This week we've seen reports of issues getting real-time shipping rates back from UPS's Rating API. We tracked the issue down to incompatible cipher suite support for TLS 1.2 between the server running BV Commerce and the UPS Rating API server. The intermittent nature of this problem seems to indicate that the change was made by UPS and was slowly rolled out to their server farm. Windows Server 2012 seems to be the most susceptible to this issue.

Without special configuration Google Analytics does not properly attribute revenue and transaction data for customers that use PayPal to pay for their order. This occurs because a customer is redirected from your site to PayPal (to pay for the order) and then redirected back to your site.

By default, BV Commerce will not place an order if the customer’s credit card is declined. In most cases, this is what the merchant wants, as the alternative would be to later contact the customer for payment information. However, there are some instances in which you might want such orders to enter into the system. For instance, in rare instances, the payment gateway that you are using may be experiencing technical issues (e.g. their servers are down), so that no credit card transactions are being accepted. In such a case, you may want to temporarily accept orders and then re-run the card from the admin once the payment gateway is working again.
