Blank pending payment orders following HPOS upgrade

    Hello,

    We upgraded to H.P.O.S. and immediately started noticing empty Pending Payment status orders.

    We traced these orders to the Add Payment Method page, as Mailchimp was kind enough to attribute orders for us. We were noticing around half of all orders coming through in this state, no data on the order itself except for the Add Payment Method attribution. It’s likely that much of the Add Payment Method activity is coming from a bot or two.

    The workaround was to disable Tokenization or the saving of payment methods.

    This issue affects other SkyVerge library payment plugins and certainly this Braintree one in our experience.

    Here’s where a commenter detailed the problem and potential solutions: Stack Overflow answer regarding function get_order_for_add_payment_method from file woocommerce-gateway-paypal-powered-by-braintree/vendor/skyverge/wc-plugin-framework/woocommerce/payment-gateway/class-sv-wc-payment-gateway-direct.php

    Please fix this so that we can re-enable Tokenization while continuing to use H.P.O.S.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for contacting us here at Woo.com!

    Just to make sure I understand the issue, after upgrading to H.P.O.S, you start seeing empty Pending Payment status orders. It happens with all payment methods, right?

    Could you please provide us with a screenshot of an order?

    If you don’t already have a screenshot service installed, here are a few free options:

    There is also a walkthrough guide here: https://wordpress.com/support/make-a-screenshot/

    Also, Can you also navigate to **WooCommerce > Status > Logs** and see if there are any recent?fatal?errors?

    Hi @fetenlakhal

    We trashed those empty orders after discovering the cause and applying the workaround (disabling Tokenization in gateway settings). Empty orders was creating a perception of lost orders within the organization, which had to be addressed quickly.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Setup with WooCommerce and the latest Braintree payment gateway (test mode might suffice), HPOS enabled, and gateway Tokenization enabled.
    2. Log in using a Customer account.
    3. Visit My Account > Payment Methods > Add payment method and complete the process.
    4. Consider making a few attempts at this to gather data (success or fail should reproduce either way).
    5. Log in as a Shop Manager or Administrator user.
    6. Visit WP Admin > Woo > Orders and notice the mostly empty Pending payment orders, one for each Add payment method attempt.

    No PHP fatal errors were observed. This is just the way the SkyVerge library uses an Order object to apply payment methods to user accounts. With HPOS enabled this creates empty Pending payment orders, causing confusion. Normal orders still flow in properly.

    Hi @seanconklin

    Many thanks for the information you’ve sent over so far! This does indeed look like a bug with the Braintree extension; we’ve sent your report over to the developers for further investigation.

    While I don’t have a timeline for when a fix would be implemented, I definitely suggest keeping an eye out on the plugin changelogs for further information:
