So I think in conclusion the rich snippets work but took a little while to show in the search engine.

This is a great option too!!

Nice one. Concentrate on that for now.

Great job Dave and welcome to CubeCart!! I believe @NiteFox is releasing his cool themes to us come 7th Feb. Worth waiting out for.

Did you upload the images first and update the file list. Only then can you import the spreadsheet otherwise the import won't find the image to assign. Also make 100% sure the file path is relative to the images/source folder. Say for example the image path is https://www.example.com/shop/images/source/folder/pic.jpg the value in the spreadsheet must be folder/pic.jpg . Anything else won't work.

Did you check the images/cache folder was writable? 0755, 0775 or 0777. Try changing the chmod value in that order recurring.

Downgraded PHP? CC will be fine so long as it's not PHP 8

Welcome!! Anything in your system error log? There is as link to this on the admin navigation menu. There may be a permissions issue or missing GD library...

Is it that crude or do search engines take into account microdata? I'd hope the latter.

I asked Richard to post here as my knowledge in this area is poor. The website already has valid Schema Markup for products with review data. https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremeracing.co.uk%2Fsummer-one-piece-base-layer.html I can't see any reason why Google can't show the rating on their listing but does anyone know much about the criteria for this to get it showing? No doubt this is a fairly hot topic for all CC merchants.

It's quite a complex landscape and I'm not quite sure we are comparing apples and pears here and the product and service offering isn't the same.

No fee for taking card payments for you? So who pays visa etc? Can't be right.

What do they charge and isn't there a monthly fee from your business bank account?

But what are you comparing to? All card processors have fees. Stripe: 1.4% + 20p PayPal: 1.2% + 30p Square: 1.9%

Isn't it 1.2% + 30p per transaction?

Not competitive compared to what?

Are PayPal's fees not competitive these days? I was under the impression they were pretty reasonable looking at the overall market.

What changs in the PP commerce extension would make it work for you? Just default option and position? Using commerce will increase conversions as opposed to the old fashioned standard paypal integration.

OK thanks for the feedback. I suppose the huge barrier with bank transfer is the huge upheaval of the customer actually doing it. Lost sales could make this a false cost saving.

Hi Steve, PayPal Commerce combines Express Checkout, Card Payments, Alternative Payments and credit options. Really it covers everything so in most cases it makes sense to use as the only payment system in CubeCart. Saying this you can have PayPal Commerce with other payment options but it still will show as default. To stop it showing as default you can edit the file modules\plugins\paypal_commerce\hooks\class.cubecart.display_gateways.php and simply change the line below to false. What is the particular situation here that required a different default payment solution if you don't mind me asking? 'default' => true I don't see why we can't add a setting for this to be default or not from the extension settings page to be honest.

Are you using the latest version of the extension?

Feeling very humble. Thank you on multiple levels. Other skins and extensions have just vanished so I'm hugely grateful firstly for dealing with this so professionally and responsibly. Secondly thanks for such a wonderful contribution to the open source community. I know for sure I can pass on my utmost respect and gratefulness from a significant proportion of CubeCart merchants that may not outwardly share it. I'd personally like to wish you all the very best with you new career move in the charity sector. I hope we can keep in touch.

I've worked with Chris internally on this and found a number of unexpected and undocumented 3D Secure responses which I believe is the root issue.

Do you have any firewalls or network security tools that could interfere?
