Django redirecting - django

Question

I can't figure out why my redirection after paying doesn't work.
I'm trying to display the thank_you template once the user has paid via Paypal. My code all works other than the final render of the thank_you template (I receive the email and see the 'Made it' print statement).
Urls:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
app_name = 'checkout'
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.checkout, name='checkout'),
path('thank_you', views.thank_you, name='thank_you'),
path('order_success', views.order_success, name='order_success'),
]
Views.py:

if not bag:
messages.error(request, "There's nothing in your bag at the moment")
return redirect(reverse('products:products_list'))
order_form = OrderForm()
bag_products = []
for item_id, quantity in bag.items():
product = Product.objects.get(pk=item_id)
name = product.name
id = product.id
bag_products.append({'name': name, 'id': id, 'quantity': quantity})
bag_products = json.dumps(bag_products)
# Attempt to prefill the form with any info the user maintains in
# their profile
if request.user.is_authenticated:
profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=request.user)
order_form = OrderForm(initial={

print("Made it: ", request.session)
return render(request, 'checkout/thank_you.html')
else:
print("Diverted it: ", request.session)
return render(request, "404.html")
Relevant Checkout.html Javascript:
function completeOrder(){
let url = '{{ success_url }}'
const request= fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers:{
'Content-type':'application/json',
'X-CSRFToken': csrftoken,
},
body:JSON.stringify({"bagContents": bagContents, "jsonData": jsonData} )
})
}
onApprove: (data, actions) => {
return actions.order.capture().then(function (orderData) {
const transaction = orderData.purchase_units[0].payments.captures[0];
return completeOrder()})
}
What's confusing is that the GET request for the thank_you template is made and gives a 200, it just doesn't move from the checkout page?
[24/Jan/2023 08:43:02] "POST /checkout/order_success HTTP/1.1" 302 0
Made it: <django.contrib.sessions.backends.db.SessionStore object at 0x7f75867dcb50>
[24/Jan/2023 08:43:03] "GET /checkout/thank_you HTTP/1.1" 200 6287
Any help would be much appreciated!
