Plan:

1. Add Configuration: I have added a new field enable_payment (checkbox) to the Platform Profile model.
2. Enforce Logic: I updated the payment initiation view (initiate_payment) to check this flag. If disabled, users cannot start a payment.
3. Update UI: I updated the Shipper Dashboard to hide the "Pay Now" button if payments are disabled.
4. Deploy: Created migrations and restarted the server.

Changed (if any):

• core/models.py: Added enable_payment boolean field to PlatformProfile.
• core/views.py: Added a check in initiate_payment to block payments if disabled.
• core/templates/core/shipper_dashboard.html: Wrapped the "Pay Now" button in a conditional check.

Notes:

• Action Required: Go to Django Admin > Platform Profiles. You will see a new checkbox Enable Payment.
  • Checked: Users can pay.
  • Unchecked: The "Pay Now" button disappears, and direct URL access is blocked.

Next: You can test this by toggling the checkbox in the admin and refreshing your dashboard. What's next?
