Can I get the Merchant Item ID of Google Checkout for an Android application that was not purchased?

We are trying to integrate the Android Market into our services, and we will need to make sure that the user really owns a particular application, we will need to automate the search for sales for this particular application.

Thus, we evaluate the Google Checkout notification history API, which allows us to request past sales from our server for a specific application.

Now the problem is that we do not know how to get the Item Checkout identifier for the application itself. Is there anyway we can match the name of the Android package with the identifier of the Google Checkout sales agent?

I understand that after the purchase, you can find the Google Checkout merchant ID and the order specified in Google Checkout. However, is it possible to get an identifier without any purchases?

Instead of using the story API, can you use the notification API and record any information you need at the time of ordering? http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_XML_API_Notification_API.html

You can also use the license verification library to make sure that the user really owns the application. See http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/licensing.html
