Once they added some clicks, impressions or days, they have to choose a payment method to use. Users can choose if they want to pay directly for this order (simple payment) or if they want to use funds purchased earlier by using packages. More info about the payment system is available here. If they selected to pay directly for this order, it shows an order summary (template advertiser_order_simple_review.html) and then links to payment pages (template advertiser_order_payment_page.html).
