This feature is supported by Altea PSS (reservation system) if I'm not mistaken so in theory it could be used by other Altea system users (carriers) as well.

Interesting, thanks.

I ended up on the online chat for a long time and then on the phone to complete the booking.

My laptop battery had gone whilst on the page (before entering any payment info). I reconnected on a different WiFi network and there was the reservation on my account.
