While you wait, don't do these three things

  • 🗑️Don't delete anythingNot files, not plugins, not the "suspicious" folder. Whatever is there is what your technician reads to work out what happened.
  • Don't restore an old backup over itRestoring on top usually overwrites the evidence and, if the way in is still open, you get re-infected within hours.
  • 🧑‍🔧Don't let anyone else start work on itTwo people changing things at once turns a one-hour fix into a three-hour one. Your technician calls shortly.
Want the call to go faster? Answer what you know Optional — every answer is one less question on the call. "Not sure" is a fine answer.

Why this happens

Payment gateways evolve constantly: API versions retire, webhook signatures change, keys rotate, and accounts get new verification requirements. Your site's integration must keep up — and when a plugin update lags or a webhook secret drifts, payments break. The worst failures are asymmetric: the charge succeeds at Stripe but the confirmation never reaches your site, so customers pay and get nothing. Those need urgent reconciliation, not just a fix. We repair the integration, replay/reconcile missed events, and test with real transactions before calling it done.

Questions about this fix

Usually yes — the gateway holds the full event history, so missed webhooks can be replayed or manually reconciled. We do this as part of the fix.
Account-level suspensions are between you and Stripe, but we prepare the technical evidence they ask for and fix whatever triggered it (often a hacked site — see our malware service).
Yes — all mainstream Canadian gateways. Same flat fee range.
Book anyway via our emergency page (/sample/site-rescue-experts/emergency) — the diagnostic call sorts the label, and the $29 credits to whatever the fix turns out to be. Afterwards, a care plan (/sample/site-rescue-experts/website-care-plans) keeps it from happening again.
