Commit=perform//Account=customer or person you do business with
In this case, "Commit" means to do or perform the process of ordering something. "Account" means a customer that you do business with. Another way to say both phrases is: Place the order//Be aware of customers that pose a high level of risk /or/ be careful of risky customers.

i think it's a synonym for "to order", basically they are saying "do the process of ordering". Extra context or sample text would help us decide.
