Window.opener not working with stripe connect popup

Question

I have stripe connect integrated on my project, stripe verification window opens in popup and when it is closed parent window reloaded.

I was working fine few days ago but now its giving me window.opener is null error following is my code

window.opener.location.reload();

Not yet, Its happening only in case of stripe, I am using 7 different popups and they all are working fine except stripe. — Vikram, Sep 11 '15 at 12:24
Yeah, worked for us a few weeks ago, looks like Stripe did something that detaches the popup from its opener... — Korri, Sep 11 '15 at 14:36

Contacted stripe support, and it does seem to come from some security measure they took, here is a part of the answer I got:

[...] Unfortunately, we don't have a work around for this yet as this change was put in place to prevent a security vulnerability a few months back. [...]

So for now we went to the whole redirect method.

You are calling this statement after the popup is closed. So window.opener is giving the null pointer error. self.opener.location.reload(); window.close(); or self.close(); Like this reload parent window then close the child window
