There are a multitude of ways in checkout_profile, but they all involve
writing a global UserTag to access your code. One fairly easy way:

(in checkout_profile)

    state=required
    email=required
    etc=required

    [value name=it_succeeds set="[your-usertag]" hide=1]
    it_succeeds=required Sorry, the socket test failed.
