📦 Installation

pip install django_pg

⚙️ Project Setup

1. Add the app to INSTALLED_APPS

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_pg',  # Your payment package
]

2. Define required settings in your settings.py

# settings.py

# Models used for order
PAYMENT_ORDER_MODEL = 'yourapp.Order'

# Paystack keys
# It's recomended that you put the secret key 
# in a .env file and load it in your settings
PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY = 'your-paystack-public-key'
PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY = 'your-paystack-secret-key'

3. Extend the BaseOrder abstract model In your own app, create your order model by extending gateways.models.BaseOrder:

# yourapp/models.py
from django.db import models
from django_pg.models import BaseOrder

class Order(BaseOrder):
    user = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    total_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    # Add your fields here

4. 🔍 Verifying Payments in Your View In your views.py, use the dispatcher like this:

from django_pg.payment import verify_payment

@login_required
def payment_verification(request, order_id, payment_method):
    reference = request.GET.get('reference')
    result = verify_payment(order_id, reference, request.user, payment_method)

    if result.get("success"):
        # redirect to track order for example if payment is successful
        return redirect('store:track_order', order_reference=result["order_reference"])
    else:
        messages.error(request, result["message"])
        return redirect('store:shop')

5. Add JS to html template

✅ Sample JS for Paystack Add this inside your .html template:

{% if payment_method == 'paystack' %}
<script src="https://js.paystack.co/v2/inline.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function payWithPaystack() {
        var handler = PaystackPop.setup({
            key: '{{ PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY }}',
            email: '{{ request.user.email }}',
            amount: {{ order.total_price|multiply:100 }},
            currency: "NGN",
            ref: '' + Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000000000) + 1),
            callback: function(response) {
                window.location.href = "{% url 'store:payment_verification' order.id payment_method %}?reference=" + response.reference;
            },
            onClose: function() {
                alert('Payment was not completed.');
            }
        });
        handler.openIframe();
    }

    window.onload = function() {
        payWithPaystack();
    };
</script>
{% endif %}

🔁 Signals (Auto Order Reference)

You don’t need to register anything. The gateways app automatically registers a pre_save signal that generates a unique order_reference.

# gateways/signals.py
@receiver(pre_save, sender=Order)
def set_order_reference(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    if not instance.order_reference:
        instance.order_reference = generate_unique_order_reference()

🧠 Gateway Dispatcher (Behind the scenes)

The following function routes the verification based on the selected payment method:

# gateways/payment.py
def verify_payment(order_id, reference, user, payment_method):
    if payment_method == 'paystack':
        return verify_paystack_payment(order_id, reference, user)
    # elif payment_method == 'flutterwave': ...

You don't need to modify this — it's extendable internally.
