This is the classic chicken before the egg thing. How can we assign
an order number if we aren't sure whether the card will be approved?
We could, but then there would be a "hole" every time a transaction
is declined.

The usual thing that is done is to assign some transitory order ID,
perhaps date/time/PID based, then use their assigned order reference
to collate the authorization with the order number.
