 When attempting to process a CC, I am getting

AN 0 ERROR OCCURED DURING YOUR REQUEST.

Stripe processing was working correctly.. I'm not sure why it stopped. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.. confirmed API keys.. tried it in sandbox and live.. nothing seems to work.

You have passed a blank string for 'source'. You should remove the 'source' parameter from your request or supply a non-blank value.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for using our plugin for VirtueMart.

If it was working before, then it can come from recent updates. What changed on the website: Joomla, VirtueMart, PHP updates?

Or please look at logs, or the browser console messages.

Also, have you tested it on developer/copy website before going into production, like for any updates?

Kind regards,
Hervé

Herve,

I am not aware of any changes that may have occured.

The error log says this..

{
"source": "",
"amount": "26500",
"currency": "usd",
"receipt_email": "[removed by support system]"
}


This is the error --
{
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "You have passed a blank string for 'source'. You should remove the 'source' parameter from your request or supply a non-blank value.",
"param": "source"
}
}


------ So, it doesn't like "SOURCE" being blank.. I'm not sure where in your plug-in you are pulling the parameter for source..

All right, that's the Stripe.com logs it seems. I was talking about the Joomla and VirtueMart logs. Do you know how to enable them?

Also, if not already set, please try with the Stripe plugin setting to "Charge Direct" like written here at 6.

Kind regards,
Hervé

Hi Patrick,

I've unpublished your previous post with your logs, to protect your site from nasty eyes. Actually these are the web server logs, like Apache.

To look at some common errors in the browser, open the JavaScript console:
https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8525/how-do-i-open-the-javascript-console-in-different-browsers
Then you may a plain explanation of what is going wrong. Otherwise report it here.

To enable VirtueMart debug, go to VirtueMart > Configuration > Shop (tab), and in the Advanced Settings,
- set Enable debugging messages to For all,
- PHP Developer mode to For all,
- and, depending of your VirtueMart version, tick the Enable debugging of methods, to have only the shipment and payment methods debug.

Then the VitueMart Debug messages should be displayed at the top of the main content, also in the front end, depending on your template position for system-message-container.

Let me know if something triggers your attention.

I just had a quick look, and there are two javascript errors:
- with K2, not sure how to disable it, but it would be worth it for a quick test
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
    at k2.frontend.js?v=2.8.0&sitepath=/:9
(anonymous) @ k2.frontend.js?v=2.8.0&sitepath=/:9
11:08:01.066 

- with Cookie consent: try to unpublish the plugin
index.php?error=0&itemId=99999:254 Uncaught ReferenceError: cc is not defined
    at index.php?error=0&itemId=99999:254


Please remove products from cart, logout the customer, and to empty the browser cache. Then test again.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Hervé

Herve, I'm going to try that.. but to me, the problem is really simple to identify, but I don't know how to fix it.. it is giving us a clear error..

When the form is submitted to Stripe for processing.. the param titled "source" is empty..

it looks like this : "source": ""

It is obvious to me, something is suppose to be in there, or it shouldn't be there at all.

Friday, 15 September 2017 13:59 IST
herve
It looks obvious, you are right, but how could we explain that "what" was there AND working before, has now disappeared (source) ? As the Stripe plugin is still the same, it must be coming from another source, or something is altering the script.

Please could you confirm that the version of the Stripe plugin is the same before the issue, and after?

The format of the information for processing the payment with Stripe is evolving with new versions of Stripe API, which should not changed on its own, unless manually by human action, or another connector. Maybe check on Stripe.com Dashboard, is the version of the API has been updated by another process (like if something else than VirtueMart is processing Stripe payments in this account)?

Kind regards,
Hervé

I have uninstalled and reinsalled the plug-in.. I have went back to an older version (2.0.2), and then come back to 2.1 to try and fix it.. so I don't know what it "was before", I only know what it is now. 2.1

I went into my Stripe dashboard.. deleted the standard api key and created a restricted api key (but with all options on) so there would be no chance of another plug-in source or application hitting that api.. and it didn't work.

So I don't know where to go from here..

I have a temporary shopping cart at http://powerstreamtv.wazala.com

The Stripe API is working here.. I am able to process orders here.

So whatever is not working is something to do with this joomla installation and how your plugin works within it..

The Stripe API is working...

[I was posting this reply when you other post came in].

Patrick, I understand your frustration. But in my position I know very little about your setup to be able to go further. And I cannot figure out what version was installed before, if you don't know yourself. Any way, that was only one possible source of problem to look at.

Do you have someone else looking or maintaining at the website?
How are usually done the Joomla and VirtueMart updates? Any automated script from your hosting provider?

By the way, have you tried the steps described on our Troubleshooting page?

I am working on new features and translations over the next weeks, but I've not come across any such issue.

The standard support included in our Stripe plugin subscription, does not include VirtueMart troubleshooting with other extensions. However, our Extra services "Installation" can be used against 2 hours of expert support for a case like yours.
Of course, if it happens that our plugin is faulty, we will refund immediately!

Kind regards,
Hervé

All right, so it seems that nothing is wrong with the code, whereas it is VM or my plugin.

Is it an exact copy at http://powerstreamtv.wazala.com? Or a new installa with the same configuration?

Wazala is a stand alone cart.. they don't use Joomla or your plug-in..

Friday, 15 September 2017 15:45 IST

I didn't suggest that the Stripe API was not working, it happens temporarily, but it is very reliable
https://status.stripe.com/

So this Wazala check doesn't help with the issue.

Now please see my previous post

Hello Patrick,

And I still can't help you, if you don't help me to help you: some of my questions have no replies, so I'm not going any further. Remember, I asked these questions to find the problem on your website.

For years since I've developed this plugin, and with my other works with Joomla, I could always find the problem with the different tests explained in the troubleshooting page, and with the debug logs on, as previously detailed.

Please let me know what steps were done, and what were the results.

Kind regards,
Hervé

Herve, you are more then welcome to log in and see if you can figure it out.

I have disabled and uninstalled every plug-in and every setting that I can think of which might be interferring.. nothing seems to help.

I can get it to process in test mode, but when I go live, I get a Zero error.

Dear Patrick,

I've looked at one product page and made a test.
https://www.powerstreamtv.com/component/virtuemart/pstv/pstv-products/pstv-renegade-detail?Itemid=1223

Please check that in the Stripe plugin configuration the Force jQuery for Stripe plugin is set to No, as it seems it is loaded in front-end. This option is only there for specific setup, and is rarely used now.

Then perform a full transaction with the javascript console open: I feel like a Stripe account or configuration issue. They made some updates to their terms and conditions recently, like having the Stripe.com account phone number confirmed and verified.

To look at some common errors in the browser, open the JavaScript console:
https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8525/how-do-i-open-the-javascript-console-in-different-browsers
Then you may see a plain explanation of what is going wrong. Otherwise report it here.

I'm looking forward to helping you further,
Hervé

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!
