 * Hi,
 * I was following your training video about using Cartflows. Woocommerce is in 
   test mode. When I attempt to use the “Checkout Page” and click the payment button(“
   Place Order”), and error is displayed that states:
 * > SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON
   > data
 * Naturally it would likely mean nothing to a visitor attempting a purchase, and
   possibly suggests to them there is something unsafe about the checkout process.
 * Does anyone have a fix on how to resolve this?
 * Much thanks,
    Roger

 * Update:
 * I discovered this error will display if a website is under construction, and 
   you use an html cover page. Removing it, fixed the issue. (Posting here, just
   in case anyone else happens to run into this issue).
