The Bypass Password for a non-shipping country doesn't work.

Buyer can add items, but when he opens the cart, there's no box to enter
the bypass password. Only the button [proceed to checkout]. After pressing this
button he gets stuck and the following message appears:

store.bricklink.com diz
DOES_NOT_SHIP: You will be redirected to the cart page

I checked all settings, but can't find anything what I am supposed to do,
then give in a bypass pasword.

Anyone any ideas?

The whole bypass system confuses me.. what is the intended/expected behaviour
exactly? There isn't such a thing as a ship-to countries list, which a bypass
password could then bypass. The ship-to countries are a result of what you have
specified in your shipping methods. Should the bypass password add the country
to one or more shipping methods but if so, how does the system know which ones?

I also struggle with the minimum buy bypass, since shipping methods obligatorily
(vacuously) need to have that same minimum buy baked into them - so I guess it
would result in a manual invoice if I give a bypass password, even though I just
want one of my shipping methods to qualify.

There is a ship-to-country list. It shows up on your Terms page and it shows
all countries that occur in 1 or more of your shippingmethods.
If a member from a non-shipping country (not on that list) wants to buy from
you, he can do so when you give him the bypass password for non-shipping countries.

The system doesn't need to know which country, the system only has to show
the box to enter the bypass password, when this member opens his shopping cart.

That's exactly what I mean: The list was not specified, it is a result of
the shipping methods. If the list was specified, a bypass password could simply
ignore that list. But as there is none specified, what should the bypass password
do? How does it know which shipping method to pick?

IMO the system seriously needs an overhaul. We should be able to just specify
anything we want in the shipping methods and then restrict that with a master-setting
on top of that. The bypass procedure would then lifts that restriction, and automatically
find the appropriate shipping method. Right now I find it very confusing.

It doesn't, you have to Invoice Manually.

I think it's already much better then years ago.
At the moment I just want to figure out why this buyer doesn't see the password
box.
I placed an order about a month ago with a bypass password for non-shipping-country,
without any problems.

So the big question is, why doesn't it work in my store?
