Change intelligence · First wedge: WordPress plugins

What just changed—and what should you do?

We turn scattered changelogs, support threads, and official documentation into evidence-backed decisions. WordPress plugins are the first wedge—not the final boundary.

Focused tracker

WooCommerce payment issues we’re tracking

Current direction: the strongest signal is not broad plugin news. It is WooCommerce payment, checkout, order-total, shipping, webhook, and reconciliation problems where money or order accuracy may be at risk.

The hub groups the payment records into one triage surface so store owners and developers can quickly decide what to check first.

Active incident record

WooCommerce Stripe 10.8.x: successful payments stuck in Pending Payment

Latest confirmed status: version 10.8.2 was released on June 15, 2026 with fixes intended to prevent Adaptive Pricing orders from remaining pending after successful payment and to prevent some webhook payments from being dropped.

The decision record separates affected versions, immediate order reconciliation, webhook checks, staging, and the safest update path.

Confirmed capability removal

Mollie removed Payconiq from its WooCommerce plugin

Confirmed change: version 8.1.3 deleted the Payconiq payment method. The current release line has advanced to 8.1.7 without restoring it.

Merchants actively using Payconiq should prepare and test another checkout method before updating from 8.1.2 or earlier.

Confirmed default change

WooCommerce PayPal enabled Pay with Crypto by default for eligible merchants

Confirmed change: version 4.0.1 enabled Pay with Crypto by default for eligible merchants. Later changelogs through 4.0.4 do not state that the default was reversed.

Eligible stores should inspect settings and the customer-facing checkout, then intentionally keep or disable the method rather than assuming the update preserved the prior payment-method mix.

Confirmed platform requirement

WP Super Cache 3.1 requires WordPress 6.8 or newer

Confirmed change: version 3.1.0 raised the minimum WordPress version to 6.8. The current 3.1.1 release keeps that requirement and includes security hardening and reliability fixes.

Sites on WordPress 6.7 or earlier should test and complete the WordPress core upgrade first—or defer the cache-plugin update temporarily rather than forcing an unsupported combination.

Revenue-impacting payment mismatch

WooCommerce PayPal 4.0.4 discount applied twice / amount mismatch

Confirmed status: public support threads reported discount and rounding mismatches after 4.0.4, and the 4.1.0 changelog includes fixes for inclusive-tax rounding, negative-fee mismatch, gift-card calculation, and PayPal line-item mismatches.

Stores that processed discounted or tax-sensitive PayPal orders on 4.0.4 should reconcile PayPal totals against WooCommerce totals before assuming the issue was only visual.

Checkout availability incident

WooCommerce Stripe 10.8.3 checkout error after update

Confirmed pattern: a support thread connected an initCheckout / Basil / Stripe.js checkout error to Adaptive Pricing running against stale or conflicting Stripe.js after 10.8.3.

Stores should clear all cache layers, exclude Stripe.js from local caching, and avoid running WooPayments and the standalone Stripe Gateway together unless both are intentionally configured.

Revenue reconciliation incident

Stripe charged an order without shipping cost

Reported issue: one support case showed WooCommerce recording a paid order total while Stripe captured less, with the missing amount matching shipping plus VAT.

Stores should compare WooCommerce totals against Stripe captured amounts before treating affected orders as fully reconciled.

Read the audit decision
Database / server load incident

Mollie cancelled payment order note loop

Reported issue: abandoned Bancontact and TWINT payments caused repeated cancelled-payment order notes, database bloat, and server load in a public support report.

Affected stores should contain the loop, back up the database, preserve evidence, resolve stuck pending orders, and verify whether an update stops the repeated writes.

Read the containment decision
Currency / capture mismatch

Stripe captures only 1/100 amount with WPML Multi-Currency

Reported issue: the WooCommerce Stripe support forum lists a current topic about USD orders capturing only 1/100 of the amount when using WPML Multi-Currency.

Stores should pause the affected currency/payment path, compare WooCommerce totals against Stripe captures, and preserve order and plugin-version evidence before making customer or accounting changes.

Read the currency audit decision
Shipping / payment total mismatch

PayPal total missing shipping in WooCommerce

Reported issue: the WooCommerce PayPal Payments support forum lists a current topic about shipping not being included in the PayPal total.

Stores should compare PayPal transaction totals with WooCommerce shipping, tax, discounts, and refunds before fulfillment or accounting close.

Read the shipping reconciliation decision
Intermittent checkout failure

PayPal/card payments fail intermittently: OrderProcessor.php:109

Support signal: a detailed support thread reported PayPal approval without capture, card failures at OrderProcessor.php:109, and webhook verification failures; plugin support said the pattern may indicate a race condition or timing issue.

Stores should preserve logs, compare successful and failed attempts, verify PayPal capture status, and escalate privately with order IDs and timestamps.
