General Support / Re: Site can't check out
Last post by Basara - December 17, 2025, 04:05:12 AMHello.
It looks like an upgrade was started but the database was not fully upgraded. The error clearly shows missing core tables (*_field_groups and related tables), which are required for customer forms, login, and checkout to work.
This usually happens when an upgrade process is interrupted or only partially completed, leaving the database schema incomplete.
The safest solution is to restore a full database backup from before the upgrade attempt, then run the upgrade again manually and make sure it completes without errors. Please follow the manual upgrade instructions here https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/5275676/Upgrade+manually

Last post by Basara - December 17, 2025, 03:59:31 AMHello.
The most important point in your case is actually the current workflow. Collecting card details at checkout and then manually entering them into Stripe later is not safe and not PCI-DSS compliant, even if the data is handled carefully.
From that perspective alone, moving to the official Stripe Payment extension is the correct and safer choice.The Stripe Payment extension ensures that Card data is handled by Stripe, not your server

Last post by MHaz - December 17, 2025, 01:48:56 AMHi! My site just stopped working this past weekend. My customers can't log in or check out - nothing happens with either option. I tried to post the error log, but I got flagged as spam for some reason.

Support / Stripe Payment Extension v1.0....
Last post by Tony Chavarria - December 16, 2025, 07:48:43 AMHello,
I'm currently running AbanteCart version 1.3.2 and reviewing the built-in Stripe Payment extension (Version 1.0.3).
To clarify my current setup:
Up to now, I have not been using the Stripe Payment extension to process payments directly. Instead, I've been using an extension that collects card information at checkout, and I've been manually entering payments into Stripe on the back end. I'm now looking to streamline operations by moving to fully automated Stripe payment processing using the Stripe Payment extension.
Before making that transition, I wanted to check with the community:
Is Stripe Payment v1.0.3 still considered a reliable and appropriate option for AbanteCart 1.3.2 for direct card processing?
Are there any known caveats or limitations (Stripe API changes, SCA/3DS handling, receipt behavior, etc.) I should be aware of when moving from manual to automated Stripe payments?
If the extension is functioning correctly, is there any practical reason to upgrade or replace it, or is it reasonable to continue using it as-is?
Are there any Stripe-side changes, past or upcoming, that could impact this extension even if AbanteCart itself remains unchanged?
For context, this is a production store using Stripe for standard one-time card payments only (no subscriptions or advanced payment flows). Stability, compliance, and reduced operational overhead are the primary goals.
Any insight from developers or long-time AbanteCart users would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Installation and Configuration / AbanteCart Version 1.4.3 - Nov...
Last post by ixl - December 14, 2025, 06:33:21 AMHi,
I am using Novator, AbanteCart Version 1.4.3
Could someone advise what might be wrong with regards to sending from the admin pane, an email, using the "Send Mail" feature.
The emails are sent fine to end customers for orders and order updates but the manual email "Send Mail" feature reports of an error when sending...
(Connection error occurred. HTTP-status:403)
I cannot quite fathom what could be wrong if the other emails are working fine?
Could anyone help please?

Configuration / Re: AC 1.3.4 Favicon Help
Last post by Nicholas Viviers - December 10, 2025, 02:44:39 AMHi, I have replaced all of them with our Logo correctly resized and as PNGs as well but that has not fixed anything. The default favicon is still showing when searching for our site on Google for example.
I have replaced all of these images: https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/storefront/view/default/template/common/head.tpl#L36-L40 with our icon resized according to the original images and file names.
It has been likely around two weeks since the change so there should not be any caching problems.

General Discussion / Re: Which is better, WordPress...
Last post by PlaneSailing - December 06, 2025, 04:47:11 AMQuote from: BDLG on July 13, 2021, 06:33:26 PMThere is a lot to consider. WP was originally made for blogs, but has implemented many ways to make a website without the blogging features, but you will need to put in time to do that.
If you want an actual website with a lot of catagories, products, and a shopping cart and that is easy to learn Abantecart is the way to go. You can actually even combine them (Have a WP site and use Abantecart for the actual shopping cart). They are both going to take a little patience to learn if you are brand new to making your own site.
Personally I use WP for one page sites that just have info and are not selling anything, and Abantecart for ecommerce because I can customize it any way that I want and it is set up from the beginning to sell.
I hope that helps.
okay, thanks
