You have the besto PayPal tutorial for integrating it into a Django application!!! Keep it up.

[@the_proton_guy]

Thank you 🥳🥳

[@code-with-vivek]

You are the best...I appreciate the detailed video on integrating Paypal with Django. Have been searching for this and gone through a lot of documentation, but everything seemed outdated or incomplete then I came across your video...

[@the_proton_guy]

I am glad I could help 🎉🎉

[@Ash2Tutorial]

I found it very helpful. Your video was short and to the point.

[@the_proton_guy]

I am glad I could help 🎉

Hey guys, I just want to let you know that you can just use the smart buttons option. You basically take a link and then use a anchor element in your HTML code so you don't really have to do the integration manually.

[@mashin4777]

It's look like anybody can go straight to payment success url and if you will do any additional logic (like it should be) , for example - marking order as paid at this view, anyone can get any product for free, am I missing something?

[@the_proton_guy]

Yes you’re right extra validation can be done to prevent things like that like for example, generating unique payment id’s with uuid and the passing those into the url. The main idea of the video was to teach how to integrate PayPal with Django

[@mashin4777]

Thank you, anyway, for your job, I just felt it's important to notice, since for many people youtube tutors is an copy/paste source :)@@the_proton_guy

[@mvk576]

I tried to change the receiver email in settings but it's not working can anyone help me please

[@the_proton_guy]

Make sure the receiver email is a real email signed up with PayPal

[@JuniorWog]

what if a customer want to buy more than one artice at one time ? ( for the total price )

[@the_proton_guy]

That’s where a carting system comes in. The customer can add all what they what to buy to a cart and then checkout (payment by PayPal) all the items in the cart at once and the total price for the items will be specified in the code alter summing the total prices. In the video, I did not build a carting system though because I wanted it to be as simple and short as possible

[@JuniorWog]

@@the_proton_guy thanks so much for the answer. did you have an exemple video for me ?

[@the_proton_guy]

I don’t personally have a video but I can recommend another one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXrPiZdoo5WSo6Msi=kDo9l5SgEETIkHeD

[@jjssam5165]

How can I solve the issue that anyone can simply access the payment success url(where I will be adding important view logic to mark an order as paid)? What do you think about my method? I am thinking about creating an order instance with a unique uuid field when the user enters the checkout page. Then, I am going to make this order's uuid part of the return_url to the PaymentSuccessful view. That way, once the user is redirected to the PaymentSuccessful view after a successful paypal payment, I will be able to check in the backend whether the return_url's uuid matches one of the orders' uuid field. This way I would be able to identify the correct order (and thus product), and prevent the user from creating additional orders by simply reloading the PaymentSuccessful url. I would appreciate your opinon on whether this would work. Thank you.

[@the_proton_guy]

Yeah that’s a good way of doing it. Once the use lands on the page, you check if the uuid in the url actually exists in the database and if it does, you can mark the order with that uuid as paid. If it is not valid, redirect the person to the checkout page maybe or any other page you want.

[@jjssam5165]

​@@the_proton_guy Hey, thanks for the confirmation! Before I deploy the website to a live server, are there any other security gaps that I need to take care of if I following this video's instructions (other than the one I mentioned before regarding PaymentSuccessful view)? Also, I just need to change the settings to PAYPAL_TEST = False in order to make this production ready right?

[@the_proton_guy]

Yes, make sure you set that to False! I think that should be all

[@siyonshaji1013]

When i try this paypal checkout page shows try again. "Things dont appear to be working at this moment", this message is displayed. What to do now

[@the_proton_guy]

It could be from them. Maybe try later. I ran into this issue once

[@user-ju7dw9yc1b]

After Paypal payment , I want to be redirected automatically to the PaymentSuccessful view instead of first click back to webstore and get the PaymentSuccessful view. Is that possible? If yes, how to change the code?

[@the_proton_guy]

I don’t think so
