Brilliant I have switched over everything to https (including all embedded links) and now it works!

Thank you,

Hi,

I am using abantecart as an embedded store in my website and have set it to open as "same page Modal Dialog".

I would also like to enable SSL to make sure customer data is protected. The https connection seems to work if I use the embedding options "open in new page .." and https with secure connection is shown in the browser for my account and checkout pages.

However when I use the "same page Modal Dialog" the connection is not secure, I assume because my site from which the modal dialog is opened is not using a secure connection?

I would be happy to switch over the whole site to SSL and redirect any visitors to https right away. However, if I try this then the embedded links do not work anymore at all? (i.e. if i load my page as https://... then none of the embedded links open, no matter what embedding option i choose).

Is there a way to make this work? Do I need to change the embedded links to open them from the a secure connection?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Philipp

Thanks again for the help - I have done some more work on this and found that the two problems are unrelated.

The error message I receive needed a line of code updated as described here: http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php/topic,5664.msg24484.html#msg24484

The fact that the payment extension struggles with guest checkout customer_id being 0 still needs to be resolved but is an issue for the extension provider. I managed to temporarily avoid the problem by simply not writing to the database in question if customer_id is 0 - that lets people check out just fine as the database is not crucial for payment.

Thanks again for the help!

Thank you,

Yes I am using 1.2.10 updated from 1.2.9, so I will go and check if anything has not updated correctly, thanks for pointing me in this direction.

Can I ask: Should the "Guest Checkout" customer_id always be 0? -Or does this indicate that there is something wrong with my Abantecart installation?

Just to make sure I am not trying to fix the wrong part - if customer_Id should always be 0 when checking out as a guest I guess I need to go dig in the payment extension.
(It is the paid stripe extension - I have already contacted the developer)

Hi

I have been using AbanteCart for a while and everything works great, thank you for the great product! Today I unfortunately encountered a problem I need your help with.

I am using the cart embedded in my webpage and when I select "Guest Checkout" (on the embedded login page after the shopping cart) and then click "Continue" i get an error message which reads "Unknown error encountered. Please try again!" If i click "Guest Checkout" again and press submit it works and I get to the next page (Guest checkout page 1)

However I am then encountering a problem with payment later on as the assigned customer ID for a guest checkout is always 0 and I am getting an error messages from the payment database saying the customer entry already exists (I am using the stripe payment extension)

If i register an account the customer id is assigned as an increasing number for each account and everything works.

I assume the error I see and the fact that the customer ID is always 0 are linked but am not sure - is there a way to assign a unique customer ID for each guest checkout or should I try to modify the payment app to not rely on customer id as the primary key in the database?

Any insights would be really appreciated, thank you!
