Changing Payment Processors#
Warning
This service is deprecated and was last tagged for the Redwood release. We are not fixing bugs or developing new features for it. For updates, follow along on the DEPR ticket
Payment processors sometimes experience temporary outages. When these outages occur, you can use Waffle switches to disable the faulty payment processor or processors, then re-enable them after the outage is over.
The names of these switches use prefixes that are the value of the
PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_SWITCH_PREFIX
setting. By default, this value is
payment_processor_active_
. The following table lists valid switches and the
payment processors they control.
Payment Processor |
Switch Name |
Default Value |
---|---|---|
PayPal |
payment_processor_active_paypal |
True |
CyberSource |
payment_processor_active_cybersource |
True |
In the unlikely event that all payment processors are disabled, the LMS will display an informative error message explaining why payment is not currently possible.
