Description: cannot use the plugin because a stange error message is displayed when making a payment.

What happened?

When a customer tries to make a payment the plugin displays the following error message:

“Stripe no longer supports API requests made with TLS 1.0. Please initiate HTTPS connections with TLS 1.2 or later. You can learn more about this at https://stripe.com/blog/upgrading-tls.”

Why is it happening?

Stripe stopped supporting TLS v1.0 on May 1, 2017. TLS is a cryptographic protocol which was phased out in favor of TLS v1.2 .

How to solve?

Please update OpenSSL on your webserver to support TLS 1.2 .
