That's why it doesn't let you finish the order. You should normally see an error message on the checkout but it seems that your joomla template is not displaying error messages: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...tibility-issues.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/61-hikashop-compatibility-issues.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI5LXBheW1lbnQtbWV0aG9kcy84Njc3MzMtcGF5cGFsLXBsdWdpbi1ub3QtZGlyZWN0aW5nLXRvLXBheXBhbD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[siccreations](/forum/user/31911-siccreations "View siccreations's Profile")** - [![siccreations's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/31911-siccreations "View siccreations's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/31911-siccreations) Less More - Posts: 11 - Thank you received: 0 - - 12 years 6 months ago [\#153755](#153755) by [siccreations](/forum/user/31911-siccreations "View siccreations's Profile") Replied by *[siccreations](/forum/user/31911-siccreations "View siccreations's Profile")* on topic *[Paypal plugin not directing to paypal.](/forum/29-payment-methods/867733-paypal-plugin-not-directing-to-paypal#153755 "I just tested my paypal plugin for the first time. when I click "Finish" on the checkout page ( siccreations.org/index.php/component/hikashop/checkout ) it seems to reload the checkout page...")* I've been investigating how to fix this. Still no luck. ![:(](/media/kunena/emoticons/5.png ":(") Here are a few more details- <jdoc:include type="message" /> is included in my template, and messages do show up. (Just not regarding this issue.) I have turned on debug mode, but I'm not seeing any errors. I'm not sure where they should be displayed in the debug console. I will leave debug on in case this might help someone else to figure out my issue. I'm using the standard checkout workflow for hikashop. (cart_coupon_login_address_shipping_payment_status_fields_confirm,end) My shipping is calculating correctly, and correct shipping and payment methods are automatically selected on the checkout page.... so I'm really at a loss here... Feeling very frustrated. I hope I can get this to work. I have spent so much time entering products and configuring hikashop now.

I think I see what you are saying. There is no button to click under where it says Shipping Method. However, Hikashop IS selecting the correct shipping method depending on the order total. I have configured it to charge as follows: $ 0.01 - $10.00 = $2.99 $10.01 - $20.00 = $4.99 $20.01 - $30.00 = $5.99 $30.01 - $40.00 = $6.99 $40.01 - $70.00 = $8.99 $70.01 - $100.00 = $9.99 $100.00+ + FREE SHIPPING It works too! if you add items to the cart it calculates correctly. Also you can see at the bottom of the page it says "you chose shipping method: $xx.xx to xx.xx [ ![h092499d.jpg](/forum/attachment/16936) ](/forum/attachment/16936 "h092499d.jpg") However there it no button to select as there is for the paypal (which is also default and the only option).Why is there no button to select shipping method when it's obviously working correctly? <jdoc:include type="message" /> is included in my template, and messages do show up.
