Deleted ecommerce/ app: models (Order, Line, Coupon), views, admin, 20 migrations
Removed Cybersource settings (ACCESS_KEY, SECURITY_KEY, PROFILE_ID, etc.)
Updated payment checks to return 0/False: get_payments_count_for_course(), get_number_of_attempts_left(), paid_but_missed_deadline()
Removed Order signal handlers from exams app
Marked payment-related management commands as obsolete

Pay buttons now show "Payments Discontinued"

selenium_tests/management/commands/snapshot_dashboard_states.py

Can we remove the Selenium tests? They are not run in CI, and I also tried running them locally but they consistently failed, even on the master branch prior to the Django upgrade.

Can we remove the Selenium tests?

@annagav my recollection is that the Selenium tests only ran on the courses portion of the dashboard which is now "unsupported." Is that right? Do you think we can remove them? Will it affect the remaining bits of the dashboard like the program letter?

yes, the Selenium tests are testing the dashboard side of things. I think we could remove them.

@Anas12091101 could you please add screenshots of where the removal affects the UI?

Anas12091101 · 2026-01-22T15:52:36Z

@annagav, this PR primarily focuses on removing the e-commerce and financial aid app code. Based on my understanding, the e-commerce UI logic is triggered when a user clicks the Enroll button on a CourseRow.

However, since we introduced a modal overlay to prevent user interaction with CourseRows in #5403, users cannot click the Enroll button unless the overlay is manually hidden via the browser’s dev tools.

Note: The Enroll button is only visible if the course run does not have a past end date.

courses/models.py

    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    live = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
-    financial_aid_availability = models.BooleanField(default=False, null=False)


Could we keep this?

annagav

Overall looks good. But I would say lets keep the financial_aid_availability on the model. Otherwise reversing this would break things.

LGTM 👍
