Add to cart that does nothing
A button that no longer adds the product after a theme or plugin update, or a product page without a price.
Free WooCommerce checkout checker
Is your WooCommerce checkout working? Check it free.
Type your store’s address. A real browser opens your WooCommerce store, adds a product to the cart and goes through checkout up to the payment step, like a customer. In a few minutes you see each step with a screenshot, and the step where a purchase would stop. No plugin, no login, no order placed.

What it catches on a WooCommerce store
A cart that is wrong or empty
The product missing from the cart, or arriving with a different price.
A checkout that does not load
The block checkout or the classic [woocommerce_checkout] page failing to render, or stuck loading.
No shipping methods
An address is filled in and no shipping method appears, so the customer cannot continue.
No payment methods
The payment section empty or broken, so there is nothing to pay with.
Something in the way
A pop-up covering the checkout, a CAPTCHA, or a security plugin blocking the request.
Questions
Does the checker place an order?
No. It stops at the payment step, so no order is created and nothing is charged. Your stock and your order emails are not touched.
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. The checker reads your public store pages like a visitor. For health checks from inside WordPress, there is a free MageSentinel plugin on WordPress.org, but the checker does not need it.
Does it work with the block checkout?
Yes. It works with the WooCommerce block checkout and with the classic shortcode checkout.
How long does it take?
Usually one to three minutes. You can watch each step as it runs, and we email you the result if you leave your address.
What do I get if it fails?
The step where the purchase stopped and screenshots of what the browser saw on the way, so you know where to start looking.
Can it run every hour?
The free checker runs once per store per day. MageSentinel runs the same walk on a schedule, around the clock, and emails or messages you on Slack when checkout breaks. 14 days free, no card.
