"We are no longer accepting orders" Google Pay problem

A customer brought this to my attention and sent me the following screenshot. "We are no longer accepting orders" when he tries to finalize his purchase with Google Pay.

 

Yes I have "Accept online orders" checked in my dashboard, and Google Pay enabled, as it has been since I started my webstore two years ago.

 

He was able to complete his transaction with a credit card, but I would like to know what's going on specifically with Google Pay.Capture.PNG

Update: It turns out the customer had to try his credit card twice, because the same error pictured above happened the first time he attempted his cc. It worked on the second try.

Hi @blackmoonnh,

 

Oh wow this is super weird! Sorry you are experiencing this. 

 

1) So the same issue happened when the seller used his credit card

 

2) Also is  this only happening with online sales, or in person too

 

3) Any other customers complain of having issues

 

When you have a moment if you can reply back with some additional information. Happy to help!

1. Yes, he tried the transaction 3 times. Once with Google Pay and got the error. Then with credit card and got the error. Then with credit card again (same one) and it worked that time.

 

2. Online only

 

3. This is the first I've heard of this issue. I would hope it's not widespread, but with online and abandoned carts it's hard to tell if the customers don't contact us about it.

@blackmoonnh It does appear we had some bugs with Google Pay a few months ago. But that issue has been resolved. 

 

I would certainly reach out to Square Online support, 1-855-700-6000 squ.re/contactsqsupport .

 

They can investigate this further, and file another ticket if needed. 

 

Sorry about this experience! Let us know if there is anything further we can help with.

This is 100% a more widespread problem than Square is leading onto. I have had customers telling me that they were experiencing similar issues for the last several months. I first chalked it up to "not everyone is tech savvy" and that some customers will always have challenges paying online. However, I began asking customers to take screenshots of where they were getting stuck in Checkout, and nearly 30 customers replied that day with screenshots of the "We are no longer accepting payments" error message. 

 

Furthermore, when I called into Square, they told me they had no knowledge of this error message or any issues with Square Pay and that my issues appear to be resolved. Here I am a week later, realizing nothing is resolved. After multiple rounds of testing my own site on a couple devices, I personally get the same "We are longer accepting orders" error message whether or not I check out with Google Pay. About 5 attempts all received this error. Then, out of nowhere, two of my test orders went through. Then, the following two tests reverted back to the same error message. 

 

My business's reputation is taking a big hit, customers are annoyed with me, I'm losing revenue, and I look like the incompetent one. Unfortunately, after 4 years with Square, I am going to have to walk if my ticket isn't resolved this week. Additionally, it's abysmal that there is no weekend website support. The main Square customer service cannot assist with anything that touches the Weebly side of things, including online payment processing errors like this.

Hello @butterbang I really hate to hear your customers continue to have an issue with checking out. We understand this is your business and reputation and it needs to be resolved immediately. I do see the Square Online advocate did reach back out via email on 8/8/23 and asked for some additional information. In order for our team to address the issue sellers have to report it. If we are not getting any inquiries about it our team will not look at it as an overarching issue but more account-specific. Please reply back to the advocate so our team can continue to look into this. 

If you need anything else don't hesitate to let us know. We really appreciate you working with us to resolve this! 🙏

Thanks, Maya. I actually spoke with another rep last night and sent over the requested screenshots and documentation. 

 

One of the issues I have run into is that when Square CS tries to troubleshoot payment issues, they seldom can replicate these bugs because they don't use real credit cards/payments to test (just the dummy credit card numbers to force a transaction). And unfortunately those dummy numbers are not going to fully replicate a real payment environment that would trigger the same bug.
