The codes are the similar to the PIDxxx
1. BASKET
2. INFO
3. PAYMENT
4. FINALIZE

You normally use the PIDfinalize. However this is always sent in the 
email. Some shops do not want to show the same contents on the page. So 
they use a proprietary PIDthanks instead to show this page on the screen 
instead of the PIDfinalize.

> - is PIDpayment only needed when using an online payment system?
No, this is always needed to check if the entered data is correct. It is 
best to switch to a payment gateway from here.


Greets,
