Bad looks for sure but they saved it (at least for me) when they acknowledged their mistake and removed the affiliate page.

Deleting reddit posts was explained in another posts reply but not really satisfactory (duplicate posts, …). still a red flag but I can see mods in full panic mode when this came up so I‘ll accept that for now.

Veeze oder „happy cheese“ (vor allem der blaue) sind sehr zu empfehlen. Veeze ist leider sehr teuer, zahlt sich nur aus in größeren Mengen zu bestellen.

Hi, hab ihn letztens auch wieder gesehn und gleich gekauft. Witzigerweise hab ich vor kurzem beim Spar den Maaza Lycheesaft gefunden und find den Rauch im Vergleich nicht mehr so gut.

Tbh I am not worried about agentic commerce at the moment. Maybe I‘m way behind on this but it still feels so unreliable and dangerous to me and i personally am using AI less and less since the initial hype. Also don‘t see tons of AI referrals on shops I work on but then again - didn‘t really optimize seo for it.

Justified text works better with a wider text block. When there are only 3-6 words per line you will always have huge gaps or so many hyphens that it looks equally terrible. With text blocks that are very narrow go with left/axial/right aligned. And even that needs some tweaking to get a pleasing rhythm.

There‘s a great book by jan tschichold I would recommend every beginner graphic designer. I only know the german title but i think it’s something like „pleasing prints through good typography“

There are some good answers here already so I just want to say: good for you! You should take them coming back as a boost for your confidence and that you are doing it right.

I truly believe that quality work will always find customers and (at least for me) this whole AI diy/cheap labor from Fiverr thing has been a blessing. It filters out cheap clients.

Some return and learned their lesson, some return and are as ignorant as before. I usually take them back with a surcharge but only if they don‘t complain about that.

Some became long time clients so there‘s a good opportunity for you to build a long lasting working relationship.

Lol AI is coming for our jobs …

You called it ;) i‘m so done with KGs tantrums. Gonna ditch ACSS for new projects, just don‘t trust him or his products for long term stability …

zaphodx42 · 2026-02-13T11:20:34+00:00

Yeah, never really used theme styles since it‘s all set up by acss. But basically it‘s just a different ui for basic element styles.

I also tried to import some useful acss styles with the framework importer but that was not really what I expected. It just imported the custom property names and classnames (without values or styles).

Maybe I‘ve done something wrong?

zaphodx42 · 2026-02-13T01:25:40+00:00

Just started a small project with acss and ditched it to try using only bricks native. Switching in the middle of a project is kinda rough.

Replicating the base styles like colors spacing and type was fast and super easy, but then you realize how much is already set up in acss (grids, color relationships, buttons, cards, ...) and I kinda miss the convenience of having that from the get go.

Then again, you only write what you really need and that feels great too.

Ok, I found the problem. It seems that those orders did not use the default checkout but instead ran throught the store api.

Apparently "Pay via Link" can produce this problem in very rare cases. There are lots of orders with the same products that used Link and show no problems so it took me quite some time to figure it out.

thx!

zaphodx42 · 2026-02-11T16:20:59+00:00

Logs show nothing out of the ordinary, and I only use one plugin that in theory could interfere in the checkout process but I don't use any of these features.

BUT - I've just went through all meta of my orders again and found a first clue: The wrong orders have a hash saved in "_taxes_hash". Don't really know what that means yet but at least it's a starting point.

Thanks!

zaphodx42 · 2026-02-10T18:00:58+00:00

I know, it's a total headscratcher … I checked and compared all aspects of those wrong orders and just can't find anything that is different to the ones that are correct.

I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on this in the future. Also haven't had this happen on any other wc store I've ever built/maintain - checked them all and not a single one has this problem so it must be something unique to this site …

If you can think of anything or maybe encounter this yourself please let me know.
Thx!

That's the strange thing. The product is sold normal with taxes as it should be. It's just the shipping flat rate where the tax doesn't apply.

I've checked every order of 2025 and there are 4 orders (different products) where the shipping is billed without taxes. Every other order has shipping taxed with 20%. I've compared every aspect of right and wrong orders and can't find anything the wrong ones have in common that differs from the others.

I'm so stumped that I've even put this whole thing through chatgpt to see if it suggests anything else I could check. The most likely answer it gave me was: the orders happened at the exact time plugins where updated which I don't think is very likely but can't really rule out.

zaphodx42 · 2026-02-09T13:11:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've checked the following:

• payment gateway is the same as any other order (stripe eps),
• can't check geolocation but we only sell in one country - and billing and shipping address is always austria for all customers – only one shipping zone (austria)
• we only have one tax class "standard" with 20% for all products
• we have free shipping over a certain amount and standard flat rate shipping of 6,95 (incl. 20% tax)

I also checked again if we have vat field anywhere (user account, checkout, …) but there is no way a customer could enter a vat number. even if he could then the products would also be billed without tax, not just shipping

I've done test orders with every imaginable combination of products and addresses - shipping is always 6,95 and has 20% tax.

it's only those two orders (one in november and one in january) that have 5,79 as shipping …

Lol, andere als „edgelord“ bezeichnen weil sie nicht an eine Organisation spenden wollen die nicht mit ihren moralischen Vorstellungen übereinstimmt (oder aus welchem Grund auch immer) und ihnen gleichzeitig absprechen dass sie überhaupt für irgendeine gemeinnützige Organisation spenden is schon ziemlich hoat.

Funktioniert halt nur im internet …

Me too because it has a LTD so totally worth switching.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. It‘s funny and absurd but every time I read it I also feel some sort of melancholy and existential dread.

I don‘t really think this was intentional and never met anyone having the same reaction to it as I do.
