 * When my clients go to checkout it gives them the error : Error processing checkout.
   Please try again.
 * I have deactivated all my plugins except woocommerce related ones, i have changed
   my theme to Twenty Fifteen, and it still shows the same problem.
 * Here is my system report:

 * Hey there [@rcwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcwebdesign/)
 * From other messages, we’re seeing this is related to a conflict happening on 
   the site.
 * The error message you mentioned is just a generic message used for many things,
   so first we’ll need to figure out the actual error. To do this, we’ll need to
   enable logging for the plugin.
 * Please go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments** then click the Manage button
   beside Square. On the following page, please enable logging and then click save.
   What this does is save the communication between your site and Square’s servers.
 * Now that you’ve enabled logging, you’ll need to try placing an order so that 
   we can capture the message.
 * Once you’ve tried placing the order, please go to WooCommerce > Status > Logs.
   From the drop down menu, please select the most recently dated Square Gateway
   log. Copy and paste it’s contents into a reply to us please. That will help us
   figure out the issue.
 * A few things to keep in mind with using the Square plugin:
    – Your website’s 
   currency must match your Square accounts – Transactions need to be for a minimum
   of $1
 * Also, I’d recommend changing your theme to a default one like Storefront and 
   testing using that. Here is some more details about conflict troubleshooting –
   [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
 * I hope this information helps, but if you still have any questions please let
   us know!
 * Thanks,

 * Hey [@rcwebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcwebdesign/),
 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread or open a support
   ticket via WooCommerce.com.
 * Thanks,
