Hi,
For the connect not working, I'm not sure, however, for the checkout, I tested it working fine just before the release.
What message do you have on the backend below the "connect" button. It should display a green message if the credentials are correct, and if not it should display a red error message. Do you see that ?
On the frontend, the issue could be linked to a javascript error. It's hard to say exactly what the problem is without being able to look into it. We would need a screenshot of the settings of the payment method (please remove the credentials from it), and the URL of the shop to be able to reproduce the issue and analyze it.
Could you provide that ?
