In the plan definition, auto_bill_outstanding=True and payment_failure_threshold=3 mean automatic charging, allowing three failures before a cancellation event is triggered.
The subscription scenario is entirely backend-driven: call paypal.subscriptions.create_subscription, iterate over the returned links to find the one with rel == 'approve', and redirect the user to it.
The PayPal client ID is not sensitive and can be exposed to the frontend; only the secret is sensitive and should not be exposed.
Check whether the status returned by the capture order is COMPLETED; if so, the order should be marked as paid in the local database and the cart cleared.
