I am not sure how that could be possible. Is this happening on a regular checkout page order? * > i do see my order on the backen order successfully. * What is the WooCommerce order’s status? * [Here is a link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/139SBzXdbSY1LEB1iFCJDrI_ZZnj9mJET/view?usp=drive_link) to the update which checks the null condition. * Thread Starter [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/) * (@augustus1996) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-8/#post-16787834) * The order status is active or completed, I’ve used the subscription for this and the subscription status is active.

That function has been in the plugin since it was originally released a year ago. * That error message is specifically stating that you can’t call getId on a null object which means the PayPal order object is null. I am trying to understand how the PayPal order could be null in your scenario because I am not able to replicate in our development environment. * We also don’t have any other reports of this specific error. The other support thread that you were commenting on was not related to the error you’re reporting. * Kind Regards * Thread Starter [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/) * (@augustus1996) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-8/#post-16787841) * It works now, thanks a lot. * Thread Starter [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/) * (@augustus1996) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-8/#post-16787847) * This situation likely arose when an individual utilized PayPal and designated their card as the primary payment option within their PayPal account. * Plugin Author [Clayton R](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrclayton/) * (@mrclayton) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-8/#post-16787853) * > It works now, thanks a lot. * Ok, will include that in the next release. I finally figured out why that was happening. Your subscription is a free trial subscription yes? If so that’s the cause and we will be releasing the update within the next hour. * The free trial doesn’t have a corresponding PayPal order the same way a one off payment or regular subscription does. * Thanks for reporting this issue and your help troubleshooting. * Kind Regards * Thread Starter [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/) * (@augustus1996) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-8/#post-16787858) * You are right, this is a free trial subscription. Thanks a lot. I think this plugin is really helpful than the official paypal plugin that woocommerce have. - This reply was modified 2 years, 12 months ago by [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/).
