[solved] Invalid message on checkout

Hello, I have started with HikaShop today after abandoning VirtueMart (too many headaches!).
So far, so good - the config and creation of products has been straight forward and hassle free.

However 2 issues have come up:

1. I have a message at the top of the checkout screen saying Invalid Invalid, though the checkout process itself seems to work. Not sure if this is related, but I have noticed that when selecting Zone = Australia in the PayPal plugin that it doesn't save this selection.
Please note the attached screenshot img doesn't show any shipping methods (see next issue). I have since enabled the manual shipping methods option, which allows the user to proceed through checkout.


2. The plugin for Australia Post shipping method does not show at checkout, I have edited this and enabled it also.

Still having problems...

I have latest version (1.3.6)Hika Shop now installed.

1. "Invalid Invalid" message only shows when an address is added, if address deleted it just shows "No shipping methods available to your location". If user is logged in, everything appears fine right up until they add an address.
I have noted some "Invalid Token" issues on Joomla forums, but this is a different error message/issue.

2. AusPost plug-in, I have followed and checked all instructions from FAQ. This shipping method is not displaying as an option during checkout (only the manual one does). The zone for the AusPost plugin should be limited to Australia only, but this setting does not save (have tried both save and apply, but the selection is cleared each time).

thank you

Thanks for your ideas.

The invalid message is now gone, I changed in HikaShop configuration the default address type from Individual to All Customer Types and it is fixed!
The Australia Post module now also displays, but was calculating the parcel rates incorrectly - so I have disabled and will just use the manual one.

Please mark as solved, and thank you for your wonderful product. I will go back to Joomla extensions to review also.

Hi there,

at the moment I am testing your nice component. But I would not see this "bug" as closed. I am experiencing the same problem. But my problem is not gone. I created a product, I activated the manuell shipment method and created the price for the shipment. I will sell magazines, so in the product I gave the weight of 520g. In the shipment I gave it up to 1000g.

The problem is...when I put the product in the cart and want to checkout, the first time everything seems to run as it should, but when I add another product or change the amount of the product the message: "No shipping methods available to your location" appears. After that your are not able to proceed and no information about the shipment price is displayed anymore.

Only when I logout and login again I can again put one item in the cart and so on......

Second problem is: I asked myself what about the taxes. If I want to sell my book, I want my customers to know how many taxes are included in the price. In the configuration it says that you can switch to including, excluding taxes or showing both. In the product configuration you can define a price and a price including taxes. If I enter a value here in the one field the other field is also changed. Does this make any sense?

For what reason I define in the currency configuration a tax rate? I also created a tax specialy for book it is 7 % instead of 19 % what is normal in Germany.

If anyone could help me, I would be very happy.

Best Regards

Hi nicolas,

thank you for your quick reply. I also thought about that, because I set up a second shipment method(or at least I thought it might work) that goes from 1001g to 10000g that is for a standard parcel. So if a customer would choose 1 item the shipment is only 2,20 Euro for one magazine. But everything above 1 kg can be shipped with a parcel. Sometime a University may order 10 magazines, then the shipment mode should be automatically picked by the system.

In some way I tried it a minute ago. Then I thought ok, I will just click on the change adress button. After doing it the correct shipment method was right in front of my screen. But as I was happy and wanted to checkout....dideldidoing same message. Are you one skype by the way???*g*

PS: And thank you for the tax tip. I really did not know that. That spared me some trouble;)))

I am really impressed!!!

I went through all of your hints. And finally everything seem to work.

I actually wanted to show you my screen via skype, to help you helping me! But thank you for your input. It saved me a lot of trouble. The system is really perfect for my needs. Thank you for your help nicolas.
