Mistakes to avoid
1. Checkout Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution | |----------|-------|----------| | Cart empty | Session issue | Clear cookies, test in incognito | | Payment gateway error | API keys | Verify credentials in settings | | 404 on checkout | Permalink issue | Resave permalinks | | Can't complete order | JavaScript error | Check console, disable conflicts |
2. Performance Issues
- Disable unnecessary plugins
- Enable object caching (Redis/Memcached)
- Optimize database:
wp woocommerce/tools run install_db - Use lazy loading for product images
- Consider a dedicated cart page
3. Payment Gateway Issues
Stripe/PayPal errors:
1. Check API keys (test vs live)
2. Verify SSL certificate
3. Check webhook configuration
4. Review gateway logs
4. Database Issues
