SyntaxError: Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0

I don’t think upgrading to the Pro version would make any difference for an error like this (though there are some great additional features ??

It almost sounds like something is conflicting with the AJAX return data on your server. It’s possible that this error would show more information if you turn on debugging.

Can you perform the following steps?

1. Log into your FTP site and edit wp-config.php
2. Set the following values (add the lines if they don’t exist):

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
    @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );

3. Return to your site and place another order, triggering the error.
4. Return to wp-config.php and set DEBUG back to false (reverting the changes made in Step 2)
5. Now go back to FTP and examine the debug log file /wp-content/debug.log

Thanks for the speedy reply!

I’ve completed your steps above. Here is the error in debug.log

I received an email with the debug log information.

This error means that your database user account doesn’t have the correct permissions for creating the gift card tables.

Send this error message to your website host and let them know that your account needs the “REFERENCES” privilege, even if it’s just temporary (once the tables are created you no longer need the permission).

My host said they updated the ‘references’ privilege but unfortunately it didn’t work.

I’ve had to move over to a different plugin. However, many thanks for your quick support, much appreciated!

Odd, that is the precise error from the plugin. Sorry that they couldn’t help get it installed, best of luck with your store!
