Registering customer orders

When a shopping cart is checked out, you need to save an order in the database. Orders will contain information about customers and the products they are buying.

Create a new application for managing customer orders using the following command:

python manage.py startapp orders

Edit the settings.py file of your project and add the new application to the INSTALLED_APPS setting, as follows:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'shop.apps.ShopConfig',
    'cart.apps.CartConfig',
    'orders.apps.OrdersConfig',
]

You have activated the orders application.

Creating order models

You will need a model to store the order details and a second model to store items bought, including their price and quantity. Edit the models.py file of the orders application and add the following code to it:

from django.db import models
from shop.models import Product
class Order(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name...
