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.
