Resolved: Invoice Expiry Issue Using Cryptomus on Clientexec
We complained regarding the client facing an invoice expiry issue and got an error that their invoice is expired sometimes when paying through the cryptomus payment plugin. We took up the matter with the developers and they added the following line $data[‘lifetime’] = (string)(3600 * 12); This has resolved the issue, and now the client doesn’t get an expired invoice issue.
