Lost session at confirmation page (lost orderid)

[aimeos]

When using "invoice" as payment method, there's no redirect to an external site, just to another page on the same web site. Why is the session lost in that situation?

since we've figured out that it is nothing about an intended transaction we didn't investigate any further. the error is still coming up on a regular basis. the paypal id reveals it is related to returning buyers. perhaps logged in fe_user? sorry, we gave up on this.

for us the workaround works fine

I found out with debug of $_SERVER, that many of the "session lost" cases are from bots like GoogleBot.
I try to "disallow: /confirm" for the bots via robots.txt now.

Thanks a lot for debugging, it's very helpful to know that bots are causing most of the log entries related to that issue!
Unfortunately, we can't improve the situation in the Aimeos code as this can only be done in the robots.txt
