Thank you Peter.  I'm having trouble getting etc/log_transaction to
execute.  I'm trying to do this as simply as possible and I've created
etc/log_transaction, added the following to catalog.cfg (which is my
only Route definition):

Route default report etc/log_transaction

and added the following to the checkout page:

<input type="hidden" name="mv_order_route" value="default" />

I know using mv_order_route in a form field is deprecated, but I
couldn't tell from the docs how else I should be calling it.  I don't
see any reference to an order route in the standard demo checkout.html
either.  Can you point out what I'm missing here?
