You said you are using the Foundation demo, so this should all
be built in.  The order email sent to you will have what's
referred to by default as a "Lead Source".  This is your mv_pc
(affiliate ID) number.  This ID will also be saved in the
transactions table in the "affiliate" column.

You can use the [data session source] tag if you want to use this
ID elsewhere.
