[Django]-How can I store form input in a session in Django?

This is how I keep the session to use it on another view.

On your registration form :

def registration(request):
    initial={'username': request.session.get('username', None)}
    form = RegistrationForm(request.POST or None, initial=initial)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if form.is_valid():
            request.session['username'] = form.cleaned_data['username']
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('your_checkout_view'))
    return render(request, 'registration.html', {'form': form})

Once the username field is completed and the form submited it goes to the second view in which you can take the username that is stored in your session.

Just like this : 

def your_checkout_view(request):
    username = request.session['username']
    ...

From there you can take the stored username and do what you have to do.
