[TYPO3-commerce] Confirm order before payment

[Rik Willems]

Hi Morten,

Thank you for your answer. The reason I want this is because my clients 
uses an iDEAL version (called Lite) which isn't an integrated solution. 
This means to be sure you have to check the payment dashboard for the 
payment of an order.

When a customer pays in the external environment at the last step the 
payment is confirmed, so the money is transfered. But than they have to 
press a button to go back to commerce. Only after this step the order is 
created. Now if they don't press that last button they have paid, but 
there is no order. For this reason I'd like to confirm before sending to 
the payment provider.

I have managed to get it working. Although it is not a beautiful 
solution it is the best for this situation. And, I didn't touch the 
commerce code at all.

Greets, Rik
