      I’m sorry for the delay getting back to you. Are you getting that error in the sandbox or live? It sounds like the sandbox could be acting up. Please let me know if you’re still having trouble and we can help figure out what’s going on.

    It does not show on my website. It is enabled in the plugin settings.

      Please make sure you are running the latest version of our plugin. Then you will find options specific to loading smart buttons on the checkout page in WooCommerce. Let me know if that doesn’t help.
