Common Issues and Troubleshooting

The following section provides helpful troubleshooting information should you experience trouble with the add-on or integration.

1. PayUmoney Gateway Error: “Sorry, Some Problem Occurred”

This vague error essentially means that an issue occurred with the request sent from your website via GiveWP to PayUmoney. Most likely this is caused by incorrect Merchant Key or Merchant Salt being entered within the GiveWP Settings. Double-check that the correct LIVE / TEST Merchant Key and Merchant Salt keys are entered.

For instance, if GiveWP is in Test Mode you must have appropriate PayUmoney Test keys entered. The same goes for LIVE mode.

2. PayUmoney Error: “Merchant has to use his own email to make the payment.”

This error means your account has not been approved for payments yet. If you are in TEST mode, simply use your test account email rather than the one you’re supplying. If you are in live mode you will have to contact PayUmoney to activate your account: techsupport@payumoney.com
