Best way to automate shipping

[flit]

Hello All,

I am looking for the best way to plug satchmo on my backend system and update satchmo db with shipment and tracking number

My problem:

User buys product --> does payment --> My internal processing --> mark as shipped and sent track number

I know that after a successful payment we can hook on satchmo_store.shop.signals.order_success to use any function.

Is there any best practice for doing my internal and mark the order as shipped and add the tracking number?

What I was thinking :

1. Hook on satchmo_store.shop.signals.order_success;

2. Do my backend processing;

3. Call some function to update (update_shipping in utils??)

or

Write on models/db the updated information.

What is the best pratice for that? anyone has any example?

Thank you
