Accept a payment later

Hi, I'm trying to implement this scenario, but I think I'm missing something:
in our e-commerce, customers can make orders that have to be confirmed later by the admin (or refused), so the payments have to stay in a sort of "pending" status and then updated with accept or deny.
I see in your docs the "PUT - Update payment" API, but I can't understand how I can create the order with this kind of "pending" status.
Eventually, is there a way to use also the PRE_AUTHORIZED flow with the same scenario as well?

Thank you
