So you have an old version of the plugin. That's why you're getting this error on a new version of PHP. If you wish to continue using this payment plugin, then you should update it with the latest version available on github: [ github.com/HikaShop/hikashoppayment-platron](https://github.com/HikaShop/hikashoppayment-platron) This would automatically fix the problem. Otherwise, I would recommend removing it from your website.

The problem was that I *tried* to add the new PayPal method, but couldn't do so due to this error. After my manual edit, I could add the new one (and remove the old).
