Volusion Security Issue “Not Me”

Filed under: Volusion, eCommerce
Randy Harris @ 5:56 am

While working on a customer’s Volusion site, I needed to log in as a test customer who was set at one Discount_Price_Level, then log out, and see if the same code worked for customers who were not logged in.

Since the code I was testing involved displaying prices to customers based on level.  It should have displayed and calculated orders using the retail prices only to anyone who wasn’t logged in.  The same code should have displayed a discounted price to logged in users who had a discount price level set.

There was a problem. After being logged in as a user with a discount price level set,  I logged out using the link at the bottom of the My Account page labeled:

I’m done managing my account, log me out.

Volusion Shipping Weight

Filed under: Volusion, eCommerce
Randy Harris @ 7:11 pm

When entering the weight of a product in Volusion, you need to specify the weight using whole numbers for pounds and the decimal equivalent for any ounces.

For example: if a product weighs one pound and one ounce, you can not enter it as 1lb. 1oz., you need to convert the ounces to decimal values where ONE OUNCE = .0625 (lbs), so in the ProductWeight field you [READ MORE...]

Volusion Product Photos

Filed under: Volusion
Randy Harris @ 3:12 pm

This article is intended for Volusion ecommerce software users and contains information about preparing product image files for bulk upload when importing large amounts of products using product data prepared offline or exported from another source.

The information is also helpful if you are migrating from another ecommerce / shopping cart platform and want to save time converting your existing store’s product photos for use in Volusion.

For Volusion stores with only small number of products, using the Admin console to upload your product images is very easy. You simply create a product record, click the Upload New Photos link, and follow the prompts. Volusion will automatically size and store your product image file, and create the various sizes it needs to display on category, product and check-out pages.
