Overview

Django Clean Architecture is a streamlined framework designed for the integration of payment gateway APIs, specifically featuring PayPal and Stripe functionalities. It provides developers with a structured approach to incorporating payment services into their applications, while adhering to clean architectural principles. With a focus on essential capabilities like EUR transactions and sandbox testing, this framework offers a solid foundation for building payment processing systems.

Inspired by larger production projects, Django Clean Architecture organizes its components using a layered system: Entities, Domain, Application, and Infrastructure. This structured methodology not only enhances maintainability but also facilitates ease of integration with external services, making it an appealing choice for developers working with payment gateways.

Features

  • Django Integration: Built using the Django framework, ensuring seamless integration into existing Django applications and leveraging its powerful features.

  • Multi-Gateway Support: Currently supports both PayPal and Stripe (card & SEPA), allowing developers flexibility in payment options.

  • Sandbox Testing: Provides a sandbox-only environment for testing, requiring developers to have their own PayPal and Stripe sandbox accounts.

  • Clean Architecture: Follows Clean Architecture patterns, promoting a well-organized structure that separates concerns for better maintainability.

  • Payment Processing Functionality: Includes functionalities for creating, capturing, and checking payment status through straightforward API endpoints.

  • Easy Setup: Simplified server startup with the command python manage.py runserver, making it easy to initiate the application for development and testing.

  • Clear Documentation: Comes with README files detailing the modules, enhancing user understanding of how to effectively use the framework.

  • Flexible Payment Authentication: Redirects users to the respective payment gateways for authentication, ensuring secure and reliable payment processing.
