Unable to connect to the OnePay site or experiencing an empty shopping cart

SOLVEDby IntuitUpdated 1 year ago

When attempting to purchase a OnePay return, the transaction results in either an Unable to connect to the OnePay error, or the user experiences an empty shopping cart.

These issue may result from antivirus settings blocking a transaction, an existing firewall set to strong protections, or a change in internet settings following a Windows software update.

Antivirus settings

Ensure that ProFile has been added as an exception to the antivirus software running on the machine. Visit the software's website for instructions on how to create program exceptions for the particular antivirus software and version being used.

Note: Ensure that the antivirus software is up-to-date before creating exceptions, and always reboot the computer after creating exceptions.

Internet settings can change with a Windows update, which may result in the issues being experienced.
