In other words, the option to pay for an out of stock item with a note that it is being back ordered.


Currently I see an option to either show "out of stock" or not to "show out of stock" or "sold out".
Admin -> Configuration -> Stock -> Allow Checkout

That should allow your customers to purchase the item, then maybe just change the 'sold out' image to 'back ordered' or something meaningful?
