Bitpay Payment Gateway Error

[gsupp]

I'm having trouble with the BitPay payment gateway. At first when checking out and clicking the "Pay with BitPay" button, the page just went back to step 1 in the checkout process. I read in another thread that this means there was an error with the BitPay gateway and to check the logs. (It might be better to display an error, rather than just going back to step 1 if there's an issue.)

 

The logs are showing:

 

https://bitpay.com/api/invoice/

a:1:{s:5:"error";s:67:"Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates";}

It sounds like your PHP curl is not accepting bitpay.com's SSL certificate. This should be fixed on your server, but you may be able to get around it by editing components/gateways/nonmerchant/bitpay/lib/bp_lib.php. Search for CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and change it from 1 to false. You may need to change CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST also, but I'm not certain.
