Customer order verification by clicking link in email

Hi!

I’d like to add the act of clicking a link in the “Processing order” email to the ordering process so that, in priority order:

1. Clicking this link verifies and completes the order
2. Not clicking this link within a specified time frame cancels the order
3. The clicking act is stored as part of the ordering process.

Adding a unique order link to the template is easy, but I need to store the click.
The business reason is that an order is not legally binding without some verification. The payment is invoice only in this case.

I assume, having used Woocommerce for a while, that I need some kind of extension to build this. I’m not certain what type of product could help me solve this, but as these steps are very much like when you sign up for an account anywhere, it would seem someone has solved this problem. Accounts are not used for this store as delivery is IRL and resource intense.

Any suggestion for product or approach? I need something simple, though it’s acceptable to write some code as well.
