We have a number of products that we want to sell, but not add or show in the basket with the other standard products they sell. The idea is, the user clicks a button, which adds to a virtual basket, they complete a form, and following a successful form submission, the basket is completed into a hidden order and finalised all behind the scenes.
You can create an order at any time manually with the Order.Create method and do what you want with that order. The only thing that makes a "current order" a current order is that it is loaded into the users session. If you don't load it into the session, there is no real way for a customer to see it so you can create it and work with it however you need.

What would be the best way forward?
