    Magento 2 error

    Thank you for your help - much appreciated. In fact, I have just found that if I use HOLD from the action menu on the main order page, it works okay. It only creates the error if I try to use HOLD on the individual order page for some reason so hopefully I can just use the first menu in future...

    Magento 2 error

    Hi everyone We recently upgraded to magento 2.4 Things working reasonably well for past couple of weeks - although backend is extremely slow compared to our M1 installation. However, when trying to place an order on hold today, I got a page of error information which began with: 1 Exception...

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    I have had some issues with developer unfortunately so it's a pretty tense relationship at minute. Rather than ask and have him say that is not a "fault" I just thought worth checking first if anyone on forum knew offhand if M2 includes that as kind of failsafe so you can't ship if showing zero...

    Any recommendations for VoIP - working from home and the office

    Another thumbs up for Voipfone from here - it was recommended on here when we were looking for business phone. Can't say we need all the facilities that you mention but it is well-priced, quality is good on voice calls and I can forward whenever needed. Bought our desk phone from them too -...

    Life as being self employed

    [Why would somebody buy a boat radio at 2.30am?. Good question - I often wonder about people who buy dog wetsuits between midnight and 4am. Sometimes it's a customer in a different time zone but often from the UK so I figure maybe they are working a night shift somewhere and shopping on their...

    Shipping extension

    Hi, Just thought I would update for anyone else who is upgrading to M2 and interested in the outcome. We created a shipping table in excel (took a while) and developer uploaded it. Seems to work really well - except that dummy here got a main UK weight class wrong so the developer is going to...

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Thanks @zigojacko - we have now upgraded to 2.4 The pdf issue (random date on printed invoices) is solved - whooohoooo. On the issue of being unable to ship, I haven't yet tried to ship an item that has available quantity (so assume that will be okay too) but I have tried to ship an item that...

    Best Postage Solutions For Small E-Commerce Store Selling UK & Overseas

    This is interesting. We have been using RM click and drop and printing labels. Thought about OBA but our parcels range in weight from 85g to about 750g average and I thought we would have to pay based on heaviest so great to know you take the average weight. Since many more are 85g I am...

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Thanks again - migrating to new server overnight and then hopefully 2.4 installation will go ahead. Developer has asked 3 times if I can ensure the hosting company installs elasticsearch properly. Not sure if that's a regular problem - I would have thought you install and that's it (but of...

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Thank you once again! I followed the link you gave to patches but unfortunately I couldn't see one relating to the pdf issue. Developer says it is a default magento issue and only fix is to move to 2.4 :( Thank you so much for all your advice!

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Thank you again for your help. I seem to be going around in circles. Hosting company is now saying we need another upgrade to our plan for 2.4 - although we upgraded for 2.3.5 Developer says patches apply to M1 and it's a different system for M2 - I have googled and definitely found mention of...

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Great - thank you once again. We asked in our brief for latest version of M2 so I will have to check what date 2.4 was released. There again, it's probably a bit like iphone new software. People avoid it for a while till bugs have been sorted :)

    Unable to ship an item on magento 2

    Thank you ! Yes, that worked - although I didn't change anything. I just saved the page again as you suggested. Now I just need to solve the other problem - invoice date is correct on screen but when I print the actual invoice, the date which is printed on it appears as a distant future date and...
