It's not the wooCommerce they don't make silly mistakes like Paytm's dumb developers. I don't think they test it before publishing the release. There is only one release on GitHub that was in 2020 with no change-log or any explanation and the same with the WordPress releases. You will find absolutely nothing useful in case of any major error like this one. A lot of people are losing customers and sales because of this kind of silly error in the paytm.

To quick fix, the problem Go to class.paytm.php and inside the __construct method uncomment the //$this->title and change to $this-> title = 'some string or leave it empty ' <--- should be line number 27. This will fix the fetal problem that you have.

To quick fix other minor errors

inside the class.paytm.php there is method init_form_fields() and inside this method there is$getPaytmSetting = get_option('woocommerce_paytm_settings'); Which gives bool false if there is no woocommerce_paytm_settings which cause an error on line number 77 $getPaytmSetting['website'] So just add check there $website = !empty($getPaytmSetting) ? $getPaytmSetting['website'] : '';

Another one is in the woo-paytm.php on line number 167 $settings = get_option("woocommerce_paytm_settings"); Quick fix if (!empty($settings)) { // paytm enabled and order is exists with paym_order_data if ($settings['enabled'] == 'yes' && !empty($results)) { add_meta_box( '_paytm_response_table', __('Paytm Payments'), '_paytm_response_table', 'shop_order', 'normal', 'default', array('results' => $results) ); } }

Hope that fixes the problems and your site will be up and running.

And paytm developers you should test everything thoroughly before releasing it.
