WooCommerce checkout not working
Troubleshooting
WooCommerce support
Practical support for WordPress eCommerce
WooCommerce gives WordPress websites enormous flexibility, but that also means plenty of opportunities for plugins, payments, products and checkout functionality to become complicated.
We can help with product updates, layouts, payment gateways, checkout problems, shipping, performance, plugin issues and general WooCommerce maintenance.
We do not need to have built or hosted your website to help.
What we do
Keep the store working without making every issue a rebuild.
Checkout problems
Investigate broken or inconsistent checkout behaviour, validation errors and customer journey problems.
Payments
Help with common payment gateway setup and faults, including configuration and plugin conflicts.
Products & variations
Update products, categories, attributes, variations, imagery and content.
Shipping
Review standard shipping rules, methods and WooCommerce configuration.
Plugins & extensions
Investigate compatibility issues between WooCommerce, extensions, themes and other WordPress plugins.
Performance & hosting
Improve common performance bottlenecks and make sure the hosting environment is suitable for the store.
Before we make changes
Ecommerce needs a little extra care.
Before significant work we will normally confirm that backups are available, understand the payment and checkout setup and identify any custom code or specialist extensions that need to be treated carefully.

When the requirement gets more complex
We will tell you when it stops being a simple support job.
Advanced subscriptions, complex fulfilment, major integrations, bespoke checkout logic or substantial ecommerce redesign may need the wider Think Creative team. We would rather route that work properly than force it into a support package.
Why choose Upkeep?
Why use Upkeep?
Real human expertise
You will speak to real UK based people who understand WordPress. Never a chatbot or anonymous call centre. Your issue is reviewed by the technical team responsible for helping resolve it.
Plain-English answers
We will explain what has happened, why it matters and what we recommend doing next without hiding behind jargon.
Existing websites welcome
We do not need to have designed, built or hosted your website. We are happy to investigate inherited, ageing and imperfect WordPress setups. No sales, no pressure.
Repair before replacement
We will not recommend a rebuild when a sensible repair will do. Where continued repair is no longer safe or economical, we will explain the alternatives honestly.
