It's not something that's possible at the moment with the software I use.

I thought you were supposed to do it trough a thirdparty website but I don't know.

Yes, but it has to have some way to interact with the store software so that it can keep track of who bought what using the affiliate link.

Back in to cubing after 12 months off - decided to upgrade from my current main (Weilong v1), as NOBODY is using that anymore, and just placed my first order (a Valk 3) with ThePuzzleStore.uk. You weren't around yet when I quit.
Looking forward to receiving my puzzle and hopefully doing business with you again in future. I'll be sure to post an update when I receive my puzzle later in the week!

Indeed - I only started the store about 7 months ago.
Thanks for the purchase, unfortunately it was slightly too late to go in today's post, so it will be on the way tomorrow. The Valk is a great choice, a superb quality cube.

Well, all sites pretty much use cookies, but the store software still has to be able to write them, and read them, in terms of the affiliate link, to keep track of the purchases and assign whatever discount or credit is needed to go to the affiliate.
Like I said, the software I use currently, just doesn't have that functionality included.

No worries, cube received and will definitely be using you again!
Fast processing and dispatch, cube was well protected, spot on service, many thanks... Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this store.
I was skeptical about the hype with the Valk 3, but M turns especially are far smoother than my weilong. Cubes genuinely have come a long way in 12 months!

Hi Guys, a lot of new items in stock this week, including:

Moyu MF5
Moyu Weilong GTS Dual adjustment tools
Moyu Weilong SQ1
Plus a lot of other items have been restocked, and more are on the way.
Please take a look.

I think you would sell a lot of the new Shengshou Master Pyraminx if you could obtain them.
Also, I noticed the absence of the 3x3x3 Ghost cube, that's another worth stocking.
Re: your shop website, the option to filter products by price could do with a tweak, maybe have the bands 0-7, 7-15, 15-25, etc.
And the product review for the LanLan Domino appears to be for a different puzzle, maybe a 2x2x3 cuboid ?
I'm impressed with your shop ,and service, and have recommended you to several friends. I wish you success with the business.

Thanks for the comments.
The Master Pyraminxes are on the way
The lack of ghost cube is a conscious choice, since I can't obtain the original version.
Yeah, I know those price bands are skewed, but that's an automated process created by the software I use, not something I have created myself. As far as I'm aware I can't change them manually, but I'll take a look.

Seriously Marty, the software on your site is SO frustrating. I've been trying to buy a Yuxin Blue 4x4 for the last 20 minutes. I have an account (from my last purchase, which was smooth as silk), and checked out last time via PayPal. All great, until this time I got stuck in a loop where I paid via PayPal, then got taken back to enter address details. Again. And again. And again.
You expect things to be easier second time around, but now I've got to a message telling me "It appears that your PayPal funding source has failed three times. Please choose a different payment method."
My PayPal funding source hasn't failed. There's enough in the account that feeds it to buy the cube several hundred times over. What's happened is your merchant software (which I was about to compliment you on, by the way) has somehow got stuck in a very irritating loop.
Anyway, I don't have my card on me right now, so I'll complete my purchase in the morning using the same card as I use via PayPal, but entering the card number. Highly frustrating and very irritating.
If I complete my purchase in the morning, when can you dispatch my cube? Was really hoping to get the order finished tonight so you'd see it in the morning and I'd get my nice shiny new cube sooner, but looks like I can't do that now.
Love your site - your range of cubes is excellent and everything LOOKS great, but it's little software glitches like this that can ruin a great store.
Please feel free to drop me a PM to discuss! Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Damn, sorry to hear that. That's frustrating indeed.
There's no way for me to know the cause unfortunately. I didn't create the software, and there's no way for me to edit the code myself to try to fix it.
Whatever was the problem it's a rare bug, because I do know that lots of people have made orders succesfully. I have had a couple of people comment something similar in the past though. It sounds like there's some sort of cumminication problem between paypal and the store at that time or something, from what I can make out.
The other people that had the problem tried again a little later and it worked fine. Not a good solution I know, and I'm sure it may lead to me losing costumers, on occasion.
Unfortunately the only alternative would be to migrate the store to a new software platform, which would be a pretty huge undertaking.
Any orders placed before 2pm on a weekday are dispatched same day, so it won't make any difference to when you recieve your cube.

Hi Marty, I fully appreciate that it's the storefront software, rather than the site or anything under your control, I was purely giving you feedback (and venting, sorry!).
I've just placed my order, which went through fine. Following on from your comments, what I did was go all the way through to payment step-by-step, rather than clicking the PayPal option. I still paid via PayPal, but didn't take the shortcut of clicking on the 'Or use PayPal' option, which is what I was doing last night.
I'll avoid the tempting yellow PayPal button, in future. Not sure if you can disable this? It's still there as an option when you get to payment anyway, and the shortcut seems to be a little buggy.

Not at all it's fine - I would find that very frustrating too!
Yeah, I've suspected that paypal button might be causing problems in the past, unfortunately it's added automatically, and as far as I'm aware I can't disable it. I'll have another look through the options though, and see if I can find anything.
Thanks for the new order too, it will be on the way to you today

Marty, when will you have the stickerless Valk 3 back in stock? I'm thinking of making a magnetic one, and can't risk butchering my main!
