Sold products not added to the database on checkout

[lysander]

I think my problem may be twofold - so I would appreciate any guidance.

 

1) I am sending my customers to EPDQ to purchase their products and therefore do not carry any sensitive info on my server. So I am assuming that I can use OSC without SSL - and in the configure.php I have this set to false.

 

Is this the correct way to set up this aspect?

 

2) I can add products to my cart etc - but even though the process completes via EPDQ the cart does not empty and there are no orders in the Orders table in the database.

 

ARE These two related?

 

Can someone tell me at which point in the checkout process the products are added to the Order Tables?

 

many thanx

When you send the customer to epdq the information wont be getting sent back to your site, so in essence your website just thinks the user has left the site without checking out...

 

this is what modules are there for, look in the contributions bit of downloads on this site, there is an epdq contribution there, but it doesnt work anymore :(

thanx for the response!. I realised after much head scratching that my site wasn't calling Checkout_process - because as you point out - it never gets there!

 

So simply the EPDQ encryption now sits in checkout_process which completes the cycle and then directs to EPDQ for payment - which I know is back to front but all my products are virtual and you'll only get them by being redirected after payment.

 

The EPDQ Contribution is 'broken' but it's not that far off. The problem seems to lie in the string that is returned from encryption. Barclays supply their own PHP code to do this, so I have connected using that and I now have a mix of the 2 working.

Where would we all be without your work!!!!

 

Although I know there are many issues with it not working - the ground work of your contribution certainly saved me weeks ( if not months) of work.

 

For my site (and the thread of this post) I was struggling with the checkout loop not completing - but this has now long been solved!!

 

I have even been able to help Tim Darracot to connect his site to ePDQ with a combination of your work and mine - well oK mostly yours.

 

If you are looking at updating your contribution - and want some feedback please contact me.

Hi,

 

I'm a designer who has ended up with the job of making a shop. OSCommerce looks like a good option, but I'm not really a programmer. I have some understanding of PHP but it's pretty limited.

 

My client wants to use ePDQ and I've just been looking at the contributions section at the payment module currently on there.

 

Is there a newer version around that is fully functional? I'm afraid that I don't have the technical skills to add any functionality that may be missing and I'd like to make the whole process as smooth as possible! There is mention that there is a problem with sending addresses, what impact does this have? Will the payment not go through or does it mean that there will be no posting address for the client when it does?

 

I think what I'm asking is, will the current contribution work for my client?

 

Thanks for spending your time on this!!

One of my clients needed the ePDQ module fixing so I fixed it.
