I am integrating stripe payments into my app. I switched out the Stripe default "Pay with Card" button for one I customized. After doing this, the test mode successfully pops-up and I can enter the test credentials. However, when I submit the test payment, and it is approved, it just stays on the same pin page rather than going to the charges page that I created for it.

Note: the app would transition just fine from stripe payment to the charges create.html.erb page up until I replaced the default stripe payment button with my new customized button.

Also, looking at developer tools I do note that it reads when I submit test payment:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'submit' of null 

I think this is referring to my code below where I submit the chargeForm.

Anyone encounter this issue before or know I can fix this? Many thanks!

Your Javascript code reads

document.getElementById("chargeForm").submit();

while your form name is chargesForm

<%= form_tag charges_path, id: 'chargesForm' do %>

I had a similar issue when in a page I had many forms for a delete action in a table. I was able to figure why I keep getting this error when I found out that the quotes(single or double quotes) must appear in the

  document.getElementById("whatever id keep quotes ").submit();

and make sure it matches the form id.

e.g.

  document.getElementById("'delform'.$key ").submit();

  <form id="delform.$key" action="" ></form>
