    Hi,
    When a member goes to renew using Stripe, if they put in incorrect card details or their payment fails for some reason, they receive a message ‘there is a critical error on this website’.
    When payment is successful, the redirect works well, sending them to a ‘thanks for renewing’ or ‘thanks for joining’ (depending on their status), but I REALLY need them to know that when payment is declined the problem is not at the website end – how can I add a redirect page or at least a message telling them payment is unsuccessful, that it’s not a problem with the actual website? Couldn’t find it in Stripe either, although happy to get any guidance!
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Marita

    Are you using the following Stripe buy now button?

    If not, then please use that. That one uses the new Stripe API. It will handle the actual credit card checkout on Stripe’s site and you shouldn’t have a site specific conflict causing an issue with the checkout process.

    Just advising that adding new buttons which are ‘SCA compliant’ did fix it. Looks much more professional too, especially with a bit of styling within Stripe so it uses the site colours when people pay.
    Thank you for your assistance.
