Hi

Live client is www.britchfordexport.com and has been running the Stripe payment plugin 1.0.9 for some time but is now getting failed payments.

The domain noted is a test area and not the clients live domain.

Getting "Cannot create the payment"

Am using Stripe test keys using e.g Visa test Card 4000 0082 6000 0000
Expiry 11/23
CVC 123
Postcode SL6 2DW or SL62DW (Our own postcode)

I have installed the latest version of the Stripe Payment plugin 1.0.9.
Updated Joomla to 3.10.11
Updated Template Versla to latest Vn 1.5.0
Updated Gantry 5 to Vn 5.5.14

Help!

Hi

Apologies, I have solved this error it was caused by my putting the same Publishable and Secret key in the plugin.

Hello,

The test card you're using is listed in the Stripe testing documentation : stripe.com/docs/testing
There is a notice before the section where your test card is listed :

Strong Customer Authentication regulations require 3D Secure authentication for online payments within the European Economic Area. The test cards in this section simulate a payment that succeeds without authentication. We recommend also testing scenarios that involve authentication, using 3D Secure test cards.

Depending the settings of your test account, these cards could return error messages too.
The 3D Secure cards might be better since the introduction of the Strong Customer Authentication.

Regards,
