703073 - Initialize in-app payment on server side

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect, P2)

Description

[Kumar McMillan [:kumar]]

Implement AMO / Firefox Market backend to support user clicking a Buy button on a hosted app to submit payment for an item.

Spec: https://github.com/mozilla/apps-payment-server/blob/master/DESIGN.md
Prototype: https://github.com/mozilla/apps-payment-server

The backend should:
- lookup app key and decode request per the spec
- log payment info in a transaction record
- provide HTML to support in-app payment modal (or popup window). Note that mobile and desktop views will differ.
- handle browser ID flow like app purchases

As a first iteration this can be nearly identical to how the paypal buy flow works when buying an app or add-on.


relevant URLs in the prototype for reference:

/marketplace/start_app_payment
/marketplace/submit_app_payment
/get_embedded_payment_form
/init_embedded_payment

This bug does not cover:
- PayPal's postback URL. That comes later.
- PayPal's pre-auth flow. Comes later.

Krupa, fyi, all these bugs already block the beta because they are blocking the in-app purchases tracker (bug 698116). The in-app tracker blocks the beta.

This turned into more of a tracker. It can be closed as of bug 738508 and bug 739582
