Answer 1

You can set up a listener for the order_placed signal, and then do whatever actions you want there.

from django.dispatch import receiver

from oscar.apps.order.signals import order_placed

@receiver(order_placed)
def send_merchant_notification(sender, order, user, **kwargs):
    # Do stuff here

Alternatively, fork the orders app and override the OrderCreator class to inject additional logic when an order is placed.
