Blank screen after trying to put LL badge or sticker in cart

[Vera]

Hi, have I been doing something wrong, or is this a general issue? I have been trying to purchase 2 LinuxLite case badges, but when I try to add to cart, it then directs me to what seems to be the paypal website in a new window, but the problem is that the web page is blank.  :-\ I've tried from my laptop, desktop and cellphone and the same issue persists (wow, I must be really eager to purchase the badges!)

1. Is this a general known issue? It happens at the point that items are added to cart, before any payment info is asked for.
2. Have I been doing the steps correctly? I went to this page: https://www.freecinema2022.gq/shop.html and selected 2 case badges and clicked on the blue "Add to cart" button. That's when I get the new window and blank screen. If I have been doing it wrong, please tell me.

It seems this issue is specific to stickers/badges. If I test out the process with a T-shirt or coffee mug instead, it seems to direct properly to an online store.

Thanks so much for any info anyone can provide.

Hello Vera,

have you tried to be logged in on Paypal website then you click add to cart ?

According to the web site,

You don't need a PayPal account. At the Checkout, select Check Out. This will allow you to choose payment by either Debit or Credit Card.

When you click "Add to Cart," a new browser tab opens, the URL is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr - and it's blank!  Perhaps the "add to cart" button is "broken?"

Thank you for notifying me about this. The issue is now fixed



Let me know how you get on please. (you may have to clear your web cache first)

Awesome Jerry!! Thanks, it works now! I'm glad you reminded me to clear browser cache first also. I placed my order just a few mins ago and I got a receipt via email, so it all went fine. Thank you for taking the time to fix that and to respond personally here. I really appreciate this.

FYI - as a heads-up (NOT a big deal at all), two things: 1. It took a really long time to move to  the paypal screen (browser was just sitting circling on the blue paypal padlock button for awhile before it moved onto the next step) - not an issue, just somewhat slower than I expected to pass on to the next step than most e-commerce sites. But it worked in the end!! That's the important thing!
2. Similarly, NOT an issue for me, but checkout charged me $6 for shipping but was advertised as $5 shipping on your shop site. It may be because I bought 2 badges, but I only wanted to mention to you it in case your checkout confuses someone else who is trying to buy these. So you might want to update the $5 shipping to read $6 shipping on your website (and/or make shipping charges clearer for more than 1 badge if that was the situation). It's still a very fair price for what it is, and I'm also planning making a direct one-time donation at a later point, so rest assured no complaints AT ALL from here, just mentioned this as a heads-up to you in case you get questions from other customers in future.

Thanks again, so excited about the badges  8) . I hope I didn't mess up your e-commerce inventory system with leaving lots of abandoned carts around of 2 badges while I was trying to buy them.

Thanks again for fixing that so quickly!

Thank you for your support Vera Your package will be mailed out within the next hour.

1. I have no control over that. As PayPal gets fancier with it's code, it gets slower
2. Shipping - thank you for letting me know, I've amended the shipping rate accordingly. What had happened was that NZ Post had increased its charges and I had updated the shipping cost in PayPal, but not in the Shop page. That is now fixed.

We appreciate your feedback, this is how we improve things for everyone
