Hi @Prestapepe ,

Thank you for your report and and this wonderful ending in the steps to reproduce. I reproduce the issue with PrestaShop version 1.7.8.8 as you can see :

Untitled_.Feb.22.2023.5_11.PM.webm

I'll add this to the backlog so it can be fixed.

Please be aware that some issues might take a very long time to be resolved. If this one is important to you and you cannot wait for it to be fixed on the project’s own time, we strongly suggest you consider contacting a professional to help you.

If you fix the issue on your end, please contribute it back to the project. Remember that the more people contribute, the better PrestaShop becomes for everyone.

the strange part of this issue is that we can finish the checkout

Thanks

How to fix this issue:

• create a FrontController.php file in /override/classes/controller/
• rewrite the recovertCart() function to fix it:

<?php
class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{

    /**
     * Recovers cart information.
     *
     * @return int|false
     */
    protected function recoverCart()
    {
        if (($id_cart = (int) Tools::getValue('recover_cart')) && Tools::getValue('token_cart') == md5(_COOKIE_KEY_ . 'recover_cart_' . $id_cart)) {
            $cart = new Cart((int) $id_cart);
            if (Validate::isLoadedObject($cart)) {
                $customer = new Customer((int) $cart->id_customer);
                if (Validate::isLoadedObject($customer)) {
                    $customer->logged = 1;
                    $this->context->customer = $customer;
                    $this->context->cookie->id_customer = (int) $customer->id;
                    $this->context->cookie->customer_lastname = $customer->lastname;
                    $this->context->cookie->customer_firstname = $customer->firstname;
                    $this->context->cookie->logged = 1;
                    $this->context->cookie->check_cgv = 1;
                    $this->context->cookie->is_guest = $customer->isGuest();
                    $this->context->cookie->passwd = $customer->passwd;
                    $this->context->cookie->email = $customer->email;

                    // extra patch line 
                    $this->context->cookie->registerSession(new CustomerSession());
                    // end patch

                    return $id_cart;
                }
            }
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Hi, i created the override file FrontController.php as @eurya wrote, but the problem is the link too:
I've prestashop 8.0.1, and the link created in the BO is http://www.******com/it/ordine?step=3&recover_cart=********&token_cart=********************
I find these errors:

• http and not https.....
• ?step=3 : this was right in older PS, but now I've to delete this parameter from the link to work right.
  So we have to correct the link generator, thanks.
  Regards,
  Diego
