osCommerce Watch

To prevent potential problems with your live site, make sure you have paid attention to the following. Many live sites do not adequately attend to these issues.

• Have you setup shipping correctly? Have you tested the shipping amounts returned with addresses outside your country? Have you tested the shipping amounts returned with very large quantities? Also see:Shipping Calculation Problem?


• Have you checked that all pricing on your site is accurate?


• Have you removed languages you don't support? Is all information complete for each language you are trying to support?


• Have you removed the currencies you aren't supporting? Are your conversion rates accurate for the currencies you do support?


• Have you gone through all configuration options?


• Have you thoroughly tested modifications or contributions you have installed?


• Have you conducted test transactions to confirm that you will receive payment!?


• Have you secured the admin area of your osCommerce site?


• Have you checked My Store in Admin to make sure the settings (e.g. email addresses, etc) are correct? If you want to receive emails via Send Extra Order Details, has this been enabled?
