I just did this for a client.
Make a listener function and connect to satchmo_order_success. In that
function look for your subscription products, and create or update your
Account model for the user attached to the order.
Something like this:
#=============
def subscription_sale_listener(order=None, **kwargs):
"""
Listen for a successful order, and if it contains a subscription
then create the proper profile.
"""
if order:
for item in order.orderitem_set.all():
if item.product.is_subscription:
log.debug('Found subscription for %s on order #%i',
item.product.slug, order.id)
make_my_profile(order.contact, item)
break
def make_my_profile(contact, item):
"""Make your custom profile here"""
pass
order_success.connect(subscription_sale_listener)
#=============
The only trick is that you'll need to turn on the "user must be logged in to
order" switch, and probably used the combined login/register page I added
last week. Otherwise you'd get people who order a subscription but have no
way to login, since they aren't users.
