I'm working on a simple shopping cart / checkout, and I'm trying to decide whether to keep the order info on the server, or somehow send an encrypted email that contains the order info. Does anyone have any experiences/recommendations for handling this type of deferred payment processing in a secure way?

You could encrypt the order information using PGP and send it to an email address. Then decrypt the order locally. http://blog.leetsoft.com/2006/3/14/simple-encryption might be useful.
