Get a consultant! A competent consultant can spend a few minutes doing a job that would take the rest of us all day to complete. A store owner is better off spending time on customers, products and...

I am still waiting for the multiforcecleaner site to calculate my shipping cost and it won't let me checkout until its done. Personally, I prefer a checkout system that does not present an obstacle...

I had these kind of maddening problems with my old host (web.com) so I switched to Hostasaurus on strong advice from someone on this forum. I don't know Wolfpaw but it sounds like they don't do much...

As a business practice I would recommend giving affiliates the customer name and perhaps the city/state and nothing more. That gives them the ability to use a third party run a test purchase to...

Is the product description the best place to add the comments or would the header/footer work just as well?

Explaining what you found that solved the problem would make this a more useful thread for the archives.

Forced login effectively killed all reviews for us. We allow purchases without login so when we elected to force a login in order to review a product, the reviews dried-up completely. We now use a...

We have the same problem daily but not restricted to gmail/yahoo. Customer firewalls are the biggest problem. With AOL accounts it is long (sometimes 12-hour) delivery delays. Then of course you have...

I'll be very interested in seeing the Miva release. We do something similar that we call "Prepaid Training Vouchers" that started out life as the Sebenza Gift Certificate module but with lots of...

A few years ago we started telling our phone order customers that by agreement with credit card processors and for customer security we never accept credit card numbers over the phone and we never...

McAfee drives us crazy with bogus product reviews but at least they never put anything in a basket. Our Merchant account with BBT Bank required us to use TrustWave (which they offered for free) but...

Most days on this forum there is at least one PayPal headache reported by a merchant. The problems seem endless and I think a PayPal-only store looks like it is operated out of the trunk of a car. We...

I'm not sure if this will give you what you want. If you create a category called "Inactive" and assign all inactive products to it you can click the "Products" tab for that category and then the...

I bought the Sebenza Gift Certificate module 2-months ago and immediately discovered a bug. The developer has finally corrected the bug and I now need to update the module. When I try to install it I...

GregM you made my day! Quite cheap is a bit of an understatement. The module is FREE! and the monthly maintenance and support at $10 is also very fair.

Florida doesn't tax digital downloads so I...

The Netblazon seems equally pricy and like Avalara they charge for abandoned carts.

This may be a good time to move the business to the Cayman Islands.

There are two major problems with the "Do-It-Yourself" approach.


First is the never-ending research that is required. Here in Florida, there are 67 counties each with their own rate. Many of...

The the proposed "Market Fairness Act" is now pending before congress and likely to actually pass. Imagine that, Congress actually passing something. Its aim is to force online retailers (Amazon) to...

Discriminatory pricing is bad business. It may attract the customer who gets the good deal but at the same time it offends everyone else. When Disney offers a big discount to Florida residents,...

Using Related Products worked for us.

We faced the same problem with hosting several hundred very large .pdf documents. When we launched streaming video for four 3+hour videos each in 4 different bit rates that forced us to look for...

This is not a new or temporary problem. It is chronic and the whole purpose for my comment is to caution people to stay away from orphaned modules. The cost of modules is trivial when compared to the...

Emporium is where I always look first.

Of all the module suppliers that I use I have found Sebenza to be the most unresponsive of all. Ironically, they are also the only ones who charge an annual fee for support. I don't think they are...

I don't use Amazon for anything except the AWS Cloud. I was referring to the fact that Amazon does not accept PayPal and yet, somehow Amazon manages.
