adding to cart does nothing.

Kim,

The SSL is for the entire domain. That has never been a problem with other applications, including shopping carts. The are other sections of the domain/website that involve the transmission of sensitive information. I darned well am not going to buy multiple SSL certificates for individual pages.

I don't see that the "error" that you mentioned IS an error, but this may be a mtter of opinion. I see it as a warning and, when someone says "OK", that should be that. If you think that this is the issue, them please tell me how or why this is happening...in other words, what specific part of Zen Cart is preventing additions to the cart (or whatever is going on internally).

As I said, I have used other carts under similar situations and have had no problems. But, there are aspects of Zen Cart that I like, particularly the EZpage features, ease of customization, etc.

Thanks.

Wow! Just had a thread I started closed because I had already asked the question and "had several responses"...when actually I got a total of two responses, one from a moderator, which told me exactly nothing! So, here goes again, but with a bit more info.

This is a strange one. Add to Cart does not work, but I had only one product, as a test. Clicking Add to Cart just takes one to the "Shopping Cart is Empty" page.

When I added a second product in the same category, both products were listed but now with "Buy Now" buttons next to them. I clicked "Buy Now" for one of them and Voila! it was added to the cart.

However, if one selects one of the products and click Add to Cart, that still does just shows the Shopping Cart is Empty.

Any idea why "Buy Now" works but "Add to Cart" does not??? I would assume that these are identical functions.

The site, by the way, is WoodlandsCondos.org just in case you want to check it out. I have temporarily removed the requirement for accounts to be approved upon registration. BUT, I believe it is still set up to require registration in order to buy

pretend we know nothing about your site ... where's the cart at? :unsure:

Sorry Linda. I had posted it elsewhere, but neglected to post it here.

I don't get this. Before I replied to this email, I had tried to "buy" something again, and the "Add to Cart" button worked. I mean, I THINK it worked. I am starting to "lose it" and I might have clicked "Buy Now" instead. It doesn't make sense that it worked once and not 15 minutes later!

Whatever I did, I was able to go right thru checkout, though I got an error of:

"(123) This account has not been given the permission(s) required for this request"

from Authorize.net. I assume this has nothing to do with ZenCart?

However, when I tried it again, before responding to this post, I was back to "square one"...Buy Now works, Add to Cart gives me the "Shopping Cart is Empty" page.

This is frustrating!

Anyway...the website is:

woodlandscondos.org

Any help would be appreciated. I feel like I am soooooo close!

The problem I am having is I do not know what to click to get to your products ... how about a little help on a more complete URL or something ... :unsure:

Ajeh,

the web address of the "store" is:

http://www.woodlandscondos.org/payments/

If you leave of "/payments/" you will be at the main website and you will not see the store as I am not putting a link in to the store until it is working.

OK. Once at the store, click "Pay Fees". We want to use ZenCart to accept payment of condominium fees. It will be equivalent to virtual products, so no shipping is required, etc.

Anyway, once you have clicked Pay Fees, just pick one of the models that is listed. You will see that clicking BuyNow adds the fee to the cart...but, clicking Add to Cart just gives you an empty cart.

Thanks,

That does appear to be with AuthorizeNet ...

You might recheck all of your settings on the Zen Cart payment module by saving your settigns, REMOVE, INSTALL and then reconfigure ...

Also check your settings with AuthorizeNet itself ...

Ajeh,

I guess I can try that. As I've said, "Buy Now" works fine. You can go right through the credit card payment and everything. But clicking add to cart returns an empty cart. In a worst case situation...is it possible to have a Buy Now button where it shows an Add to Cart button???

However you have your site setup it is confused between the secure and non-secure and the sessions are getting lost ... as Kim suggested this is managed by the cart for when you need it and don't ...

If you want all secure, then something is working incorrectly as I am still moving between secure and non-secure pages ...

For example, I click your link and go to the secure page ... that was a non-secure link ...

I click the Home link which shows before the click as non-secure ... but I go to a secure page ...

Because of this, the session is getting lost and cannot properly track itself to maintain itself so adding/buy now is intermittent and the cart is getting lost ...

Here's the thing, though, folks...First, I never chose to make part of the site secure and part not secure. I installed the certificate for the entire domain name, woodlandscondos.org

Also, I do not so an intermittant thing here. From my computer, Buy Now always works and Add to Cart never works! Why can't I simply have Buy Now show at every spot where Add to Cart shows now. Is that possible? If so, I would be happy and would not have to figure out what the problem is with Add to Cart.

My point is...if Buy Now works, but Add to Cart does not, why is the blame being pointed to my site, as opposed to ZC's workings???
