I do the same. I create an order record and store the order_id in a session.
The first thing I do in any action is look for the id in the session. If it's
not there, go back to the start. If it's there, do some some stuff, reading
from the db if appropriate. This means I can process an order from beginning to
end without asking the user to log in or create an account first or revealing
the id in the address bar, which also means it is difficult (but not
impossible) for someone to spoof their way into another order. As Paul rightly
says, you can then analyse abandoned orders.
