Kenyan Web Developer with Experience in WooCommerce & iPay API

Hello guys,
I hope you are doing great...
I am busy with other projects so I need a hand troubleshooting this.

I used a theme called WorkReap that manages payments via WooCommerce... and here is the trouble.
We use iPay Woocommerce payment plugin which allows us to collect payment in shillings through M-PESA STK Push...

How it should work

1. There is an STK push on SIM once you click checkout via WooCommerce checkout
2. Money is sent and verification is done automatically
3. On verification, the interface redirects to payment success page and project is awarded and workstream started.

However this is what happens now,

Recent updates in WooCommerce made it impossible to complete payments and redirect after paying via MPESA...It ends up in a white screen...

Here is a sample of the error logs

PHP Warning: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /plugins/woocommerce3.x-ipay-iframe/wc_ipay.php on line 374

PHP Warning: stream_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be resource, bool given in /plugins/woocommerce3.x-ipay-iframe/wc_ipay.php on line 375

PHP Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, bool given in /plugins/woocommerce3.x-ipay-iframe/wc_ipay.php on line 376

If you are able to sort this issue, there is more work on the same project in the near future.

PS: I am asking for Kenyans because they use MPESA, it would be very difficult for guys not using MPESA to test this... but if you are from a different county and has access to mpesa, then, well and good, get in touch.

Regards
