The price of the goods ordered will be the price shown in US Dollars at the time of the order on the product pages of this site. The cost of arranging delivery and purchase price will be clearly displayed on the buy page ***before the customer commits to the order*** and will be the full and final amount due for the order. Credit cards are processed in US Dollars.

It\'s just a more informal way of saying \"confirms the order\".

Since so often you have preliminary orders which impose little or no obligation on either party, there is usually a separate step which marks the decision to go through with the transaction.
