I completely understand how confusing and frustrating it can be when a setup that previously worked suddenly breaks. * From the error, it appears that Stripe isn’t receiving essential payment details such as the credit card information or payment method ID — instead, it’s getting empty values. This kind of issue is usually caused by JavaScript errors or the payment form not loading correctly, which prevents the data from being properly processed. * Since you’re using a custom checkout built with Vue, it’s likely that the integration is interfering with WooCommerce and Stripe’s standard processes. Because this involves a custom implementation, it falls outside the scope of our regular support. I recommend reaching out to a [WooCommerce expert ](https://woocommerce.com/development-services/#find-partner) or a Vue developer familiar with WordPress, such as those available on platforms like Codeable.io, or consulting with other developers through the [WooCommerce Slack community.](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/) * Plugin Support [Ejay F – a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ejayfernandes/) * (@ejayfernandes) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18581157) * Hey there, Since we haven’t heard back in a bit, we’ll go ahead and mark this as resolved. If there’s anything else you’d like to follow up on, we’d be more than happy to continue from where we left off. Just let us know.If you found our support helpful, we’d be really thankful if you could leave us a review. It would mean a lot to us:[https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/reviews/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/reviews/#new-post) * Thread Starter [Carmelo Baglieri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmelobaglieri/) * (@carmelobaglieri) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18581831) * Hi Moses, sorry for the delay. The problem is not the vue integration, the card is fully loaded and it works, the problem may be is the _upe payment_. It seems the plugin load ‘wc-stripe-payment-method-upe’ but it isn’t the correct post field needed from the plugin class to process the payment, it should be? * [Moses M. (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mosesmedh/) * (@mosesmedh) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18582279) * Hi [@carmelobaglieri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmelobaglieri/), * Thanks for getting back to me, your observation is absolutely valid. * In the log you shared, both payment_method and payment_method_details are empty. This suggests that even though the card component is loading correctly, the payment method isn’t being captured or passed to the Stripe plugin during checkout. * The log also confirms that wc-stripe-payment-upe was loaded, meaning the WooCommerce Stripe plugin is using the UPE (Unified Payment Experience), not the legacy Elements version: [UPE Gateway Source](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/blob/develop/includes/payment-methods/class-wc-stripe-upe-payment-gateway.php) * So, your Vue integration needs to support UPE, not the older Elements approach. While UPE is part of the flow here, the root issue remains that no payment_method ID is being generated or submitted during the payment process. To resolve this, your Vue app should be aligned with Stripe’s UPE implementation. * Thread Starter [Carmelo Baglieri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmelobaglieri/) * (@carmelobaglieri) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18583498) * Thank you for the answer. The Vue app is just a checkout wrapper, infact I tried to load the checkout normally and the problem is the same. * The runned function is _process\_payment\_with\_payment\_method_ and _payment\ _informations_ not contains _payment\_method_. * [LovingBro (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lovingbro/) * (@lovingbro) * [10 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18583569) * Hi [@carmelobaglieri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmelobaglieri/), * Thank you for your follow-up and for clarifying that the issue persists even when using the default checkout, independent of the Vue wrapper. That’s definitely helpful to know. * To better isolate the cause, have you tried doing a full plugin conflict test to rule out any interference from other active plugins or your theme? You can follow this guide to safely test for conflicts: [https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) * Also, just to confirm — when you mentioned downgrading the WooCommerce Stripe plugin, did reverting to an earlier version (e.g., prior to 9.4.1) actually resolve the issue with the missing payment_method field? That would help us narrow down if a change in the plugin version introduced the behavior. * Looking forward to hearing how it goes! Let’s see what we uncover next. * Thread Starter [Carmelo Baglieri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carmelobaglieri/) * (@carmelobaglieri) * [10 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/payment_method-not-created/#post-18588287) * Sorry, it was my theme, thank you for your support * [Moses M.

You can contact the theme’s support team to inform them so they can work on an update, or consider switching to a different theme. * In the meantime, if the support you’ve received here has been helpful, we’d really appreciate it if you could leave us a review: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/reviews/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/reviews/#new-post) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘payment_method not created’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3177277) * [WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-gateway-stripe/reviews/) * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Moses M.
