 * Hello. I am encountering a checkout error on my site through some gateways, and
   I was wondering if someone might be able to provide some help. I can’t seem to
   figure it out, but it seems like its been a common problem. I am on the Avada
   theme. Whenever I checkout using COD, or Credit card through woothemes own plugin,
   it seems to throw this error:
 * SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON 
   data
 * Does anyone know how I can solve this. It passes the order through to my dashboard,
   however it throws customers off and they end up sending me 5 orders and then 
   calling. I would greatly appreciate any wisdom someone might be able to provide.
