There have been reports of some errors with our online shopping cart. Fortunately, we have a couple of workarounds.
- Some people have trouble specifically with ordering T-shirts — for some reason, instead of showing a shopping cart for them, the page simply refreshes. The workaround is to go to the shopping cart yourself at https://writerscantina.org/cart. (I’ve added this link to the T-shirt order page as well.)
- Some people receive an error when they attempt to check out about their address being invalid. Our best guess is that their billing address with their bank is a simple five-digit ZIP code, but when they auto-populate their address at checkout from their browser, it includes a ZIP+4, and the payment processor flags it as an address mismatch. The workaround which has worked for far is simply to make sure that your address only includes a five-digit ZIP code.
We look forward to the new and unexpected ways in which people will next discover flaws in the payment system.
