German term or phrase: kostenpflichtig bestellen
Auf einer Webseite erscheint der Button "Kostenpflichtig Bestellen", den man klickt, um die Bestellung abzuschließen.

Die Zahlungsmethode wurde bereits ausgewählt. Es ist also der letzte Schritt, um die Bestellung zu bestätigen. Danach erhält man die Zugangsbestätigung per E-Mail. Eine der Zahlungsmethoden ist übrigens "auf Rechnung". Deshalb wahrscheinlich "kostenpflichtig".

Explanation:
"...[D]er Gesetzgeber plant, gegen sog. Abofallen im Internet vorzugehen. Verbraucher sollen besser als bisher vor unseriösen Angeboten geschützt werden.

"Der Bundestag hat nun Anfang März 2012 ein entsprechendes Gesetz verabschiedet. Künftig muss die Kostenpflicht eines Angebots gegenüber einem Verbraucher deutlicher als bisher herausgestellt werden.

"Ab dem 1. August 2012 müssen Online-Händler daher am Ende des Bestellvorgangs einen Button benutzen, der eindeutig auf anfallende Kosten hinweist. Dazu müssen Formulierungen wie „ kostenpflichtig bestellen“, „zahlungspflichtigen Vertrag schließen“ oder „kaufen“ genutzt werden."

neutral  dkfmmuc: I am not completely convinced that "confirm purchase" is the best solution here. German law opens a 14 days time frame for private customers sending the goods back with no questions asked. So the "final" confirmation is 14 days after delivery.

agree  Rebecca Garber: How about "confirm order"? That way, the good are definitively ordered, but not necessarily purchased.

Explanation:
Many German sites seem to use this for the reasons established in the discussion. Bayreuther Festspiele even adds "under obligation of payment“
