preparation of orders/triggering of orders
"Bestellauslösung" would be triggering of orders through a click.
I would not use nouns in the translation. I would say "to prepare orders" or "to trigger orders".

I do not quite see what sounds so awkward. \"... in France the catalogue is used to an above-average extent to prepare orders.\"
\"The Internet also predominates to trigger orders\" or \"The Internet also predominates as a method of triggering orders.\"

: "preparation for ordering" would seem better here, since those orders are then triggered. "preparation of orders" could also be after order is received.

In reply to the asker\'s comment, I think the distinction between gathering information (or deciding whether you want to make an order) and placing an order shouldn\'t be completely overlooked.
How about \"preparing an order\" and \"placing an order\" as a fairly simple way of maintaining the distinction?

: sounds good to me! It seems that French customers tend to base their ordering decisions on the catalogue (which I assume is paper), then ring up and say "I want x, y, z" and in UK/Spain people ring up and say "could you tell me more about x?"
