[SOLVED] Checkout With PAYPAL (and bypass shipping costs!) Bug


Recommended Posts

I see I found another bug.

 

Sometimes, after fooling around, a PAYPAL graphical icon appears and, essentially, allows you to directly check out with paypal, where-in you are allowed to purchase the product for the listed price, no tax or shipping calculations!!!!

 

OUCH...

 

It's odd though. I have managed to get it to happen 3 or 4 times, but it does not ALWAYS happen, and I haven't figured out how to replicate the effect.

 

The "button" is that, a graphic, allowing you to click straight through from the product description, directly to paypal, bypassing all checkout procedures. I have both UPS and PAYPAL modules installed and active.

 

 

-update-

OK, this is how I replicate the effect.

In Chrome, I:

 

1. Clear all my browsing cache completely.

2. Go to the website: http://www.solarpanelsbc.com

3. Click on Solar Panels in top left corner

4. Click on the Text title of the 140 Watt panel to load that product page

( http://www.solarpane...olar-panel.html )

 

On my screen, there is a PAYPAL button allowing me to check out with PAYPAL directly!

Is this a bug, or just how I have it set?! It avoids all tax, shipping everything (or so it would appear... I can't actually continue, I only have one PAYPAL account, so I cannot "pay myself")

 

Odd.

 

[sOLVED] I think, see below

WOW this software is bad

 

looks like another problem at the forum (no solution there...)

OK...

 

I don't think this is so much a "bug" as it is strange.

 

When you go into the actual PAYPAL module, you'll see:

Express Checkout shortcut

Offer your customers a 3-click checkout experience

Yes

 

 

I had it checked as "Yes" and switched to "No"

 

it seems it may have solved this, but I am not totally sure, as this "effect" did not always seem to appear... in the first place (it seemed to be "occasional")
