@s-aga-r From the standpoint of coordinating this PR in connection with it's dependent frappe/payments#53 this PR is fully backwards compatible and should be merged first in order to enable meaningful test execution on frappe/payments#53, at all.

Nonwithstanding amendments that will be required to this PR upon further insights gainer through future work on frappe/payments#53, this PR can be deemed at least "ready to review", if not "ready to merge (and iterate later)".

I appreciate your (hopeful) help and collaboration. Thank you in advance!

@s-aga-r Could you help with a commitment to engage on this one? My situation is that I want to contract with a well renown Frappe Partner for custom development and it's absolutely essential for us to be able to leverage the revised payment integration that this PR prepares on the ERPNext side. I promise, I'll leave you alone with my heavy handed contributions for a while after this. Sounds like a deal? 😃

@ruthra-kumar can you take this up?

@ruthra-kumar can you take this up?

As long as the changes are small and easy to reason about, I can help with review.

@blaggacao This PR is too big to work with. I would suggest breaking it into smaller, atomic changes.

ah! Ok, this explains all :-) Thanks for your comments in this case. It's marked "Pending" which means it's still in a sort of "staging" area and isn't visible to anyone else other than you. You'd need to click on "Finish your review" or something like that somewhere.

#42160 is necessary to effectively leverage frappe/frappe#25952 for frappe/payments#53
