Hello and hope you’re staying safe!

We use Square as payment gateway and have received several complaints from existing customers/previous site visitors who use the Safari browser [this issue has been reported and replicated on desktop + mobile devices].

Any visitor who has never been to the site has no issue making a new purchase [which will probably make this hard for you to replicate].

But any visitor that has previously purchased using Safari receives the following error at checkout:

“An error occurred, please try again or try an alternate form of payment.” [we updated the messaging to be more user-friendly]

We have replicated this on desktop and mobile devices, on various networks.

We then tried using the standard WooPress parent theme without any modifications and saw the same results in testing.

We then tried using the default WooCommerce TwentyTwenty theme and the error did NOT happen.

We then reactivated the WooPress parent theme and disabled the WooPress plugin … and the error did NOT happen [but the UX was obviously wrong]

Not sure how much your team can help diagnose the issue since you likely won’t be able to replicate, but could you help us by providing some of the following information about the WooPress plugin:

What data is cached during checkout?
If there are any scripts (JavaScript files or functions) used during checkout

Thanks for your help!
Nick

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

Do you use a cache plugin or CDN? Have you flushed plugin and CDN cache after your changes?
We need WP Dashboard and FTP access to your site to check the problem. Also, we need access to the customer account that has the problem to check it because we don’t have ideas about why this may happen.

We have disabled cache plugin and CDN during testing and still have the same issue.

Can you please provide answers to the questions I posed in the original post? Please help us by providing some of the following information about the WooPress plugin:

What data is cached during checkout?
If there are any scripts (JavaScript files or functions) used during checkout

Thank you!

Hello,

1) No, we don’t have any cache at the checkout or specially created functions. We use all the default functions of the WooCommerce and included plugins at the checkout page.

2) Try to disable terms and conditions at the checkout page http://prntscr.com/rpz7gr and check if you still have the mentioned problem when it’s disabled.

Regards
