I'm trying to set up Snipcart for the first time. It seems pretty straightforward for the most part, but I'm running into some issues when I try to check out with the test payment card.
I'm working with just a vanilla front end, and Express on the back. I'm getting the same error every time:
A 'cart-confirmation' error occurred in Snipcart.
Reason: 'product-crawling-failed'
But the URL it's returning me in my console looks like it should be able to crawl for the product properly: https://myHerokuApp.herokuapp.com/shop/starry-night
<button class="snipcart-add-item"
data-item-id="starry-night"
data-item-price="79.99"
data-item-url="/shop/starry-night"
data-item-description="This is a sweet piece of art."
data-item-image="img/1.jpg"
data-item-name="The Starry Night">
Add to cart
</button>
I'm really confused at to what I'm doing wrong. Is there something I have to do with my express router? I've tried routing something like this just to see what would happen
router.get("/shop/:product", function (req, res, next) {
res.json({
"data-item-id": "starry-night",
"data-item-price": "79.99",
"data-item-url": "/shop/starry-night"
})
});
But that didn't make a difference.
I'm really hoping someone can spot what I'm doing wrong or point me in the right direction in the docs..
Thank you!
Attributes data-item-id and data-item-price are used with HTML crawler and are defined inside buy-button.
If you want to use JSON crawler, then you should return valid JSON with properties id and price. Also, price should be of type number. Change your backed like this:
router.get("/shop/:product", function (req, res, next) {
res.json({
"id": "starry-night",
"price": 79.99
})
});
Note: your server must be publicly available (not running in your localhost).
