748137 - Show a nice in-app payment UI when involving PayPal

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: API, defect, P3)

Description

[Kumar McMillan [:kumar]]

In a few less common cases, the buyer will need to enter the PayPal UI to complete an in-app payment. These cases are described here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746460#c4

The UI for this currently isn't pretty. It involves many nested iframes, something like this: http://cl.ly/3y0q1c2A3U0M1n0J3L3K

We should make this slightly more pretty! i.e. user friendly.

We are explicitly not allowing paypal in the in-app flow. Users should never have to deal with iframe inception. We can gracefully fail in these corner cases, and strive to avoid them.

If we decide to wontfix it then we need to change the code :) https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/mkt/inapp_pay/views.py#L151 <- that will trigger the wonky iframe in today's in-app flow. Here is a list of scenarios that will trigger it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746460#c4

Maybe we should display an error message like 'we have experienced an unexpected error with PayPal' instead?

yes, that makes much sense :) didn't realize we still had cases where this triggered.

I assume this can be WONTFIX'd?

Yep. The new UI will be part of bug 794651
