 Hi Hervé,
I have seen a few people with the same issue and now I have it.
Joomla ‎3.9.21
VirtueMart 3.8.4 10335
PHP version 7.2.33

error with stripe.js
Invalid source object: must be a dictionary or a non-empty string.

Error with Charge direct - It looks like stripe doesn't want to use this method:
Sending credit card numbers directly to the Stripe API is generally unsafe. To continue processing use Stripe.js, the Stripe mobile bindings, or Stripe Elements. For more information, see https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/integration/settings.

Your help is greatly appreciate.
I checked forum and guide here

Thank you,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Thank you for using our Stripe plugin for VirtueMart.

Charge Direct is really an old workaround, that should not apply to up-to-date VirtueMart setup. So please keep using Stripe.js.

1. Very important check: Is there any third-party OPC (one page checkout) installed, or a special template or customisation for the checkout page?
If yes, please test again with only the default VirtueMart OPC enable.

2. Please could you confirm me that with the exact same configuration, another payment method that displays a card form, like Paypal Payment Pro or Authorize.net, is shown at checkout?
(NB: this is not the standard Paypal method with redirection to paypal.com. And no need for the test API and sandbox credentials for the moment)

3. Also, for a multilingual website, please check that every payment method is available in each language: you may need to login in the Joomla back end with each installed language.

I am looking forward to helping you further!

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.

Works just fine

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!
