Stripe spurious whitespace in key error

Hello,

can I check your settings somehow? You can send me admin account credentials to [email protected] if you don’t mind so I could check what’s wrong.

Thanks.

On a hunch I tried creating a new invoice and it worked. I had created a number of invoices and had been making changes (including fixing an actual whitespace error) to try and get the invoice payment to work.

Any new invoice I create can be successfully paid. All old invoices cannot be paid and continue to show the key error. I tried to copy an existing invoice to see what would happen but that functionality doesn’t appear to be working (the form doesn’t pull up any old invoices). But thats a different bug for a different day.

I am concerned about this error though. This behaves as if when you create an invoice the SW makes copies of the Stripe keys at that time to store/associate with the invoice. If so that not only causes unexpected behavior, but making unnecessary copies of sensitive information increases the chance of a security breach.

What do you think? Is this known behavior or a potential bug?

Let me know if you need anything to assist in debugging. This should be fairly easy to replicate: set up a new fresh install, enter a key with whitespace in it (in my case it was a leading whitespace in the private test key). Create some invoices and test. Fix the key white space issue. Test. Create new invoices. Test.

I’m using the newest WP-Invoice and WP.

Your are right. Plugin has GENERAL getaways settings on Settings page and specific settings for EVERY invoice you created (bottom of edit invoice page https://screencast.com/t/cv18atCTCaA ). So if you decided to change general payment gateways settings you should remember that invoice specific will not be updated. I think this is an answer to your question about temporary bug.

Regarding whitespace in keys – next release will fix this by trimming keys before using.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

I looked and you are correct, the invoice specific settings still have the old key. I modified the invoice copy and payment succeeded.

Keeping this many copies of the key floating around seems like trouble.

It is easy to manage when you remember that you have specific settings. Just need to understand how it works once.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.
