Variant 1
Analysis Summary
Creates an order before checkout and updates it when the payment method changes.
Why It Matters
This can keep order data consistent across checkout steps, but the additional order preparation also affects startup time and recovery from payment errors.
Detailed Description
At the start of checkout, the enabled path creates a draft order for the selected product and payment gateway.
If the user changes payment methods, the same order is updated, while loading and error states block checkout until the order is ready.
