AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I don't believe the slowness is caused by Shipper or AbleCommerce. No other Shipper/AbleCommerce customer has reported slowness (and there are several that routinely process 100's of orders per day). I believe it is being caused by your database or web server. Shipper makes many small web service re...

Is there something I am missing? The only "integration" I see is the ability to get rates. The rest of the process appears to be manual. Many vendors call live rates "integrated" and live rates + tracking "fully integrated". If the store also provides vendor specific shipping labels, that is always...

I had no response because the question was so broad. I suspect people might have tips if you shared some specific details: What version of AbleCommerce do you have? What version of database server are you using? Has a database admin looked at tuning the database recently? Is the database server on t...

1. Is the shipping data pushed or pulled from AC7 database? 2. What is the level of integration between AV7 and these products out of the box? 3. Can Encidia and Shipper 3 work with multiple AC7 storefront databases. 4. What is your experience to customize these two packages.(Lower priority). My ta...

There are probably a million (said with Dr. Evil from Austen Powers movie accent) PC based envelope addressing options. If you find one that does mail merge with an SQL database (e.g. any Word or Access thing), you can probably use it. Just connect it to your AbleCommerce database.

I'm sorry Chris. That is definitely not my area of expertise. I don't know where to start looking.

You will need a server expert to remote in and take a look.

Mike, That plug-in is a db HOG when you copy the settings from one shirt to the rest in the same group. But in normal operation (i.e. front-end browsing or any other admin function), you should not even notice it is there. First check to see if the slow-downs correspond to times when someone was upd...

I did attach the database to SSMS--is that the problem?? If I don't attach it, how am I supposed to use SSMS to access the database? (I am a programmer, not a DBA, so a lot of this is new to me). I have no idea if the AC connection string has "AttachDbFilename" in it, as the connection string is en...

Are you connecting to the *.mdf file directly from either AC or SSMS? For example, does the AC connection string include "AttachDbFilename"?

POS terminals are physical devices used to swipe cards. For example, http://www.merchantexpress.com/Hypercom_T7Plus.htm They often support keying in the credit card number (such as the one pictured). Many ecommerce merchants choose to collect credit card numbers from online sales, but process the ch...

Documentation: Data Access Layer (the AbleCommerce Wiki has quite a bit of documentation you may find useful)

Shipper integrates with AbleCommerce very well and you can print UPS, FedEx, and USPS labels with or without postage. You can also print and email branded invoices, packing slips, coupons, brochures, and more; generate management reports; and analyze your order/shipping data. If you want a browser ...

Make sure the target framework is 3.5 (I think 3.0 works too).

Use Web Site Project, not Web Application Project.

Hello Jill, I have worked with both Endicia and AddressDoctor. Both work well. I have never integrated either into AbleCommerce, but it would not be hard. Endicia's service is domestic US only. Their address verification/standardization service is integrated into all of their products, but is also a...

I read in a post that you could remove dll's for payment processors that aren't used except google and paypal. I don't remember anyone saying to remove shipping gateway dll's. I was going to go ahead and rename them as suggested but then I got another error and this time it was for CommerceBuilder....

I vaguely recall that you can delete DLL's that you do not use. Try renaming them with a .BAK extension to see if the errors go away and if the site continues to run. "Replication procedure" just means, "tell us what to do to reproduce the errors". If the errors occur every time any page is loaded, ...

There are a LOT of hits if you search Google for 0x80131418. Basically the error is exactly what it says: permission error==the Windows user running your site does not have permission to use CommerceBuilder.FedEx.DLL or one of the DLL's that CommerceBuilder.FedEx references. Permission errors like t...

If you have access to the database, delete the value for CommonSiteMap_SiteMapDataPath in the ac_StoreSettings table. Then go to the Site Map page in admin and save the settings (you don't have to change anything). That will force the path to be recalculated.

I don't know where 53.5 came from, but your dimensional weight calculation is a bit off. Dimensional weight is L x W x H / 194. One of the dimensions must be multiplied by 50 because you have 50 items in the package. So assuming you taped all 50 boxes together with no empty spaces, the dimensional w...

The estimator has changed over time. Uzair was testing 7.0.4 and it seems to work the way you want.

The default Shipping Estimator in 7.0.3 on Basket.aspx only has fields for Country, State/Province, and Postal Code. The estimates I see with just those 3 fields typically differ from the final cost by 10% to 20%. The final cost is--of course--calculated using the complete address. Based on your tes...

Try it with FedEx methods. FedEx rate quotes are more accurate when you supply the street address and city (i.e. during checkout).

If the IP turns out to be PayPal, then it is probably PayPal trying very hard to let you know about a payment. If you have your PayPal account set up to send IPN's to your site when a payment is received, then it will do that for every payment you receive, even if the payment is not associated with ...
