django-plans-paypal 1.1.0

Integration between django-plans and django-paypal.

Almost automatic integration between django-plans and django-paypal. This will add subscribe buttons to the order page and automatically confirm the Order after the payment.

Currently it is in experimetal stage, wher only recurring payments (subscribtions) are supported.

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-plans-paypal.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install and configure django-plans and django-paypal apps. Capture mode is not yet supported, so PAYMENT_VARINANTS with 'capture': False will not get confirmed.

Install Django plans paypal:

pip install django-plans-paypal

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS, before the plans:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'payments',
    'paypal.standard.ipn',
    'plans_paypal',
    ...
)

Add your bussiness account e-mail address to settings:

PAYPAL_BUSSINESS_EMAIL = "[e-mail]"

# To enable encrypted PayPal form:
PAYPAL_ENCRYPTED_FORM = True
PAYPAL_PRIVATE_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_private.pem')
PAYPAL_PUBLIC_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_public.pem')
PAYPAL_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_cert.pem')
PAYPAL_CERT_ID = 'xxxxx'

Add Django plans_paypal to the URL patterns:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^plans-paypal', include('plans_paypal.urls')),
    ...
]

Override django-plans class CreateOrderView so that get_success_url() returns url of paypal-payment view:

def get_success_url(self):
   return reverse("paypal-payment", kwargs={'order_id': self.object.id})

Sandbox testing

Set following settings:

PAYPAL_TEST_BUSSINESS_EMAIL = "[e-mail]"
PAYPAL_TEST = True

# For encrypted PayPal sandbox form:
PAYPAL_TEST_PRIVATE_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_private.pem')
PAYPAL_TEST_PUBLIC_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_public.pem')
PAYPAL_TEST_CERT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'certs/paypal_sandbox_cert.pem')
PAYPAL_TEST_CERT_ID = 'xxxx'

Redirect user to paypal-payment-sandbox instead of paypal-payment view.
