Trying to take advantage of the current sale and the store page won't connect to PayPal. Tried multiple devices too just in case. Any known issues there?

Is there a cap on number of items in the cart before it blows up?

7,296?

Just kidding, if you can't get it to process 1 item, then you will probably need to reach out to support directly, since they are the only ones who can fix it. https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals

I didn't have any problems this morning but I did have a problem trying to buy a single item that was 0.00.

I assume that was the PF2 race file. I successfully bought it and one other item thinking that was an issue. That worked. Then I went in and tried to buy the rest. Same issue from before though, i.e. unable to purchase. But I had a different error (something regarding headers?). I'll try again tomorrow from my desktop.

PayPal will not let you process a zero cost purchase. Pretty sure their is a disclaimer/note on the pages for those items. You can only get it free if you either contribute to the charity or buy something else.

Yeah, was just pointing it out in case it might be the source of the problem.

The page I saw said you cannot check out if your order total is $0.00. You must buy something with an actual cost along with the free items. Find something else you want to buy from the store, and add it along with all the free items, so that the order total is not zero.

Another solution is that the one page I saw with the free PF2e race module on it had a separate link to just download that file manually. This of course won't add it to your purchase history, so the launcher won't catch it for updates, as far as I know.

I would suggest allowing the updater to just download all free modules instead of requiring us to 'purchase' them, but then you'll have people who don't have a lot of pc resources get angry at all the clutter. (not trying to upset anyone, just explaining why its a good idea to require a 'purchase' of free items.)

Or check the "Yes, I want to participate" option to donate $1 to Save the Children on the "Confirm order" page - this makes your order $1 and so you can checkout OK through PayPal. This is a nice option as it gives $1 to charity for all my work on the Azarketi web supplement (and SmiteWorks match this donation at the end of the year too) - double bonus!!

I forgot about that option! :D

I believe PayPal also chokes if you have too many items in your cart at once. We had that with Devin Night Token Bundles and we had to break them up for that reason into multiple ones.

That was it... I have no idea how many items it was but it finally clicked after I dropped off one at a time... Went back and did a 2nd order afterward... That was an ordeal...
