Chrome 147: POST request returns 302 redirect instead of JSON on lite checkout - SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

Hello,

I am experiencing a critical issue on my CS-Cart store (ppcashop.fr). When customers click “Place order” on the checkout page, they get the following error on Chrome only (not Firefox or Opera):

“SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input”

Using Chrome DevTools Network tab, I can see that the POST request to index.php returns a 302 redirect to the homepage instead of a JSON response.

The issue seems related to Chrome’s recent SameSite cookie policy changes. The session cookie is set to SameSite=lax which may be blocking AJAX POST requests in Chrome 147+.

CS-Cart version: 4.19.1.SP2 The checkout uses the native CS-Cart lite checkout.

Could you please investigate and provide a fix or patch?

Thank you, Lulu ppcashop.fr

I have placed order 2 times and failed to reproduce the issue
