Hello.
For the most stable operation with both Stripe and PayPal, we recommend using AbanteCart 1.4.4 together with the latest payment extensions.

Regarding "Act on Behalf", this functionality is not related to the PayPal onboarding process. We have never provisioned or implemented "Act on Behalf" to allow merchants to take payments through PayPal on behalf of another account. Therefore, any onboarding or account connection changes would not affect this functionality.

Hello
You should update to AbanteCart 1.4.4 so it works with the latest Stripe integration. Could you clarify what kind of "difficulty" your client is experiencing?

From your screenshot, the site isn't just missing the login field, the whole storefront looks broken with no CSS stylesheets loading.
That points to a deeper issue.
Start by checking your server and AbanteCart error logs. Verifying that CSS/template files are present and accessible.
The missing login field is only a symptom, the real problem is that the site isn't rendering properly at all.

Hello. What products do you want to send via Media Mail?

Hello.

First of all, please note that the "plus sign" icon is actually a drag-and-drop field, and it can be used to upload new files in bulk.

There is no standard setting to make the "Resource Library" tab the default tab in this popup.

As an alternative, there is a third-party extension that may help with bulk/automated downloadable product media handling:

Quote from: archerjameson on May 27, 2026, 03:52:27 AMBased on the USPS reply, it appears Abante Cart indeed uses the older WebTools API. Regarding migration plans to the newer USPS API, you'll need to contact Abante Cart's development team directly, as I cannot confirm their internal roadmap.

Hello.
That is not correct. USPS in the latest AbanteCart version uses the new USPS API, not the older WebTools API. Please make sure you are referring to the current/latest AbanteCart release when reviewing USPS integration details.

Hello.
On the screenshot the "Product Option Value" tab is active and current tab

Hello
It seems like a cache-related issue. Version 1.3.2 is very outdated, and I believe this cache issue was fixed somewhere between AbanteCart 1.3.3 and 1.4.4.

The best solution would be to upgrade AbanteCart to the latest stable version. Please make a full backup of both the database and all files before attempting the upgrade.

As a temporary workaround, you can try setting up redirects in your .htaccess file so the store is always accessed through the correct HTTPS domain, not through the server IP address or an alternative host.

For example, redirect:

http://your-server-ip/
http://www.yourdomain.com/
http://yourdomain.com/

to one canonical URL, such as:
https://yourdomain.com/

After adding the redirect, clear AbanteCart cache and, if used, any server/CDN/browser cache as well.

Hello.
Products may also be missing from Admin if cache is outdated, or if the product is not assigned to the store view you are checking.

Those names are stored in the product description table. To check them in the database, use your own AbanteCart table prefix from system/config.php (DB_PREFIX) and run
SELECT name
FROM prefix_product_descriptions
WHERE name LIKE '%( Copy )%';
but it is unsafe to delete only from product_descriptions, because products are linked across several tables.

Hello.
In AbanteCart admin, search for "( Copy )", select all, and remove. Direct database edits are strongly discouraged.

Hi RCodiaDavid,

Thanks for taking the time to write this up and share the fixes you tried.

Before we can say much about the cause, we need a few more details about the actual PayPal transactions. PayPal Commerce can route payments through different methods depending on the customer and country, so this may not be the same path for every order.

Can you please check one of the affected payments and let us know:
1. what country the customer was from
2. the order currency
3. (important!) which payment method was actually used in PayPal, for example Sofort, Venmo, Pay Later, EPS, SEPA, Bancontact, card, PayPal balance, etc.
4. whether Product Page Checkout Buttons and Cart Page Checkout Buttons are enabled in your PayPal Commerce settings or you are sure the customer went through the normal full checkout flow
5. whether the cart had products requiring shipping, digital products, or both

The payment method is especially important because, depending on the method, the customer may even be asked to scan a QR code and complete the payment on their phone, so it is crucial to know which payment method was used.

The payment method can be visible in the PayPal transaction details. You can also check the logs in your PayPal developer account at developer.paypal.com to see if there are related API or webhook records for those transactions.

Once we know these details, it will be much easier to reproduce or narrow down where the checkout flow is breaking.

Hello,
Thanks for reporting this and for testing the new USPS extension in 1.4.4.
Regarding your first point: Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail, and Library Mail are special USPS package services with additional eligibility requirements. They are included in the extension for merchants who specifically need to ship those types of products, but they will not appear as options for regular products in the cart.

As for the duplicate USPS Ground Advantage option - we are aware of this behavior during development. It seems to be related to how the USPS API currently returns Parcel Select services. In some cases, USPS is returning Ground Advantage under both Parcel Select and Ground Advantage, which results in a duplicate entry. Unfortunately, this is not something we can control on the AbanteCart side. The workaround is to disable the Parcel Select method in your extension configuration, which should prevent the duplication.

We always advise contacting USPS support directly to consult about available services. Please let us know if they provide more details or if they add new services for regular products, so we can keep the extension aligned with their offerings.
Thanks again for your feedback and for helping improve the extension.
