Hi All,

I am geting a " This square.link page can’t be found" randomly, every 2 out of 10 times of trying… I am getting a 200 response… everything on paper looks fine… but in practice I get an error such as below. Please help, its unusable in its current state.

p.s. Ignore the #reloadit anchor, its irrelevant happens without it too.

Not sure if this helps… but here is the console errors

The team is aware of this and working on a fix. As a workaround if you add a short delay before redirecting the customer it will resolve this. 🙂

I have introduced a 2 second delay but the problem persists… should it be longer?

The delay should be long enough to get it to work. If it’s not working at 2 seconds does 3 work? 🙂

My apologies, I have stared at this for so long I was not seeing the wood from the trees… I delayed the correct part (redirect as you said) and so far, I have not seen the error repeat!

Any word if there’s a fix for this? I’m having the same issue (although I have not implemented the delay). Seems strange that the API returns with a URL that it’s not ready to use yet.

Yes, if you use the `long_url` instead of the `url` it won’t cause this problem. 🙂
