The code is really simple to implement, but I don't think the explanation was intuitive enough.
You would need to create a signal like so #hooks.py from django.dispatch import Signal success_signal = Signal(providing_args=[]) #views.py from .hooks import success_signal ... # after payment success_signal.connect(handler_function) success_signal.send(sender=None, **kwargs) This assumes that you already have a listener waiting for the signal broadcast, Also replace None with your sender (optional), and replace **kwargs with any kwargs you're sending to your listeners.
