how to integrate with Stripe or PayPal gateway to process payment.

Hi! How can we integrate with Stripe?

I get:

Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_name() on string in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/abstracts/abstract-wc-order.php:1365

Stack trace:

#0: WC_Abstract_Order->add_product('17818', 1)

#1: give_user_subscription('17818', '10754', 'added via automation')

#2 {main} thrown in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/abstracts/abstract-wc-order.php on line 1365

It seems it's cause I calld add_product using a product ID, so the solution is to use wc_get_product($ID)

So now I get failure to create subscription, invalid billing_period. I switched it to let me choose from wcs_get_subscription_period_strings(), and I used "year"

Now I get

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function backorders_require_notification() on bool in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-subscriptions/includes/class-wc-subscription.php:2467

Stack trace:

#0 /public_html/photoswipe/auto/index.php(577): WC_Subscription->add_product(false, 1)

#1: give_user_subscription(false, '10754', 'year', 'added via automation')

#2 {main} thrown in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-subscriptions/includes/class-wc-subscription.php on line 2467

I know the product ID is correct, why would wc_get_product fail to find it?

HI could someone assist me with this ? I am looking at using Automate Woo - and custom function to create a subscription from a quote - I am not too familiar with php code so help would be appreciated.
I would need to get the customer and product information from the quote when generated - if a checkbox on the quote is checked.

thanks

$order->add_product( $product, 1 ); this should be a WC_Product object instance, not a product ID.

How would you renew an existing subscription?

Hi,
I want to use this code for the switch subscription, so how can I add switch subscription data in order meta?
