A broken WooCommerce checkout is one of the worst things that can happen to an online store — and one of the easiest to miss. Your site looks fine, the admin dashboard shows nothing wrong, but customers are hitting errors at the payment step and quietly abandoning. You only find out days later when someone emails to complain, or when you notice a sudden drop in orders.
This guide covers how to set up automated monitoring for your WooCommerce checkout so you get an alert the moment something breaks — whether it's a failed payment gateway, a broken cart, a stalled cron job, or a plugin conflict that stops orders from being placed.
The goal: know about a broken checkout within minutes, not days.
We're writing the complete guide. In the meantime, see how we solved a similar problem with our Royal Mail tracking plugin — built from the same production codebase.
