Accept PayPal payments in your VueJs and DRF App

In this build, you will be able to add PayPal checkout buttons (PayPal button and credit card button) to your Vuejs web application. I will guide you through the process from start to finish as we will create sandbox accounts to test what we built. And finally, I will guide you through a checklist so you can create your live credentials and have everything 100% ready for deployment.

Description

Tech stack:

django rest-framework

Django 3.2, 4.0, 4.1

Estimated Build Time:

1 Hours

When working with a REST API architecture, one of the main problems we can encounter is communication with a third-party entity, like PayPal. In our example, we want the payment to go through and update our database accordingly. More specifically, when the payment goes through, we need to send a request to the backend to update our database depending on our business logic.

Problem:

The problem we should face here is how are we going to secure the endpoint that takes care of updating the database. In other words: the endpoint can be used directly by any user, without any payment going through.
