WooCommerce half-broken? I'll fix it.
Cart emptying for no reason, checkout not completing, missing products, silent payment gateways. I fix WooCommerce bugs without starting from scratch. Staging tests before touching the live site, and I explain exactly what went wrong.
- !Checkout stuck: orders fail silently with no error message
- !Cart empties after page change or after login
- !Products not showing in the catalog despite being published
- !Category, price or attribute filters returning 0 results
- !Payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe) not processing payments
- !Transactional emails not being sent after an order
- 01Conflict between WooCommerce plugins and theme (outdated template overrides)
- 02Aggressive caching on cart/checkout/my-account pages
- 03Payment gateway webhooks blocked by firewalls or security plugins
- 04Corrupted product taxonomy after CSV import or migration
- 05Expired or badly configured PHP sessions on the server
- 06Custom snippets in functions.php breaking the woocommerce_before_cart hook
A repeatable procedure, not guesswork.
- 01
Reproduce the bug
Describe the problem with a screenshot or video. I reproduce the behaviour with a dummy customer account to see the exact error.
- 02
Diagnose
I enable WP_DEBUG, check WooCommerce logs, inspect browser console errors and server logs.
- 03
Staging test
I clone the site to a subfolder. I switch off the current theme to isolate. I test one plugin at a time. Without ever touching the live site.
- 04
Fix and verify
Root cause fix: update the template override, disable caching on the broken page, correct the webhook or rewrite the snippet. I test the full purchase flow again.
- 05
Report and prevention
I explain the cause in plain English. I leave you a clean debug log and notes on what not to touch, so you know exactly what was done.
How much can it cost?
Indicative range. Final estimate after seeing the site.
One isolated issue: cart, checkout or missing product. Targeted diagnosis and fix.
Several related symptoms (cart + emails + filter). Cross-analysis of theme and plugins.
Theme overrides to rewrite, custom filters, shipping API integration.
The questions I always get.
01Can you fix my checkout that won't complete orders?
+
Yes, it's one of the most common issues. Payment plugins conflicting, gateway webhooks not responding, wrong redirects after PayPal/Stripe. I start from the order logs and a live test purchase to pinpoint exactly where the block happens.
02Product filters or search stopped working after the last update
+
WooCommerce filters often break from conflicts between the theme, a plugin like FiboSearch or YITH, and a core update. I check the stack, find the culprit and fix everything without losing your settings.
03How do I know if the problem is my theme?
+
I use a three-step process: (1) temporarily switch to the Storefront theme to isolate, (2) disable plugins one by one starting from WooCommerce overrides, (3) enable debug log to see the exact PHP errors. I tell you exactly what causes the issue.
04Can you add a custom shipping method?
+
Of course. Whether it's for a courier, local pickup, variable cost based on postcode or weight, it can be integrated. I do custom dev or configure existing plugins like Table Rate Shipping, and test in staging before going live.
