Payment gateway not working

  • June 20, 2021 5:12 PM EDT

    I am trying to add a payment gateway and I am getting an error when trying 

    Billing > Transactions or setting or gateways

    I was having the error before and after upgrading to 5.6.0. I haven't tried this for a couple of years on this network. I have another network on 5.5.0 and I don't have any error.

    Here is the error log

    Error Code: 40f9d8

    This has been posted in the community before with a fix. It is a database edit. You should try a search for the issue and if you are comfortable working in the database, you can do that query. If you are not comfortable working in the database, you can send a ticket and we can do it for you if you have support. It's just a corrupt connection to PayPal that can happen from time to time. The database query fixes it. I can look for the post later if you don't find it.

    Please always encase that in code tags as mentioned in our forum rules. I'll fix your post.

    I have found the post under PHP7 Payment Module Zend Decode Error and I have executed the SQL command that fixed the issue. For the benefits of others, here is the SQL command

    UPDATE `engine4_payment_gateways` SET `config`= null WHERE `title` = 'PayPal'

     

    Thanks a lot Donna

    Thank you for posting the solution too! I am just super swamped with 5.6.1 and v6 that I didn't have time to search right now. Glad you found it though!
