Seriously, don't transfer the session ID. It's just overcomplicating matters.
Follow Adam's advice - it's also how I've just handled integration with the UK secure payments company "Secure Hosting". Basically, this was my process: 1. Cart contents are stored in a session. 2. On checkout, I dump the relevant details into a form as hidden fields, then pass those through to the secure server (they take the payment details on their server, rather than it being handled on mine). I also store an Order containing the full details of the order, with the status flag "Payment Pending". 3. The secure server takes the payment, and calls a controller action on my site with the Order ID and transaction status, so I can then update my database appropriately. 4. The customer is redirected to either a payment failed or payment success page depending on what happened.
