Shopping cart offline for a few days

1st Nov 2018

Many apologies all round, but I've had to take the Baccus shopping cart offline for what I hope will be a very short period.   Paypal recently 'updated' their gubbins and in doing so changed things which caused a number of issues with our (and many other) shopping carts.

In effect this means that:

  • The customer pays and we receive the funds.
  • However, the customer does know that the transaction has gone through.
  • Our system does not update the order to 'paid' status
  • Neither of us gets a confimatory email of a completed order.

As a result, although the order has been successfully done, no-one knows this!

The Tech-Chap is busy scurrying around his Hamster Wheel of Ultimate Solutions and what passes for 'normal' round these parts will be reinstituted as soon as is possible.
