When a customer is transferred to a PSP like Secure Trading, that is when the online store creates the *.ord file for the order. This file contains the shopping cart, name address and shipping data.

Then when a customer comes back from the PSP, that is when the payment authorisation file is created (with an extension of *.occ).

When Actinic retrieves orders, it downloads the *.ord files and their matching *.occ files to create a complete order.

Now, if a customer abandons their shopping session while they are at the PSP page, then you get a *.ord file without a *.occ file. Actinic downloads th *.ord file and files the order in the 'Pending PSP' folder in the 'Orders' area of Actinic. These are automatically purged after a while.
