nij4t2 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi all, I've looked at the Paypal IPN contribution with interest as a source of information for storing orders prior to moving to a different 3-rd party payment system. The thing I don't understand about it is that it stores the order in the confirmation() method. This seems to me to be earlier than necessary, and leaves orders around which 'get in the way of' orders that are real but did not get to an appropriate status for other reasons. So, by storing the order on the confirmation screen, orders get created for someone who just wanted to find out a shipping quote for an order... and just wanted to see the order total in a suitable form! (i.e. they may not even have planned to buy today at all). Wouldn't this be solved if the store-to-database element of the code was in the process_button() method instead? But as this makes so much sense to me, and the developers chose not to do it, I presume I must be missing something! :( Your thoughts appreciated, Nij Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
