Your store updated. Can customers still check out?

Add your checkout and cart pages as monitored pages. On every run, Sitewatch opens each one and verifies everything it depends on — the cart's scripts, the payment provider's code, theme styling and images. If the payment script is gone, the checkout falls into a redirect loop, or a required file is served as the wrong kind of file, you get an incident naming the exact page and file. No WooCommerce plugin required.

Yes, when the cause is a broken or missing file — which it usually is. WooCommerce updates the mini-cart through a script that a plugin conflict or caching layer can easily break. If that script is missing, times out, or comes back as the wrong kind of file, Sitewatch flags it on the next check even though the product page looks perfectly healthy. For a literal click-the-button-and-confirm-the-cart-updates test, pair it with transaction monitoring.

Sitewatch verifies the code that gateways inject into your pages — Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie and others. If an update moves the script and the old address is dead, or the provider's network times out, the payment form never renders and Sitewatch catches it. It does not log into your gateway dashboard or read declined transactions; it checks whether the gateway's front-end code actually loads on your checkout.

Sitewatch's core checks verify the pages you point it at, including cart and checkout, and everything those pages load — which catches the failures behind most "checkout will not convert" incidents. For a scripted multi-step flow (add to cart, fill the form, submit a test order, confirm the thank-you page), use transaction monitoring and form monitoring alongside it.

No. Sitewatch monitors from the outside. It opens your pages the way a browser does and verifies everything they load — no plugin, no server-side code, no impact on store performance. Setup is paste-your-URL-and-go, and because nothing runs inside WordPress, monitoring keeps working even when your store is struggling.

No, and we would rather be clear about it. Its checks verify everything a transaction needs — cart scripts, payment code, checkout page integrity — rather than submitting an order. Because most checkout failures come down to a missing file, that catches the bulk of revenue-killing breakage. For scripted test orders, add transaction monitoring.

Checks run every 30 minutes on Free, every 15 on Starter and every 5 on Pro. To catch breakage the moment it ships, connect a deploy hook so a full check runs as soon as you finish a WooCommerce, plugin or theme update — rather than hours later when sales dip. Every issue is confirmed with a retry before alerting, so a single transient blip never pages you.

Yes. It verifies the files any gateway injects — Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie and others. If the gateway's code fails to load, whether because it moved, timed out, or its network is having a bad day, Sitewatch catches it regardless of which gateway you use.

Yes. Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder and others generate a lot of their own scripts and styling, which Sitewatch verifies alongside everything else. Builders are especially prone to breakage after updates, and because Sitewatch checks everything the page actually loads, a builder file that has gone missing gets flagged.

Yes. When a caching, security or certificate plugin collides with an update and sends checkout in circles, an uptime tool follows the redirects and reports the store as up. Sitewatch detects the loop, raises an incident, and names the affected page — typically checkout, while the rest of the store works fine.

Caching is more often the cause of real failures than of false alerts — a page cache that captures the live cart or checkout serves stale or empty carts, which is genuine breakage worth catching. Every issue is confirmed with a retry, so a momentary CDN hiccup does not page you, while a persistent stale-file problem is surfaced with the exact address.

WordPress monitoring covers the general failures — plugin conflicts, theme breakage, cache problems, the white screen. This page focuses on the commerce path: cart, payment, checkout and the revenue they carry. Most stores want both, and a single Sitewatch site can check the storefront and the checkout together.

There is a free plan for 1 site, Starter at $9/month for up to 25 sites, and Pro at $19/month for up to 100 sites. Checkout-page checks, deploy hooks, and certificate and domain-expiry monitoring are included on every plan — the paid tiers add more sites and faster check intervals, which matters most for agencies running many client stores.
