Browser 'back' Button During Checkout?

Post by b3n » Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:06 am

Has anyone looked into the possible problem of customers using the back button during/following the Checkout process to step back and place multiple orders for items that should only be allowed once per user? This is the only way I can think that would let people order multiple items invalidly.

Thanks for the link s_ismail but I really want to disable the back button - for example, trying to use the back button during the eBay Checkout process causes an error, which is good (in a way!), but using it during the Able Checkout just seems to duplicate the order...

I'm personally more experienced with PHP based systems but is this a SESSION issue? Or even fixable through a SESSION flag to keep track of a user's current checkout position and abort the process if it's being attempted out of order?
