Page stays in cart page with cc# showing and then results in multiple orders as customers do not think it is working (so they hit it again and again). * If I deactivate this plugin, everything works ok. – order processed, no PHP errors, thank you page works fine. * If I run it with plugin activated to get the above P{HP Fatal error, Google Developer Tools tells me this: POST [https://www.etyum.com/?wc-ajax=checkout](https://www.etyum.com/?wc-ajax=checkout) 500 send @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 ajax @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 submit @ checkout.min.js?ver=4.6.0:1 dispatch @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 r.handle @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 trigger @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 (anonymous) @ jquery. js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 each @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:2 each @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4- wp:2 trigger @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 n.fn. @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4- wp:4 sourceResponse @ stripe.min.js?ver=4.5.3:1 Promise.then (async) createSource @ stripe.min.js?ver=4.5.3:1 onSubmit @ stripe.min.js?ver=4.5.3:1 dispatch @ jquery. js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 r.handle @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 trigger @ jquery.js?ver =1.12.4-wp:3 triggerHandler @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 submit @ checkout.min. js?ver=4.6.0:1 dispatch @ jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:3 r.handle @ jquery.js?ver= 1.12.4-wp:3 * It seems pretty clear this plugin is not playing nicely with WooCommerce.

It should normally only be triggered once. * We will add support for such a situation. * Thread Starter [paulag01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulag01/) * (@paulag01) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-plugin-breaks-ordering-process/#post-13544500) * Do you have an ETA for solution? Just so I can advise client.

This can cause other problems. * Thank you. * Thread Starter [paulag01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulag01/) * (@paulag01) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-plugin-breaks-ordering-process/#post-13544598) * Thank you. * I’m not sure where I would start to figure out why that is called multiple times. Any idea (KB article, etc) of where to start to see why? Perhaps it is the multiple Woocommerce plugins they have running. * Plugin Author [Grzegorz Rola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grola/) * (@grola) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-plugin-breaks-ordering-process/#post-13544656) * You can serach for ‘woocommerce_init’ text in plugins and themes source files. Maybe other plugins triggers this action. * Plugin Support [Marta Borówka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martapaw/) * (@martapaw) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-plugin-breaks-ordering-process/#post-13568491) * Hello [@paulag01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulag01/), * Please note that the latest version of our plugin should support your problem. * Best regards, Marta * Thread Starter [paulag01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulag01/) * (@paulag01) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-plugin-breaks-ordering-process/#post-13597224) * Thank you – The new release for the plugin solved the errors.
