 Hello,

So close!

I checked other tickets with this issue and tried checking the 'onepage checkout' option in virtuemart config/checkout, but no luck.

Am using One Page Checkout for Virtuemart (http://vmonepage.com)

Your product worked perfectly in test mode (using 'source' => "tok_visa") but when I switched to live and changed 'source' => $stripe_token_id, did not work as, it appears stripe_token_id comes back blank.

All input is correct but apparently am not getting a stripe_token_id. Can I create a token_id manually? Not sure how to fix. I thought was going live after so many successful test runs. Now stuck. Please let me know if I need to or can change any code anywhere or set something or config. I notice that in the onepage parameters that ajax is set for zipcode, not sure that matters. I hope this is a simple fix and/or workaround. Thanks for your help as am really looking forward to go-live now.

..am using
* @version 2.1.0
* @version Stripe PHP libraries (bindings) v3.23.0
* Stripe API version 2015-02-18.

Regards,
Steve

Hello Steve,

Thank you for using our plugin for VirtueMart.

Your product worked perfectly in test mode (using 'source' => "tok_visa") but when I switched to live and changed 'source' => $stripe_token_id, did not work as, it appears stripe_token_id comes back blank.


Please could you be more specific about the changes you mentioned, is it directly a hack in the code?

Kind regards,
Hervé

Hi Hervé,

I suppose you could say that..

I am a coder with years of experience (but not so much PHP;), however, I was able to pinpoint the line of code that caused the nasty error page. I then googled, as your support was closed, and found somewhere that source must = "tok_visa" so I replaced a line, thinking perhaps your set-up worked for live-only and not test, thus:

// existing method using JS token
try {
$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create ( array (
// 'source' => $stripe_token_id,
'source' => "tok_visa",
'amount' => ...
) );

and it worked, and all my testing worked, and all test transactions were properly logged at stripe. I thought, "cool, now all I have to do is change back to use $stripe_token_id when the website is live...".

Now, I realize that $stripe_token_id should probably not have been null for test either and that it was blank for both test and live (and was probably not intended to be blank for test either). My apologies for the intrusion. However, this does prove that all data is getting to stripe, except token_id.

Would love to go-live this weekend if at all possible. Anything else I can try to get token_id set would be truly appreciated.

Have a great day,
Steve

Anything you can think of Hervé in terms of why token_id is not being set?

Thank you for using our plugin for VirtueMart.

Sorry for the unusual delay in replying. I am very busy with clients requests and SCA/PSD2 right now, and will go overtime in the next few days or weeks I supposed.

I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Kind regards,
Hervé

Stripe Plugin for Virtumart best Ever

12 November 2019
star starstarstar star 
Functionality

Once you go through the documentation and try out the settings (and don't forget to test it with a "test item", it works like a dream.

Ease of use

Very easy to use, though a little play with the settings may be needed to get an understanding of the system. And you need a stripe account.

Support

Best support ever. Hervé has been very patient and kind and helped me greatly when the Stripe plugin no longer spoke with the new updates.

Documentation

Documentation is very good. You do need a Stripe account, and you need a little "try out" time to get it all in place.

Value for money

Yes, very much value for money. The plugin, Hervé's support, the easy for the customers to use it. It is all worth it.

I used this to: I use it for my IMRF Bookshop: imrfbookshop(.)org. People can now pay by credit/debit card, Paypal (different plugin) and they can request an invoice and pay by bank transfer.
Owner's reply: Thanks a Million for your excellent review! This means a lot to me. And on a early Tuesday morning, you not only you made my day, but you made my whole week! Please accept my sincere gratitude for your feedback and for your trust in my services.

This plugin is great! At first I couldn't get it to work with my install of joomla and virtuemart--but the great tech support from Puma-it (Herve) did real right by me, helping me to quickly resolve the problem and get this up and working on my site. Thanks Herve for your great Code and keep up the great work!

Owner's reply: Thank you Sethtc for sharing your review on my plugin and support services! That is the first review, so I feel very proud. Serving our customers as best as we can is rewarding, I know it!
