[TYPO3-commerce] Confirm order before payment

[Ralf Merz]

Hi Rik,

you´re welcome. :)
Hmmm... it´s a pity that the payment provider is not flexible in this 
ways. You will always have customers who do not go back to your page, 
because they think the order is done.

So, maybe you could explain what your hack does? Just for others to 
find this solution easier, when they search in this list.

Do you save the order before step finish now?
