Configuration

Configure the application:

Add to urls.py:

As recommendation, temporary log all events from this package as well:

LOGGING = {
    # ...

    'filters': {
        'require_debug_false': {
            '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse',
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'mail_admins': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
        },
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        # ...

        'suds': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        },
        'oscar_docdata': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins', 'console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    },
}

Caveats

While working with the docdata 1.0 API, we found the following limitations:

• Address fields are oriented towards Dutch address standards. Passing US-addressfields is hard, or requires hacking (e.g. faking the house number).

• Passing invalid address fields could cause PayPal, VISA or MasterCard transactions to fail.

• The individual payment objects have a status value, but the payment cluster does not. This means that there is no global status value to read. If an order has been cancelled before starting a payment, there is no way to tell from the API. The only way this can be detected, is when the customer presses the “Back to shop” link, which calls the cancel callback url. You may want to catch the return_view_called signal for this.

• Determining that an order has been paid happens by comparing “received >= expected”. This could break with currency conversions. Again, because the payment cluster status is not exposed in the API.

We hope this will be addressed by Docdata Payments in future versions of the API.
