1) Corrupt .htaccess file

2) The server firewall blocks any requests from the Woosa midlayer server

1) There can be many reasons why a .htaccess file is corrupted. It can happen already by installing a new plugin for example. Luckily it’s easy to solve!

Log in to the root folder of your WordPress installation via FTP and rename the .htaccess file to .htaccess_old. Next, go to your WordPress dashboard > General > Permalinks and hit the save button. This generated a new and clean .htaccess file. You can check this by going to your WordPress installation root folder via FTP again.

After that, try to click the button Click to register again.

2) To solve this issue we advise whitelisting the Woosa midlayer IP addresses on server level. You can find the IP addresses here.

Product SKU is not valid

The product is not available anymore at vidaXL. It either is Out of Stock or entirely removed from their catalog.

Unfortunately, there is no solution for this error, except to prevent it next time. Therefore you can use the Preserve Stock Offset setting in the vidaXL plugin settings.

The vidaXL server is temporarily not available.

You can’t do anything yourself to solve this, since it’s an issue at vidaXL its server. Try again later by manually sending the order to vidaXL via the product bulk actions.
