 * Hello There,
 * Only since your last update the checkout no longer works. When I click in the
   box office to buy, the following error message occurs:
 * SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON 
   data
 * If I turn off their plugin, everything works without error. All plugins, WC and
   WP are up to date.
 * WP: 4.3
    WC: 2.4.5 WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips: 1.5.21
 * I hope they can help me quickly on.

 * Hello,
    This plugin doesn’t do anything in the checkout, and certainly does not
   use JSON. I think it could be two things: 1) There is a conflict with another
   plugin that is somehow involving the PDF invoice plugin in the checkout. 2) The
   error was always there, but the plugin may be crashing for another reason and
   this is why the error shows (normally would be hidden from sight if the woocommerce
   continued). If you are using WPML, this may be caused by the last WPML update,
   see [https://wpml.org/forums/topic/settings-in-woocommerce-pdf-invoices-plugin-get-reset-to-default-values/](https://wpml.org/forums/topic/settings-in-woocommerce-pdf-invoices-plugin-get-reset-to-default-values/)
   for more information.
 * Let me know if that helps!

 * Once I disable the plugin “SUMO Reward Points” everything goes normal. If I activate
   this plugin again and deselect “WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips” working
   again everything. I Activate course all as it gets and it always comes this error
   message. The author of “SUMO Reward Points” had me already written that it is
   not due to his plugin but this here. WPML I do not use.

 * It could also simply be a memory issue, and the extra plugin in one too many.
   What’s you memory limit? You can see this in the status tab of the plugin.

 * I’m flat out of ideas on this one. It could still be the php memory limit (which
   always overrules the WP Memory Limit), although I don’t think that’s the case
   here.
 * Besides the SUMO rewards points plugin, have you tried disabling others too? (
   I would check: Email Validation, Payment Methods and Ajax Search first).
    Again,
   I can’t see any connection to the PDF Invoice plugin, as it doesn’t do anything
   in the checkout (it only attaches a PDF to an email) and it doesn’t use JSON 
   either.
 * Can I check this out live?

 * So WP Memory is set in the config at 256MB. PHP Memory is in the php.ini also
   at 256MB. That should be enough actually. Before everything had still works. 
   Yes. Have all plugins gradually disabled and tested the checkout. Only when these
   two plugins is the error. Here is the shop I just construction. Since you can
   test it with a test order.

 * I tried placing a test order, but it gave me an error about SEPA and wouldn’t
   let me continue. “Bitte erteilen Sie das SEPA Lastschriftmandat.”
    How do I get
   around this?

 * Sorry, there was a bug of another plugin (WooCommerce Germanized: von Vendidero).
   Even after the update it has not worked. Now I have this plugin here once deactivated,
   deleted and another invoice plugin installed. Now everything goes back. Sorry
   but then lay it here on this plugin. Thank you anyway.
