   last 24 hours.Its with YITH subscriptions, they say its your plugin thats the

 * I am also having this issue using Woocommerce Stripe Payment Gateway with YITH
   Subscriptions Premium
 * Latest versions of WP, WooCommerce, Stripe Gateway and YITH
 * Orders show the payment intent being created but the charge is not saved to the
   order despite being successful on Stripe. YITH then retires 10 minutes later 
   and takes payment again (and again and again) until the order is manually updated
   to ‘Completed’

 * Yes, this is totally unacceptable and unbelievable at the same time.
   We only 
   caught this after the weekend, we have now had to refund £1000’s of pounds to
   people, we dont know if this has now made people overdrawn so we are now liable
   to posiible prosecution and legal action because of STRIPE woocommerce developers.
   We are now looking at our legal obligations and standing to responsibility over
   the charges and any customers financial compensation.

 * I’ve had great convo with YITH, they lay the fault with STRIPE for Woocommerce.
   Roll back to 8.4 and YITH do currently have a fix in the next version of their
   plugin to address the issue

 * Hello [Christopher Sheppard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjsheps/), [AlastairM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boyddigital/)
 * Thank you for contacting Woo support.
 * Could you share the exact message from YITH that explains how this is a fault
   with the _WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway_?
 * This information will help me understand the conflict between two plugins.
   It
   will also help me create a report if there is a problem with the _WooCommerce
   Stripe Payment Gateway_ plugin.
 * Lastly, you mentioned:
   _Roll back to 8.4 and YITH do currently have a fix in 
   the next version of their plugin to address the issue_.
 * Do you mean YITH is providing a fix for this or is it still something that needs
   to be fixed at the _WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway_ side?
 * Looking forward to your response. 🙂
 * Best regards.

 * Hi [@doublezed2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doublezed2/)
 * This is the response from YITH:
 * Hello there,
   it seems there’s an issue with the **8.5.x **version of **WooCommerce
   Stripe Gateway**.We are already working on this issue but, in the meantime, we
   suggest to downgrade ti to version 8.4.x until the issue is solved.Unfortunately,
   this is something we have no control over since, especially in the last period,
   they are making several changes to the plugin code without giving reasonable 
   notice. I’ll keep you updated when the issue is solved and you can upgrade back
   the plugin.
 * I have asked for a full report from YITH and likewise I require a full report
   from you so we can understand how the plugin was able to generate 100’s of duplicate
   payments from our customers.
 * Our legal team need to understand how and why this happened, we are already being
   questioned about these payments from some customers as you would expect, and 
   at the current time we cannot give them a plauseable explanation as we dont know
   why this happened.
 * Looking forward to your detailed response, please PM me the report.
 * Thanks
 * Christopher

 * I can confirm that rolling back to version 8.4 has resolved the issue for me.
 * My response from YITH implied the fault was in the Stripe for Woocommerce plugin
   but made no mention of YITH preparing a fix

 * Hi [@cjsheps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjsheps/)
 * For context, [WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/)
   version 8.5.0 brought [a number of changes](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/releases/tag/8.5.0),
   some of them related with subscriptions.
 * > I’ll keep you updated when the issue is solved and you can upgrade back the
   > plugin.
 * It’s great to hear the team at YITH is already working on continuing compatibility.
   Feel free to update this thread when the update is available.
 * > I have asked for a full report from YITH and likewise I require a full report
   > from you so we can understand how the plugin was able to generate 100’s of 
   > duplicate payments from our customers.
 * Just to clarify, a payment plugin, like [WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/),
   acts on signals/requests made by other e-commerce functionality, for example 
   subscription products/services created with the YITH plugin.
 * Moreover, the [WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/)
   plugin is [developed publicly on GitHub](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe).
 * Further resources that might be useful: [https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/)
 * > a plauseable explanation as we dont know why this happened.
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Software, like in everything in
   life, evolves. The more “moving parts” in an e-commerce installation, the more
   delicate the upgrade process to each new version.
 * Therefore, it is recommended to test with a staging site, after making sure a
   recent backup is available.
 * Ultimately, the control, and responsibility, falls on the hands of the person/
   team that manages a site, though, as all functionality is chosen and implemented
   by them.
 * The issue appears to have happened because plugin updates were pushed to the 
   live site, prior to making sure no functionality conflicts might arise.
 * I hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions 
   or concerns.
   We will be happy to help you further.
