 * When trying to make a test payment in the amount of $1.45 I continue to get the
   generic payment failed error of “Error: Square was unable to complete the transaction.
   Please try again later or use another means of payment.”
 * I’ve set the active theme to TwentySeventeen and disabled all plugins apart from
   WooCommerce and WooCommerce Square. I have enabled logging and have attached 
   the log for my most recent failed attempt below.

   => idempotency_key )

 * As mentioned above, I am making a payment exceeding $1 and I've tried the normal
   troubleshooting steps of activating a default theme and disabling all plugings.
   I'm at a loss as to what to try next, and am about a hair's breadth away from
   calling it quits and going with PayPal.

 * Hey [@moboticus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moboticus/),
 * Sorry about the trouble you are having with this. We have seen a handful of users
   that are experiencing this error. As it’s isolated to only a couple customers,
   we are trying to determine what may be in common across your sites or if this
   is an issue on Square’s end.
 * So that we can take you to the open case that our development team is working
   on, can you please make a new ticket with our team. You can contact us at [WooCommerce.com > My Account > Tickets](https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/?form=ticket)?
   You may need to create an account. When opening the ticket, please make sure 
   to select the Square plugin and include the information you shared here in this
   post. We will then be able to work with you further through that ticket.
