Stripe Fatal error

Error Message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Stripe needs the Multibyte String PHP extension.’ in ...

Cause:

The error occurs because Stripe requires the Multibyte String PHP extension to function properly.

Solution:

1. Contact your hosting provider and request that they enable the Multibyte String PHP extension on your server.
   PHP Manual – Multibyte String
2. Without this PHP module, Stripe will not work correctly.
