Thank you @bsmither, I'll stay hopeful

I got stuck. Still trying to unravel something.

Hi @bsmither, any thoughts?

Okay, thanks Al. I have your emails and will deal with it shortly. Appreciate your help

I'll message via email.

Thanks Al, so I assume this means we have to sign up for a support plan, which I'm not against but I need to know what's involved and what my costs are likely to be.

Hi Dave, so long as you can get us the validation file we can do that for you via support. More info here: https://www.cubecart.com/technical-support I hope we can work with you.

Hi Al, thanks for your quick reply Struggling with all of it really In our PayPal account we input our domain and download a file, but having watched an installation guide video and read instructions we are non the wiser about next steps There are 2 admins for our shop, neither of us are developers, we just learn as we go, however this has us stumped So in a nutshell we need the whole setup done for us, certainly for Apple Pay and potentially for Google Pay

Hi Dave, What part of the ApplePay setup are you struggling with? You have extra steps to verify the domain.

Hi We have the PayPal Commerce Platform installed in our shop, it works well. Within that platform it is possible to integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay. Google Pay seems straightforward, well as far as we've seen so far anyway. However, Apple Pay is quite involved. Is this something we could get some help with and what would it cost? Many thanks https://www.airbornesappers.org.uk/shop/

I am not sure how an out-of-the-box solution would perform the various steps you've outlined. Could you elaborate?

This plugin may be of interest: https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/related-products-manual-automated-recommendations Please note that it was last updated in 2018, so you should send a note to the developer to see if a version has been written for PHP8 and that it works for CC6.5.

I have doctored my current 4.3.4 store to advise international customers not to pay immediately, but to wait while I cook up a postage quote for them. Small errors in weight calculations can become quite expensive for international sales, so I like to charge a price that I know will cover the actual cost. I tell international customers to select the Direct Deposit payment option (I have modified the text to be ‘Direct Deposit and International Customers) to park the order. I find a shipping solution, add the shipping to their invoice, then send them an email guiding them to the parked order so they can pay. Is there an out-of-the-box solution for this in CC 6.5? I am trying to wriggle out of developing a new solution… Thanks for your help, Russ

Cubists! I am working like a navvy to move from CC 4.3.4 to CC 6.5. It ain't easy… One of my challenges is ‘upsell product’ migration. Many of my products (notebooks, the paper kind) have accessory products (dividers, business card pockets, bookmarks etc) that people will buy if they know they exist, but wont look for if they don’t already know about them. To assist my customers achieve greater product satisfaction (and to deliver larger sale, as a mere by-product, you inderstand) my product descriptions have a copied-and-pasted block that starts with “You may want to consider souping up your notebook with these fine accessories” and then lists a bunch of links relevant to this particular product. In my old store, I just copied and pasted the appropriate list into the books’ descriptions. This creates a bit of an overhead when I wake up at 3am having thought of something else that should be assigned to a particular product group - I have to track the all candidates down one-by-one and update them individually. This raises two inconveniences: The links will change when I move into my new store (they are currently of the form “catid=66” wheres presumably the new store will have seo-friendly URLs); There is a lot of duplication - there ate maybe six or seven variations on the optional products lists, but they are duplicated - every notebook description has its own copy so there are hundreds of dups. Can anyone suggest a solution to this? For item 2, it would be nice, for e.g., to be able to put something like an ‘include’ clause into the description that loads a shared document so all products that take the same accessories get the links at runtime from a single source document. The first problem is probably unavoidable, unless the 6.5 can handle olde-style “catid” references as well as the SEO-friendlys. But maybe it can? This would allow me some flexibility after go-live and potentially avoid a mess of broken links. Here’s hoping! Thanks in advance for your help, Russ

Do you have a friend who has an email address other than 'hotmail'? Invite that friend to create an account, create an order, then you cancel it. See if the friend gets the email.

I tested it thoroughly and indeed, only sends/receives the newsletter, any other email, such as order cancelled, etc, won't get sent/received. If I look at the email log, I can see the status as sent and it doesn't generate an error. It won't even end up in the spam/junk folder, really odd.

Yes

The code mod did the trick. Thanks a bunch! I see also that 1 day after doing my new install there is an upgrade version. Has the sales tax fix been applied to the upgrade or will I also have to modify the code?

Whats the problem with webp?

Prevent automatic conversion from JPG to WebP by adjusting settings or requesting an option within the application, enhancing user control.

This release of CubeCart not only resolves a number of stability issues found in the previous version but patches a minor security vulnerability. We are grateful and thankful to Julio Araujo for reporting this so clearly and responsibly. The security patch (GitHub issue #3570) prevents malicious .phar type files from being uploaded via the back office of the store. Please note that a bad actor would need to have successfully authenticated into the back office in order to take advantage of this vulnerability. On those grounds we do not consider this to be a significant threat. To patch this vulnerability please either upgrade to CubeCart 6.5.5 or amend the code in the security patch linked above.

Thanks @bsmither

Correction @bsmither, it only sends the newsletter test to any email, but, when specifically, canceling an order, etc, no email y received. Really weird.

@bsmither right on the money as always. SMTP Authentication = on and the right credentials and voilá. Now is sending emails left and right. Thanks!

The part in red is informational. It is not a response to any offense. It is very much like a sign on the door of a business: No Smoking. It is there to inform you, regardless whether you are or are not a smoker. I do see the User/Pass part of the conversation. but secureserver.net is not agreeing to what they should be. If you copy/pasted the username and/or password into these fields, the copy may have grabbed an invisible tab or newline character. So, blank those fields and then manually type in what they should be.
