WooPayments 8.0 kills 3rd party payment methods

Hey there, @everade! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

Thank you for reporting this!

We are doing our best to fix it as soon as possible.

Have a wonderful day!

I’m experiencing the same issue with a fatal error on my website. I managed to recover the site by removing the plugin, but I’d really like to add the WooCommerce Payments plugin so I can start accepting payments. For now, I’m using PayPal.

I’m looking forward to getting this fixed. Thank you so much!

Hi @carolm29

Here is some information about the reason some payment gateways are skipped since 8.0.0 was released.

The reason this is happening is our Stripe and PayPal plugins hook into the init action triggered by WordPress. https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/init/. Typically that’s the action you want to use for plugin setup. WooCommerce triggers a filter called woocommerce_payment_gateways that all payment integrations use to add their payment methods.

In this latest update for WooPayments, they are hooking into the setup_theme action and initializing the WC_Payment_Gateways class before our plugin’s payment gateways can be registered because setup_theme is triggered before init.

Hi @mariacadabra,

Just as my colleague has shared above, our developers are working on a fix and this will be available as soon as possible.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the swift replies.
However keep in mind that the github discussion seems to be focused on the “PayPal Payments” plugin crash only. But the v8 update also broke further payment gateway plugins such as i originally mentioned “Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce” which is NOT related to “Paypal Payments” from woo. Which doesn’t crash, it just doesn’t show up any longer within WooCommerce -> Payments and thus can no longer be activated.

So i just hope you guys make sure to also look at this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/woopayments-8-0-kills-3rd-party-payment-methods/#post-17925382

Have a nice day, and looking forward to the fixes.

Alright, 8.0.1 fixed all the issues.
Awesome, thanks everyone!

As you report, @everade, the 8.0.1 patch is now available correct this issue. The change that caused this was reverted.

@everade @mrclayton @mariacadabra your detailed reports and investigation were invaluable. The engineering team is actively discussing your feedback and we’ll be incorporating it to avoid similar compatibility issues in the future.

Hi @everade,

I understand your concern about this issue.

I can confirm that a patch has already been made by our developers, could you help us confirm if the issue still persists by updating to the latest plugin version from a staging site?

Looking forward to your reply.

@ckadenge
Yes, as stated here already:

It fixed the issue with “Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce” as well.

Thank you
