Re: database update after paypal payment

You should use Django-PayPal app. It has views for IPN and PDT, stores transaction details in DB, does TX verification and it fires of a signal when when a successful transaction comes in to your webhook. 

All you have to do is specify some URLs and settings. It'll even render that front end form for you using a Django form. It really is a bomb. 

Cheers,

This code is all irrelevant. This is the important URL:

> <input id="id_return_url"

> name="return" type="hidden" value="http://www.example.com/thank-you">

 

Wouldn't name it "thank-you" either. That would be the final page, but the flow is:

 

- Submit to PayPal

- At above return_url, receive data from PayPal:

- Check for success / failure

- If success:

set paid to True, redirect to /thank-you

- else:

display error and cart
