A 'managed account' is an allocation of money that can be debited and credited. This package provides managed account functionality for use with the e-commerce framework Oscar.
Accounts can be used to implement a variety of interesting components, including:
Basically anything that involves tracking the movement of funds within a closed system.
This package uses double-entry bookkeeping where every transaction is recorded twice (once for the source and once for the destination). This ensures the books always balance and there is full audit trail of all transactional activity.
If your project manages money, you should be using a library like this. Your finance people will thank you.
Install using pip:
pip install django-oscar-accounts
and add oscar_accounts.apps.AccountsConfig
and oscar_accounts.dashboard.apps.AccountsDashboardConfig
to INSTALLED_APPS
. Running manage.py migrate oscar_accounts
will create the appropriate database tables. To create initial some core accounts and account-types use manage.py oscar_accounts_init
. The names of these accounts can be controlled using settings (see below).
In order to make the accounts accessible via the Oscar dashboard you need to append it to your OSCAR_DASHBOARD_NAVIGATION
from oscar.defaults import * OSCAR_DASHBOARD_NAVIGATION.append( { 'label': 'Accounts', 'icon': 'fas fa-globe', 'children': [ { 'label': 'Accounts', 'url_name': 'accounts_dashboard:accounts-list', }, { 'label': 'Transfers', 'url_name': 'accounts_dashboard:transfers-list', }, { 'label': 'Deferred income report', 'url_name': 'accounts_dashboard:report-deferred-income', }, { 'label': 'Profit/loss report', 'url_name': 'accounts_dashboard:report-profit-loss', }, ] })
Furthermore you need to add the url-pattern to your urls.py
from django.apps import apps # ... urlpatterns = [ ... path('dashboard/accounts/', apps.get_app_config('accounts_dashboard').urls), ]
You should also set-up a cronjob that calls:
./manage.py close_expired_accounts
to close any expired accounts and transfer their funds to the 'expired' account.
Create account instances using the manager:
from decimal import Decimal import datetime from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from oscar_accounts import models User = get_user_model() anonymous_account = models.Account.objects.create() barry = User.objects.get(username="barry") user_account = models.Account.objects.create(primary_user=barry) no_credit_limit_account = models.Account.objects.create(credit_limit=None) credit_limit_account = models.Account.objects.create(credit_limit=Decimal('1000.00')) today = datetime.date.today() next_week = today + datetime.timedelta(days=7) date_limited_account = models.Account.objects.create( start_date=today, end_date=next_week)
Transfer funds using the facade:
from oscar_accounts import facade staff_member = User.objects.get(username="staff") trans = facade.transfer(source=no_credit_limit_account, destination=user_account, amount=Decimal('10.00'), user=staff_member)
Reverse transfers:
facade.reverse(trans, user=staff_member, description="Just an example")
If the proposed transfer is invalid, an exception will be raised. All exceptions are subclasses of oscar_accounts.exceptions.AccountException
. Your client code should look for exceptions of this type and handle them appropriately.
Client code should only use the oscar_accounts.models.Budget
class and the two functions from oscar_accounts.facade
- nothing else should be required.
Note that the transfer operation is wrapped in its own database transaction to ensure that only complete transfers are written out. When using Django's transaction middleware, you need to be careful. If you have an unhandled exception, then account transfers will still be committed even though nothing else will be. To handle this, you need to make sure that, if an exception occurs during your post-payment code, then you roll-back any transfers.
Here's a toy example:
from oscar_accounts import facade def submit(self, order_total): # Take payment first transfer = facade.transfer(self.get_user_account(), self.get_merchant_account(), order_total) # Create order models try: self.place_order() except Exception, e: # Something went wrong placing the order. Roll-back the previous # transfer facade.reverse(transfer)
In this situation, you'll end up with two transfers being created but no order. While this isn't ideal, it's the best way of handling exceptions that occur during order placement.
Projects will often allow users to have multiple accounts and pay for an order using more than one. This will involve several transfers and needs some careful handling in your application code.
It normally makes sense to write your own wrapper around the accounts API to encapsulate your business logic and error handling. Here's an example:
from decimal import Decimal as D from oscar_accounts import models, exceptions, facade def redeem(order_number, user, amount): # Get user's non-empty accounts ordered with the first to expire first accounts = models.Account.active.filter( user=user, balance__gt=0).order_by('end_date') # Build up a list of potential transfers that cover the requested amount transfers = [] amount_to_allocate = amount for account in accounts: to_transfer = min(account.balance, amount_to_allocate) transfers.append((account, to_transfer)) amount_to_allocate -= to_transfer if amount_to_allocate == D('0.00'): break if amount_to_allocate > D('0.00'): raise exceptions.InsufficientFunds() # Execute transfers to some 'Sales' account destination = models.Account.objects.get(name="Sales") completed_transfers = [] try: for account, amount in transfers: transfer = facade.transfer( account, destination, amount, user=user, description="Order %s" % order_number) completed_transfers.append(transfer) except exceptions.AccountException, transfer_exc: # Something went wrong with one of the transfers (possibly a race condition). # We try and roll back all completed ones to get us back to a clean state. try: for transfer in completed_transfers: facade.reverse(transfer) except Exception, reverse_exc: # Uh oh: No man's land. We could be left with a partial # redemption. This will require an admin to intervene. Make # sure your logger mails admins on error. logger.error("Order %s, transfers failed (%s) and reverse failed (%s)", order_number, transfer_exc, reverse_exc) logger.exception(reverse_exc) # Raise an exception so that your client code can inform the user appropriately. raise RedemptionFailed() else: # All transfers completed ok return completed_transfers
As you can see, there is some careful handling of the scenario where not all transfers can be executed.
If you using Oscar then ensure that you create an OrderSource
instance for every transfer (rather than aggregating them all into one). This will provide better audit information. Here's some example code:
try: transfers = api.redeem(order_number, user, total_incl_tax) except Exception: # Inform user of failed payment else: for transfer in transfers: source_type, __ = SourceType.objects.get_or_create(name="Accounts") source = Source( source_type=source_type, amount_allocated=transfer.amount, amount_debited=transfer.amount, reference=transfer.reference) self.add_payment_source(source)Core accounts and account types
A post-syncdb signal will create the common structure for account types and accounts. Some names can be controlled with settings, as indicated in parentheses.
ACCOUNTS_REDEMPTIONS_NAME
) - where money is transferred to when an account is used to pay for something.ACCOUNTS_LAPSED_NAME
) - where money is transferred to when an account expires. This is done by the 'close_expired_accounts' management command. The name of this account can be set using the ACCOUNTS_LAPSED_NAME
.ACCOUNTS_BANK_NAME
) - the source account for creating new accounts that are paid for by the customer (eg a giftcard). This account will not have a credit limit and will normally have a negative balance as money is only transferred out.Consider the following accounts and account types:
Note that all accounts start with a balance of 0 and the sum of all balances will always be zero.
A customer purchases a £50 giftcard
A customer pays for a £30 order using their £50 giftcard
The customer's giftcard expires with £20 still on it
The customer phones up to complain and a staff member creates a new giftcard for £20
There are settings to control the naming and initial unpaid and deferred income account types:
ACCOUNTS_MIN_LOAD_VALUE
The minimum value that can be used to create an account (or for a top-up)ACCOUNTS_MAX_INITIAL_VALUE
The maximum value that can be transferred to an account.OSCAR_ACCOUNTS_DASHBOARD_ITEMS_PER_PAGE
The amount of items per page that show in dashboard(default=20).Fork repo, set-up virtualenv and run:
make install
