Here's a problem that has taken me 3 days to solve with Shopping Cart Creator.
The issue was that after creating a new shop and successfully uploading the shop to my server, I then enabled inventory tracking. When uploading the shop after this, I was presented with a box telling me "could not update your store inventory. Check that your shop has been uploaded and your URL is correct". This I checked over and over, along with every setting i could play with and every input box filled or emptied with no success. These forums have several people trying to solve this issue and no answers that worked for me. It turned out that my URL to the shop was indeed correct, e.g. www.mysite.com/shop. however, the missing element was the address (your shop URL) requires http:// preceding it, so http://www.mysite.com/shop instantly cured the problem.

I hope this will save someone the grief, as i almost ran out of hair to pull out.

Best regards to you all

That http:// is definitely an important part of a url.;)

I see this was your first post so I don't know how several users could have been working on your question.
Glad you figured it out by yourself. Have fun with your new discovery.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Sorry, a slightly miss leading statement on my part, i meant that i'd found others with the same problem and no answers, No one else has been party to the issue.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
