I'm shooting for publishing the integrated payment screen in about 2 - 3 
weeks.

The integrated payment screen is written in Python and Mako Templates, 
since those are the tools I know best.  They are in an SVN repository, 
which can be pulled from.  If the community wants, it can added to the 
LSMB distribution.  (Maybe someone can describe the procedure for adding 
code to the distribution.)  Of course, a merchant account is required, 
which our firm can provide at rather competitive rates.
