THE BUYING FLOW CAN STILL BE BROKEN.
Website Down Watch can look beyond HTTP 200 and run an eleven-check WooCommerce Health diagnostic inside WordPress. It verifies WooCommerce core, database state, products, an isolated cart, customer-facing add-to-cart validation, checkout initialization, payment configuration, shipping configuration, recent order flow, transactional email and background processing — without creating an order, payment or email.

THE STOREFRONT CAN RETURN 200 OK.
ADD TO CART OR CHECKOUT CAN STILL FAIL.
A successful public request proves that a page answered. It does not prove that WooCommerce will accept a product into a cart, initialize checkout, have usable payment/shipping configuration, show a healthy recent order flow, keep transactional email configured or process background work. WooCommerce Health keeps those signals separate.

The functional probe can be healthy while uptime is healthy — or report a store problem without pretending the entire website is down.
HOW THE FUNCTIONAL PROBE WORKSRUN THE BUYING-FLOW ENGINE.
RUN THE BUYING-FLOW ENGINE.
LEAVE THE CUSTOMER AND ORDER SYSTEM ALONE.
The probe executes inside the WordPress installation. It builds an isolated temporary WooCommerce context, uses WooCommerce’s own customer-facing validation and cart engine, then checks checkout readiness before discarding the temporary state. Read-only operational checks then inspect payment, shipping, recent order flow, store email and WooCommerce background work without invoking payment processing, calculating carrier rates or sending email.
Advanced reuses the existing protected health request; manual checks use the same local engine.
No real customer cart, cookie or persistent session is used for the probe.
Customer-facing validation runs and WooCommerce itself must accept the product into the isolated cart.
The checker records a compact result and timestamp without submitting checkout or creating an order.

FUNCTIONAL STORE HEALTH.
Each subcheck answers a specific question. A failure points to the part of the WooCommerce stack that needs attention instead of collapsing everything into one vague availability result.
WooCommerce core
HEALTHYConfirms WooCommerce is active and loaded in the WordPress runtime.
Database
HEALTHYChecks whether WooCommerce reports a pending database update.
Products
HEALTHYFinds a published purchasable product suitable for the isolated purchase-flow probe.
Cart
HEALTHYInitializes the WooCommerce cart engine and verifies the configured Cart page.
Add to cart
HEALTHYRuns customer-facing validation and requires WooCommerce to accept the product into the isolated cart.
Checkout
HEALTHYInitializes checkout fields and cart-to-checkout state without creating an order or payment.
Payments
HEALTHYIf the isolated cart requires payment, verifies that at least one WooCommerce payment gateway is enabled. No payment transaction or processor request is attempted.
Shipping
HEALTHYWhen an active physical product proves shipping is required, checks for an enabled WooCommerce shipping method without calculating a carrier rate.
Order flow
HEALTHYLooks for a sustained recent failed-order spike or a material group of stale Pending payment orders through WooCommerce’s order API.
Store email
HEALTHYChecks New Order email enablement, recipients and the WooCommerce sender address without sending a test email.
Background scheduler
HEALTHYLooks for sustained WooCommerce Action Scheduler failure patterns or materially overdue work.
FUNCTIONAL RESULT11 / 11 checks passed
Cart, add to cart and checkout exercise the WooCommerce engine; payment, shipping, order-flow and email checks are read-only operational checks. The complete diagnostic remains deliberately non-transactional.
FUNCTIONAL, NOT TRANSACTIONALUSE THE REAL WOOCOMMERCE ENGINE.
USE THE REAL WOOCOMMERCE ENGINE.
STOP BEFORE A REAL ORDER EXISTS.
The useful boundary combines a real isolated buying-flow probe with read-only operational diagnostics. Product, cart, add to cart and checkout exercise WooCommerce directly; payment, shipping, order-flow and store-email configuration are inspected without checkout submission, payment processing, carrier-rate calculation, email delivery or customer side effects.

This is why the check can catch genuine store-function failures without becoming a synthetic purchase bot. It exercises important WooCommerce runtime paths while keeping transactional state out of the monitor.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE BY DESIGNTEST THE STORE FLOW.
TEST THE STORE FLOW.
DON’T TOUCH A CUSTOMER OR CREATE A SALE.
The functional probe is isolated from real customer state. It does not need a customer password and it stops before order creation or payment. Payment processors are not contacted, carrier rates are not calculated and the store-email check does not send mail. Only the compact WooCommerce Health result and timing information need to travel with monitoring.
THE PROBE DOES NOT
- Change a real customer cart or session
- Create a WooCommerce order
- Attempt a payment or contact a payment processor
- Calculate a carrier shipping rate
- Send a checkout or test email
- Submit a customer checkout

IT IS NOT A SYNTHETIC PURCHASE.
Across all eleven checks, Site Watch verifies WooCommerce core and database state, finds a safe product, adds it to an isolated cart, initializes checkout, and reads payment, shipping, recent order-flow, store-email and background-job state. It deliberately does not submit checkout, create an order, process a payment, contact a payment processor, calculate carrier rates, change a real customer cart/session or send email. WooCommerce My Account and other protected-page access/content checks remain available separately through the local Monitoring test user; Plus and Advanced can automate included protected pages.

CHOOSE HOW CLOSELY
YOUR WORDPRESS SITE IS WATCHED.
Free includes the full local diagnostic toolkit. Basic, Plus and Advanced automate public and WordPress-aware checks, while Plus adds automatic public/protected content monitoring and Advanced adds scheduled WooCommerce Health. Every plan still includes the manual eleven-check WooCommerce Health diagnostic when WooCommerce is active. Current GBP pricing and any active first-year discount are loaded from the public pricing service; checkout opens in the Freemius overlay without leaving this page.
Scheduled WordPress-local monitoring: for the most reliable timing, use a real 1-minute server cron. It wakes the scheduler only; Signed-in Page Check and Critical Content still start at 5 minutes, and WooCommerce Health remains 5 / 15 / 60 minutes on Advanced. Read the cron setup guide →
