984521 - Creating products from the marketplace

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Payments/Refunds, defect, P3)

Description

[Andy McKay]

At the moment we create a product in solitude and in the payment provider in two different places. For paid apps we do it in zamboni. For in-app payments we do it in webpay.

With the change to creating in-app products in the zamboni, it was raised that it seems odd to create products in multiple places. This bug is to think about the code paths and hopefully consolidate so that products are created in zamboni (earlier) or webpay (later), create the code that needs to be done and delete the relevant old code.

Pros and cons:
* zamboni: means we need more maintenance code to keep the products on the server up to date as we create products
* webpay: possibly slower purchases as more work is done then
