Run custom script only after successful checkout

Is it possible to run a php script upon successful checkout, after the customer has paid for an order, on zen-cart? Thanks.

I am looking to add a row in table in the same mysql database with the product quantity for a different php script.

I think I can get it done by adding it to the payment module under includes/modules/payment. Is there a way to do this so I can update my table with all payment modules?

Write your own custom observer class to hook the NOTIFY_ORDER_AFTER_ORDER_CREATE_ADD_PRODUCTS notifier point and do your custom database code insertion from that observer class.
There are many addons in the Addons section which use notifier/observer classes, and the concepts are outlined in the wiki.
