Error! The shipping price validation failed.

We definitely want to keep backwards compatibility. Let me investigate it and I will release an update very soon.

We have applied a fix for this. Please upgrade to the new version v4.2.1 and you won’t see an issue with this. Sorry for any inconvenience.

That worked. Many thanks.

Please make future changes with caution… this was a scary thing that I’d imagine impacted a LOT of people’s income.

Great plugin though… so positive impact to many people too! ??

I’m having an issue where I was letting PayPal calculate the shipping and had the “Use PayPal Profile Based Shipping” checked. Now I’m getting “Error! Missing shipping price value. The price must be set.” whenever a product is attempted to be added to the cart.

Plugin stats say I’m running 4.2.1, but the plugin settings page says 4.2.0. Running new WordPress 4.5. Help?

I have released another update to this plugin (v4.2.2) that will fix this other issue with the old shortcode.

Thank you. This seems to have fixed the issue.

I just had this same error message come up when a customer tried to buy something. I am running your cart in conjunction with NextGen gallery and eStore NextGen Gallery Addon.

I commented out the shipping hash code check in the wp_shopping_cart file as a quick fix but that is not the proper solution.

I just updated to 4.2.2 of your software the other day and am using WP version 4.4.2

My shortcode in the Alt tag box of a typical gallery item is pasted below and I use java script to multiply the shipping amount by a factor depending on their var1 shipping choice. It has been working for fine for over a year.

‘Cage Hardware Kit $12.99
6 clip sets [wp_cart_button name=”Cage Hardware Kit – 6 clip sets” price=”12.99″ shipping=”2.00″ var1=”Delivery Method|Select Delivery Method|Arranged Pick Up|Ship To Ontario|Ship To Rest Of Canada|Ship To United States|Ship To Other Country”]’

We had to add extra security check in this plugin. If you use our shortcode then there is no issue as our plugin will take care of everything. However, you are using some custom coding. So your custom code that is creating/updating the price amount need to be updated so it can pass the security check that will be done by the plugin.

If you update the value of the “shipping” field from your JS code, then you need to update the value of the “hash_two” input field also (otherwise the check will fail).

The following is the PHP equivalent code of how the “hash_two” field’s value is generated. You need to do this in your JS code

$p_key = get_option('wspsc_private_key_one');//Read the key value from the system.
$hash_two = md5($p_key.'|'.$shipping);//Create the hash value with the shipping price.
$replacement .= '<input type="hidden" name="hash_two" value="' . $hash_two . '" />';//Add the hash_two value to the form

Or, I could insert the line of code below just before your new if != test to ensure it passes the test.

‘$hash_two_val = $hash_two_cm; // set two security hashes equal’

Perhaps you can tell me if there is some way to use your vanilla shortcode to achieve the following instead of using custom java script …

‘// shipping cost adjustment to default value is next
if(form_name.variation1.value==’Arranged Pick Up’)
{
form_name.shipping.value=shipping*0;
}
if(form_name.variation1.value==’Ship To Ontario’)
{
form_name.shipping.value=shipping*1;
}
if(form_name.variation1.value==’Ship To Rest Of Canada’)
{
form_name.shipping.value=shipping*1.388;
}
if(form_name.variation1.value==’Ship To United States’)
{
form_name.shipping.value=shipping*1.388;
}
if(form_name.variation1.value==’Ship To Other Country’)
{
form_name.shipping.value=shipping*5;
}’

Doing the following is probably the easiest solution for you (as it requires only a one line change to allow your customized code to work:

I could insert the line of code below just before your new if != test to ensure it passes the test.
