There are at least 2 things wrong with it IMO: 1) Not using django's URL conf to generate the redirect URL. This means that URL is hardcoded and duplicated. 2) Storing state unnecessarily in the session, ie, storing the current order in the session. Once the order is created, we have a single unambiguous URL to the order, that will not change. If you store it in the session, you can only refer to that order by having the 'right session'.
