Hello I'm a Django Noobie and maybe I'm completely wrong about this but in my app named "core", I have a file called apps.py where I register my signals. I just followed a tutorial as well so I can't yet explain what it does but if I had to guess is just to register the app with my signals.
Just when reading your question it reminded me of this: [image: appconfig.png] If this is wrong info I'll delete this but maybe this helps :) Regards On Wednesday, 29 December 2021 at 21:22:46 UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > Hello all, > > I decided to try and accept payments on my web application.
