Allow dedicated payment and receipt for license edits about cocalc HOT 3 OPEN

An easiest and quite flexible way to implement it may be supporting a "license edit" product in the cart, so that it is treated the same way as everything else for checkout purposes.

Unfortunately, it would be significantly more difficult to implement than just adding an option during the license edit process to pay via a new transaction.

A workaround for this problem could be to support having a user customizable invoice/receipt with line items when purchasing a cash voucher. If the license edit costs $17.34, you could buy a cash voucher for $17.43 that says "Cash voucher to add 4 students to my course...", pay for it via a new credit card transaction, and then later use that credit to edit the license in the usual way.

"CoCalc credit voucher ..." or just "Voucher ..." without any mention of cash or money ;-)

It think that would be fine solution - the checkout dialog can be kept to a minimum, but with a clear link like

"Need an explicit invoice for this edit? Read this BEFORE completing your purchase!"
