i'm using django-paypal package to implement my site payments
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# other apps
"paypal.standard.ipn",
"payment",
"...."
]
....
PAYPAL_RECEIVER_EMAIL = "[email protected]"
PAYPAL_TEST = True
views.py
...
def payment_process(request):
host = request.get_host()
paypal_dict = {
"business": settings.PAYPAL_RECEIVER_EMAIL,
"amount": "99",
"item_name": "python_book22",
"invoice": "some invice name22",
"currency_code": "USD",
"notify_url": "http://{}{}".format(host, reverse("paypal-ipn")),
"return_url": "http://{}{}".format(host, reverse("payment:done")),
"cancel_return": "http://{}{}".format(host, reverse("payment:cancel")),
}
form = PayPalPaymentsForm(initial=paypal_dict)
return render(request, "payment/payment_process.html", {"form": form})
@csrf_exempt
def Done(request):
return render(request, "payment/done.html")
@csrf_exempt
def Cancel(request):
return render(request, "payment/cancel.html")
I have no idea how safe is this, because in client side it renders a form like this
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" id="id_cmd">
<input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" id="id_charset">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" id="id_currency_code">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" id="id_no_shipping">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]" id="id_business">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="99" id="id_amount">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="python_book22" id="id_item_name">
<input type="hidden" name="invoice" value="some invice name22" id="id_invoice">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://127.0.0.1:8000/paypal/" id="id_notify_url">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://127.0.0.1:8000/payment/cancel/" id="id_cancel_return">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://127.0.0.1:8000/payment/done/" id="id_return">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="Buy it Now">
</form>
Anyone can easily change <input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]" id="id_business"> this and write other email, while system (can't/don't) detect it and the after the payment done to other account it returns the success url (however the payment was to other account).
Any idea ?? Sorry if i missed up things or had a misunderstandings
