Delay from "Place Order" to Confirmed Page

    Hi. Testing in sandbox mode, Paypal pro.

    After clicking “place order”, there is a good 5-7 second delay before the order confirmation screen appears. Is this faster in live mode? If not, is there anyway to display a message during that time. Something like “Processing order. Please wait…”

    Also, I’m using a different plugin (Really Simple SSL) to handle SSL, not woocommerce. My entire site runs on https, but I’m still being asked to enable forced SSL on checkout. I shouldn’t need to do this and I’m worried it will cause a conflict. This plugin is working for me in sandbox mode, but not currently in live mode. I assume it’s because of this message, but again I don’t think it should be necessary for me to enable this. Am I wrong? Will this cause any conflicts?

    Thanks.

    Are you working with DoDirectPayment in the sandbox? If so, that’s the problem with the slowness. For some reason that particular API call is very slow in the sandbox. It will be much faster live.

    As for the SSL, the plugin relies on the Woo setting to force SSL to be enabled in order for it to display the credit card checkout, so you will need to enable that option. If the site is already on https:// it wouldn’t even have to do anything.

    I would also recommend ditching the Really Simple SSL plugin. I’ve seen it cause lots of problems for people in the past. If you are getting messages on the site about some items not being encrypted then you just need to find the sources that are causing that and get them fixed. This way you have one fewer plugin running, too, which is always a good thing.

    Thank you so much for the response. Your support here appears to be top-notch.

    Since you mentioned it:

    I want the entire site to run https and am currently doing do without any issues with the Really Simple SSL plugin. Are you saying to ditch the Really Simple SSL plugin, and hard-code the https redirects into .htaccess instead?

    I considered using the “WordPress HTTPS (SSL)” plugin that seems to be recommended by almost everyone, but it appears that users are having issues with it also and it hasn’t been updated forever.

    Thanks again.

    Yes, my recommendation is to use .htaccess to force traffic through https:// on your site.

    Then it seems like most people use that plugin to easily eliminate any messages about content on the page that isn’t protected. It’s better to just find the sources of that error and resolve them.
