Wp-calypso: Domains: search suggests domain I already purchased

Created on 28 Apr 2016  路  6Comments  路  Source: Automattic/wp-calypso

Steps to reproduce:

  • Purchase a domain via /domains/add.
  • After /checkout/thank-you, go back to /domains/add. Notice you'll be offered the same domain you just registered.
  • Select that domain again. After checkout, you'll have renewed the domain for another year.

This is even more confusing if the first purchase was completed using a plan credit. When a domain is bundled with a plan, its expiration date isn't visible from /purchases so we can't tell the domain has been renewed. The user will be charged again, but it's not clear they got another year of the domain.

This has some implications on cancellations and refunds, which I describe in 13689-pb.

Ideally, we shouldn't display domains the user just purchases in the domain search.

@fabianapsimoes do you know in which suggestion vendor variation you were in? The domain shouldn't be suggested in there at all.

I didn't notice it back then, but I was able to reproduce this again with account fabianatestingon20160504132857 which is on namegen, and account fabianatestingon20160504133527 which is on domainsbot.

Thanks for the repro @fabianapsimoes

Could be a caching problem. Need to check if namegen/domainsbot gets updated once we register something (which I doubt).

I'm thinking of a check before adding to cart.

@aidvu passing this on to you since it looks like it's your area of expertise :) lmk if you want to me look at it

@aidvu I think this has been fixed, if not, you can reopen it
