Paypal Express stopped working after upgrades

  • Hi,

    I have the Payment Pro hosted solution with a plugin from paypal to integrate it with Woocommerce. All was integrated in November and running fine. The site is https://www.1950sGlam.com

    With upgrades to Woocommerce (I have v.2.5.3 currently), the Paypal Express option has stopped working. The error is:

    “Cannot read property ‘app’ of null”

    The Paypal technicians have advised that it is some issue with changes to variations or the like within Woocommerce but are unable to be more specific.

    It was all configured by them to work with Woocommerce in November so the fail must have occurred with one of the updates since.

    Any advice on what is causing the fail and a fix for it?

    Many thanks in advance

    “Cannot read property ‘app’ of null”

    Sounds like something in the express plugins’ code itself. I’m not familiar with this one so it’s hard to say. Which paypal plugin is it, and by whom?

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the reply. It is a custom built plugin by paypal themselves. They tell me that the problem is with the updates to Woocommerce not with paypal. Since the plugin hasn’t had any updates but woocommerce has, I’m inclined to think that they’re right.

    Happy for you to take a look on the back end. Let me know where to send credentials.

    As WooCommerce it updated, plugins need to maintain compatibility, not the other way around. That said, this does not sound like something WC would cause and should be investigated by the developer. Our PayPal express module works in the current release.

    Are you sure it’s “paypal themselves”? I mean, Woothemes offer a PayPal express extension and they are partners. I highly doubt PayPal are competing with us given that partnership. Are you talking about the AngelEye extension?

    Mike, it is definitely Paypal who built that plugin. They had to do it because none of the other plugins, including the Woothemes and AngelEye (which we also tried) worked for the Paypal hosted solution in Australia. Paypal’s hosted Payments Pro is different in Australia to the US so this is why none of the others would work and they had to write their own. I tried to attach a screenshot to show you but it won’t allow me paste here.

    I think the culprit is somewhere in the last couple of updates because it was still fine with v.2.5.2.

    I was asking if you know what would be causing “Cannot read property ‘app’ of null” in terms of changes to variations which may have been done in those upgrades. Paypal will not give more info and are saying it is a Woocommerce issue.

    No clue, since WC core doesn’t use an ‘app’ property anywhere. https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=app&type=Code

    Ok but ‘app’ property is a paypal term apparently referring to variations.

    Can you please leave this query open in case someone else who knows what this is about can answer it.

    If you can share the source then someone can check that, otherwise not sure ?? Maybe paypal can give us some more details – being non-specific doesn’t help us.
