Running an online store on WordPress.
WooCommerce
A configurator is a rule-driven option tree, not a very large variable product. The moment your options multiply rather than add, variations stop being the answer.
WooCommerce
Add-ons are cart item metadata with a price adjustment attached, not products. Once you understand that, the failures at checkout stop being mysterious and start being predictable.
WooCommerce
Most "bundle" requirements are a pack-size variation or a grouped product, and cost nothing. Only a genuine set price across separate items justifies a bundling extension.
WooCommerce
Variations need three things in order: global or local attributes, the attributes marked for variations, and each variation given its own price. Miss one and the product is unbuyable.
WooCommerce
Missing products usually come down to stock and visibility settings, a shop page that is not assigned, or a theme template that never runs the query. Check the data before the code.
WooCommerce
One shortcode covers nearly every product listing: pick attributes for category, count, columns and ordering. Blocks do the same visually, and both have their place.
WooCommerce
Export a sample first and use its column headers. Most failed imports are a malformed file, not a broken importer — and variations need their parent rows to exist first.
WooCommerce
Check whether the specific notification is enabled, whether the order status actually triggers it, and whether the site can send mail at all — three separate failures with one symptom.
WooCommerce
A rejected coupon is usually doing exactly what it was configured to do. Read the error message, then check expiry, minimum spend, product restrictions and usage limits in that order.
WooCommerce
Fix checkout spinning, reloading or rejecting orders by identifying whether validation, JavaScript, payment webhooks, sessions, caching or a plugin conflict failed.
WooCommerce
Configure WooCommerce shipping zones in the correct order, add flat rate, free shipping or local pickup, and use classes for product-specific costs.
WooCommerce
Install WooCommerce, work through the setup checklist, configure products, payments, tax and shipping, and test a complete order before launch.
