# Payment Method Configuration error.

 * Hello, I am needing help for a client site that I maintain which uses this plugin
   to process transactions. Recently, my client was advised by Woo to update their
   plugin to version 9.9.2, which they did. However, since that time, potential 
   customers using the site and attempting to check out are unable to do so, they
   get an error: “No such payment_method_configuration: pmc_xxxxxxx”.
 * In the way of providing you additional information, in the general Woo Settings
   tab, we see the following:
 * BLIK is enabled – it requires store currency to be set to PLN
   giropay is enabled–
   it requires store currency to be set to EUREPS is enabled – it requires store
   currency to be set to EURBancontact is enabled – it requires store currency to
   be set to EURiDEAL is enabled – it requires store currency to be set to EUR
 * When my client initially contacted me regarding this issue, i went into the configuration
   options and noticed that a couple of payment options were enabled that i’m not
   sure that my client had authorized. My client only takes Google/Apple Pay and
   credit card payments (Klarna, etc… are not accepted). I’ve removed those. I do
   not know if updating the plugin automatically enabled those options or not.
 * My client is a domestic U.S. organization and has no need to accept EUR payments,
   and we are wondering if the above references to BLIK, EPS and iDEAL might be 
   at the root cause of this issue? While researching this, i found another post
   on this forum with a complaint about this very issue from one month ago with 
   reference to the above EUR paymennts, which appears to be a reported bug: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/issues/4711](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/issues/4711).
 * I do not know if this bug is at the root of our issue, but we do know that upon
   that advice that Woocommerce gave my client to update this plugin to version 
   9.9.2, this problem has suddenly appeared. They upgraded recently and have since
   upgraded to version 10.0.1, hoping that it would be fixed, but the errors continue.
 * Can you please provide us with guidance in how to resolve this issue? At present,
   my client cannot accept payments thru their website, which is obviously a showstopper
   for them.

 * OK, thank you for letting me know. Can you recommend any workarounds for my client?
   As of now, their site is completely unable to accept/process payments. Do you
   have customers using your plugin that have been unable to process payments for
   a month now? I would assume that you’ve been able to provide some sort of workaround
   for/to them. Thank you for any advice you can offer.

 * Hi there,
 * Sorry for the trouble and confusion. The bug my colleague mentioned is related
   to some payment methods being automatically enabled, but the issue you’re facing—
   being unable to receive payments — seems to be different. We’d like to investigate
   this further.
 * To assist you better, could you please downgrade to version **9.9.2** and then
   go to **WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Stripe → Manage**?
   Once there, check
   if you see a **Re-authenticate** button. If you do, please re-authenticate your
   connection. If not, try **reconnecting your Stripe account** manually and see
   if that helps resolve the issue.
 * If you still face the same issue, could you please share the following details:
    - **System Status Report** which you can find via WooCommerce > Status
    - **Fatal error logs** (if any) under WooCommerce > Status > Logs.
 * Please use [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/)
   and share a link to that paste in reply here. Once we have more information, 
   we’ll be able to assist you further.

 * Hi, sorry just saw your reply, i can do that. Could you please point me to the
   place where i would get the 9.9.2 version of your plugin? I’ll get this done 
   for us.

 * Hi [@jlanpheer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlanpheer/),
 * You can downgrade the WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin using the WP 
   Rollback plugin, which you can install from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rollback/),
   or by downloading version 9.9.2 directly from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/advanced/)
   and installing it manually on your site.
 * It’s best practice to take a full site backup before downgrading so that you 
   can easily restore your site if anything unexpected occurs during the process.
 * Once you’ve completed the downgrade, please check if the payment configuration
   error still appears and let us know the result so we can continue assisting you
   further. Let’s see how it goes!

 * Here’s an update. As instructed, we did downgrade the plugin to version 9.9.2
   and re-authenticated our Stripe account and that DOES appear to have fixed the
   problem. So, thank you for that instruction.
 * My client told me that they upgraded because they got a specific instruction 
   from you to upgrade. Having downgraded, has my client lost some functionality
   or perhaps some security protections? Please advise on how we should proceed 
   going forward.
 * Thanks so much for the help so far!

 * Hi [@jlanpheer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlanpheer/),
 * Thank you for the update and for taking the time to downgrade and re‑authenticate.
   I’m glad to hear that resolved the immediate payment configuration error for 
   your client. I completely understand your concern about whether downgrading means
   losing functionality or security protections.
 * To clarify:
    - The main difference is that you’re now running on a stable version (9.9.2)
      that doesn’t include the newer changes introduced in [**10.2.0**](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/milestone/76).
      Those changes were intended to expand payment method support, but since they
      introduced the bug you encountered, staying on 9.9.2 avoids that risk.
    - The plugin team does backport critical security fixes when needed, so you 
      shouldn’t be exposed to vulnerabilities by running 9.9.2. That said, it’s 
      always best practice to keep a close eye on release notes for any security
      advisories.
 * To proceed going forward, I recommend the following:
    - Keep an eye on new plugin releases ([**10.2.0**](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/milestone/76))
      and update when possible to ensure you have the latest security and feature
      enhancements.
    - Before updating the plugin on your live site, [test new versions in a staging or development environment](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-update-woocommerce/#testing-updates)
      to ensure compatibility and avoid disruptions.
    - If an update causes problems, please reach out to us with details so we can
      help troubleshoot or provide workarounds while we work towards a fix in the
      next release.
 * I hope that helps. Let us know if you need anything else.
