Hi Devs,  Happy 2023!!

Please provide some clarity on several settings regarding compression levels,  I find the info you AbanteCart docs confusing as to the actually application.

1.    Output compression level -  the compression level  is applied when a customer on storefront makes a request.  The compression is applied to the entire page, not just images?  The HIGHER the compression setting the MORE compress is applied.
Do you have any stats on the increase on server at different compression settings?

2.   Jpeg Images Compression -   this affects ONLY thumbnails?  And is it applied the first time a thumbnail is generated and it remains compressed until cache is cleared?  Or is it each time the image is called?

thanks for the feedback

I took a quick look at your site Bulk Orders Category.   I believe you do not have your options set up correctly.

Take a look at this doc regarding options for a little more detail:

Did you update the webhooks within the PayPal Commerce page?  It just a link  that communicates with PayPal,  but it is important.

Out of necessity of getting a solution for our client after 2 months wait and some unnecessary problems for users of the Stripe Connector, we looked for a solution ,  it is posted https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/pull/1567

Perhaps,  when your  "at some point" time comes you may find a different solution, but for now ours is tested and it works.

It remains my opinion that as the provider of a 3rd party integration for Stripe,  I must remark  that 3rd party integration requires Partner status with Stripe and Partner status generates a revenue stream back to AbanteCart.  I have no issue with AbanteCart having the revenue stream,  my issue is your complete lack of caring about a reported problem  and not fixing it in over 2 months.  In essence shirking your responsibility  to fix issues on your app. 

Hi Core Devs -  this is now reaching a critical mass of issue.   Even though you made a GitHub on Nov 8,  and have ignored my plea on Nov 16 for a resolve  (I have clients that have customers who are quite upset with the order number only appearing in their card statements.)
There remains no change.

Today  I have an escalated issue from a client :
..having an issue with what is appearing on customers credit card statements for a description of their purchase. Well today  ( Jan 5) I had a customer who disputed a charge on an order the beginning of November and around Black Friday.  She said her statement just had a phone number on it.   I did reach out to my contact at stripe and he gave me this information.  It looks like it is set up correctly in stripe on my end so now I'm wondering if this is something to do with the website. 

Stripe support to my client:
Looks like you're using Stripe through a 3PI platform, Abantecart.com, so please reach out to them first (or navigate around their platform) to see if the statement descriptor is something you need to modify on through their platform.

As you can see it is the descriptor issue that I reported in Nov.

Please,  please  fix this!!

Usually if you clear the cart cache  they will display correctly.   In admin left pane,  under System > Cache
Might have to clear your PC too.

have you tried using the search box?  I just did using small  and large -  you have added those sizing into your product title (which is good)
and the search  brings up all of products that meet the search word.

You might want to change the language in the search box  or add a info box that suggests using the search

Additionally,  you don't seem to be using tags with in your products.  they can also add to the search results.

These are some immediate and no cost solutions for you.

there is https://marketplace.abantecart.com/elastic_search?keyword=search  in the MP  that will do what you want, you might look into it if the above is not enough for you.  This is not a free solution.
