AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hi Mazhar, I currently have your great updated ContactUS control installed on a regular AC Webpage which works great on a PC, however I've not been able to figure out how to get the ContactUS control to display in a mobile friendly way. It does render and function, but in a tiny, squished, desktop m...

Hello All, PayPal will be stopping support for SSL 3.0 on December 3rd! From the previous comments "We don't do any SSL version specific handling in our codes", I'm assuming this does not affect our AC integration with PayFlow Pro and regular PayPal processing? I just got a call and email from a Pa...

Thanks Nadeem,

This will work. Now I'm off to do a search and replace. I don't know why I didn't see this obvious solution. That's what is great about support forums, a different set of eyes results in either a better or simpler solution.

Hi Nadeem, Yes, the site does detect and display mobile pages properly. However, the relative links to my technical PDFs on the mobile pages are 404'ed. They are showing a URL of Domain.com/mobile/assets/ when the links should be redirected to Domain.com/assets/ My efforts to use the dynamic redirec...

Well, at least I'm not an idiot. When I run the redirect test I get this: Enter a URL below to see how it is impacted by redirection and rewrites and to find the actual target script. Request Url: * YOU ARE LOOKING FOR 'MOBILE/ASSETS/PDFS/HETTICH/INTERMAT-MOUNTING-PLATE-SPECS.PDF': /mobile/Assets/Pd...

After moving from AC7.07 to AC Gold R9, I need to redirect links to technical PDF's for the mobile site. We have a URL like: mobile/Assets/PdfS/Hettich/Intermat-Instructions.pdf which needs to go to: Assets/PdfS/Hettich/Intermat-Instructions.pdf In the above example "Hettich" is the manufacturer and...

How about creating a kit of 12? Customer orders 2 kits they get 24, ect.

Hope this helps.

I like option #2. First, all pages should be optimized for performance first, user experience second. I say this because if the page is too slow to load, the customer will not wait around to have a good experience. A dedicated table would be easier to update the data with non-Ablecommerce tools/code...

I enabled GZip today and got some improvements, but seems my DB is the weakest link now. Will tackle that problem this week. Anyway, my Google feed did not insert tonight, anyone else have this problem after enabling GZip? Do I need to exclude the pages that create the feed? Site is running AC 7.06 ...

Katie, I don't have Gold installed yet. I have 2 licenses, but have been waiting, as a few features I wanted weren't added until R6. I will start start using these with R7, and upgrading my current 7.06 site.

Thanks, maybe someone else can submit the feature request for me.

It would be nice to have this integrated into R7 footer. My Adwords agency has been nagging me to get the remarketing code installed. It's a bit too complicated to me to. Could this be combined with the Google Analytics code?

I believe if the customer uses the full checkout and selects paypal, they come back to the receipt page. This is not the case with the Paypal express checkout, they never get back to the receipt page.

Correct me if I'm wrong please.

I'd love to disable PayPal Express checkout in the Mini-Cart too, just for the commercial shipping issue. I'm tempted to disable the mini-cart just for this purpose, much as I like the visibility it gives the customer.

Good luck, I've complained about this for awhile.

See this thread, goes back to Jun 08, 2010.

This is a bug that goes back to at least 7.06. Nobody will address the issue. Very disappointing. I guess they don't know how to fix it. I have not tested this, but it seems if you go through the full checkout process then choose Paypal payment method, it uses the residential rates, but if the custo...

Has anyone updated this for 7.06, 7.07, Gold? I'm not sure was this was never integrated into the new versions of the shipping dlls that have been released.

Maximum request length exceeded.

Makes me think the file size is too big for the default settings, I'm no expert though.

I'd try a real small size photo just to test, if it still throws the error, it must be something else.

Good luck

Thanks Naveed!

USPS got it changed over to production server, and is working fine.

I accidentally deleted my old USPS user id, so I created a new one. I'm getting this error message. Running in test mode to this URL http://stg-production.shippingapis.com/ShippingApi.dll (I tested the one in USPS email too) I thought test mode worked right away? or does it take some time. I have "U...

This may not be exactly what you're looking for... But it would be nice to have a report that would show what customers bought a specific SKU, between dates. Should show order number and quantity too. For instance we had a manufacturer put the wrong item in the box, it would have been handy to pull ...

Google analytics can record searches too. Just go through and setup Site Search. As I recall all your really have to do is tell it what the search results url is (Search.aspx?k=) and it will keep track. In GA look under the "Content" menu bar.

Good Luck

Thanks so much for this! I'll reiterate for those not familiar, the rich snippets will help your page stand out in the search results pages. Also, I believe the search engines will reward those sites using rich snippets with a higher listing in results pages. It was the search providers that formula...

Hi Mazhar,

Could you put this in as an fix/feature in R5, I believe most of us would consider this to be the correct behavior. This method should be the default.

Katie, Can you tell everyone how that is labeled/displayed to the customer? Does it say "Handling"? No it just reiterates the shipping method and the customer is going to call and ask why they got charged twice for shipping. Plus, that method still doesn't allow you to fine tune the shipping cost ch...

When Joe set this up for me in our 7.06 store, we had the default set to the cheapest valid method. If the customer flew through the checkout process without reading, they would get the cheapest method. If they paid attention, and preferred a different method, it was opt in to pay for a more expensi...
