with the referrer in the database (or leave it NULL if you don't get the baggage field). Then, whenever you feel like it, you walk over the MySQL table with these referrals and pay them; while doing so, you'd be setting the referrer entries to NULL to avoid repeated payments. This =batch= scheme has the (dis?)advantage that you may (must) enter the password yourself on all payments.
