Update Billing Info not working with Stripe

Looking further into the issue from Stripe, it seems my website is not passing the country correctly.

Stripe reports this error:

parameter_invalid_empty – billing_details[address][country]
You passed an empty string for ‘billing_details[address][country]’. We assume empty values are an attempt to unset a parameter; however ‘billing_details[address][country]’ cannot be unset. You should remove ‘billing_details[address][country]’ from your request or supply a non-empty value.

{
  "billing_details": {
    "address": {
      "line2": "",
      "line1": "1234 Main Street",
      "state": "CO",
      "city": "Denver",
      "postal_code": "80234",
      "country": ""
    },
    "name": "John Smith"
  },

The country is coming from a drop down menu on the Billing Info page. This has always been there. So seems like a new bug..

Hello @ben-castellani,

I’m sorry to hear you are getting this error. We have seen this on sites using our Multiple Memberships Per User. If you are using this plugin, also you can apply the fix to your site until the update is released.

If you are not using MMPU and getting this error, it would help to know what other plugins you have installed.

HEllo @kimwhite,

Thanks for the link, but I am not using that specific plugin. For PMP, I have only the bbPress Addon and “Cancel on Next Payment Date”.

I have a lot of non PMP plugins installed on my site. I have one called “Accept Stripe Payments” but that is not a new one for me.

I did notice that Stripe says they updated their API on November 15th for the first time in a long time. May be related.

Thank you so much @ben-castellani, for providing this information.

It appears our billing page is having the same issues. Our developers created a fix, and it will be included in our next update.

If you are comfortable editing code or have a developer working with, you can apply the fix yourself to the paid-memberships-pro/pages/billing.php page.

Otherwise, the fix will be included in our next PMPro update.

Thank you,

Thanks, Kim. I tried to implement the fix but it did not work. It is not urgent so I will just await the next update. Cheers.

Hello Ben!
The update to fix this went out Wednesday morning!

Thank you again for using Paid Memberships Pro!
