Answer 1

Following the steps of Oscar Paypal is a pretty good idea. It's a pretty well written project. There are facades written that abstract the details of communicating with the Paypal Express and PayFlow APIs. The facade functions are then called from the views.py in each package, which is where the real integration with Oscar begins.

The Paypal Express implementation for example is integrated with Oscar pretty much by subclassing the PaymentDetailsView class and calling the necessary functions implemented in the paypal.express.facade package. There is also a ShippingOptionsView that provides some linkage with Paypal shipping.
