[TYPO3-commerce] Confirm order before payment

[Ralf Merz]

Hi Rik,

does iDEAL offer something like a hiddentrigger? That means, if the 
payment was successful on the payment page, the iDEAL Server calls a 
URL, so called hiddentrigger-URL, in the backround, so you can finish 
the order by your script. But have to be careful: If the hiddentrigger 
finishes the order AND the customer clicks the button to come back, 
you´ll have 2 orders.

Another idea:
can you change the iDEAL templates? Then I would just put a javascript 
there with a window.onload function which automatically redirects to 
your finish step.
