Checkout URL redirects to store home page

          After logging in successfully, and confirming I have a `device-auths.json` file, I get a notification URL to purchase. However when I click on it, I'm redirected to the store front page.

Can you share the URL you received in the notification? It doesn't contain any private information. Also, were you already logged in on the device?

The intent with the URL is it takes you to the login page (and prompt a login if you're not already), then redirect you to the checkout page.

Yep so I first successfully logged into the store to generate the device-auths.json token, I then got the purchase notification which gave me this URL :

https://www.epicgames.com/id/login?noHostRedirect=true&redirectUrl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.epicgames.com%252Fstore%252Fpurchase%253FhighlightColor%253D0078f2%2526offers%253D1-f5d9b93771214e4cbd60506539d1cfc6-825a2a7eb70b458ab5b3cd9f5b3fa014%2526offers%253D1-277e364d24ec43069f4ee3c4414d5096-f7aa0e57c2b94acd97a28a7ec99a7ded%2526orderId%2526purchaseToken%2526showNavigation%253Dtrue&client_id=875a3b57d3a640a6b7f9b4e883463ab4

I was then redirected to https://store.epicgames.com/en-US and was still logged in with my account.

Oh, I see. It's double URL-encoding the percent signs. What notification method was this sent through?

[sam1310]

Ah nice one, I missed that! Notification method is Telegram

Same here, when I go to check the url on my docker interface, the link is working. But with Telegram, it redirects to the store page and not the checkout one.

Sorry, I was a dummy and pushed the fix to the wrong branch.
