Square API not allowing card information to be entered

Hi there,

I just tried to take a look several times, but I keep getting “Technical Difficulties”. Screenshot: https://cld.wthms.co/rOoX8Y

I will try again tomorrow.

Kind regards,

My client is having the same issue. You can’t enter the information. We tried disconnecting and re-connecting, but that did no good. And again, you can enter the information for Square when you’re logged into the website, but not in an incognito window. The site is https://vvego.com

Both of the sites have the SG Optimizer plugin. You need to go into that plugin and disable the “Minify JavaScript Files” option. Loading the “wc-square.min.js” file deferred breaks the checkout. This also applies to users of Autoptimize. However, with Autoptimize it can be excluded from the concatenation.

Here’s how to disable…

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll do that.

You can exclude it in SG Optimizer too, there’s a nice interface for that…

Hi @moirtechnology,

Did the reply from @everville help clear things up. It seems to definitely be cache related since you can use the Square card form when logged in but not when logged out.

I think excluding the correct files will get checkout working again for any users who get the cached and optimized files.

You need to exclude the wc-square.min.js from the Defer Render-Blocking Scripts optiization. We will add it to the global list of excludes but meanwhile, you can select it from the list of scripts with one click.

This is the intended way SG Optimizer works. Not every JS can be deferred without problems so this is why after enabling such optimization you need to look into your site and exclude everything that doesn’t work well!

Thanks a ton for the info and update @hristo-sg, it’s much appreciated. We all appreciate the work that helps SG Optimizer and WooCommerce play well together. ??

You’re welcome. We will release an update hopefully (unit test, etc.) tomorrow morning ??

That would be awesome! Thanks @hristo-sg. That’s one reason I recommend Site Ground to all of my clients. Your support is amazing.

Thanks for the kind words!

I’m finally back at my desk, the past 2 days have been hectic. I’ll let you know if the caching concept works! ??

Hi @moirtechnology Turning off .js minify worked for me! Thanks @ryanr14. Simple fix.

@patmarcello Awesome! Did you turn it off entirely or just the file (https://js.squareup.com/v2/paymentform)?

Woohoo, you guys helped me solve my issue, thank you so much! ??
@everville @hristo-sg

The solution that worked for me,
Through the SG Optimizer Plugin I did the following;
Minify Javascript Files, I excluded https://js.squareup.com/v2/paymentform
Defer Render-blocking JS, I excluded /plugins/woocommerce-square/assets/js/frontend/wc-square.min.js

Thanks guys! ??
