There are so many variables and possible points of failure between you clicking the "order" button and your order being processed and card charged that it is practically impossible to predict and prevent all of them. The "double-click" error is easy and common enough though and should not be happening. On the other hand, "out-of-the-box" shopping carts are often sub-standard sold to companies who do not know what to look for and once sold, the companies are often stuck with the sub-standard over priced solution because it would be too expensive for them to change.
