 * Having the same issue as JackTheKnife – payment processing error. Payment processing
   working fine until this morning. All customers currently getting “Payment processing
   error” message when completing purchase.
 * Saw that his issue was resolved, however we aren’t “coders”. Is this an issue
   with the update that more people are having, or do we need to hire someone to
   fix this?

 * What gateway are you using when getting this error? Are you able to checkout 
   with one of the core gateways like BACS?

 * We use SimplifyCommerce. Sorry, that may not be what you’re asking.

 * Could you double check to make sure your SimplifyCommerce API keys are correct?
   Also make sure you are using the correct payment mode (Standard vs Hosted), as
   each may require different api keys.
 * And then were you able to test checkout using BACS or Check Payment? This will
   help determine if it is a Simplify bug or not.

 * Just to say, Paypal had problems this afternoon and my customers were also unable
   to complete their orders. It’s now resolved, apparently.

 * API keys are correct. We only take credit card payments — no option for check
   payments on our site. We have not changed anything and have been getting multiple
   orders with no issue — until this morning.

 * Right, but you can enable the check payment option temporarily and just do a 
   test order with it. That will help narrow down the issue…
 * Also, please try temporarily disabling all plugins except for WooCommerce and
   Simplify, and switch to a default theme. Then test to see if the error still 
   occurs. More info on this here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-debug-issues-after-updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-debug-issues-after-updates)

 * The orders are coming through…however there is a yellow clock symbol by each 
   order that shows “pending payment”.

 * I did the update to Shipping Zones and deleted the legacy shipping methods. Payments
   can be processed now. Resolved.
