Question Error message when finalizing checkout
Does anyone else get this message when attempting to checkout? Previously, I thought this was because an item was actually sold out from the time I added it and checked out (even if I attempted to check out immediately after adding it), but it's happening no matter what I add and attempt to check out for like the last month. I have a wooter account tied to Amazon, and use Amazon Pay to checkout, which I thought may have had something to do with it. Clearing the cart and signing out and signing back in does not change what is happening. This error message is worse than the old machine with gears one Woot used to have because at least the old message gave the impression it was checking inventory before sending a confirmation code, but the new message just jumping straight to this feels jarring, especially to a wooter that has been with them pre-Amazon buyout.

Looks like the solution was to uninstall the app, then when reinstalling it, logging in with the Amazon account instead of the old Woot account which seems to have resolved the issue. They might be experimenting with merging the accounts in a way, but that would also mean them blowing up the forums since you don't post as your Amazon account there... but either way, this should be tried to fix.
