What will prove the checkout repair works?

Agree which purchases are included

Name representative products, options, payment methods and delivery conditions. A failure affecting one combination can be missed by a test using a different product or address.

Ask how tests will stay controlled

Identify the payment-provider test method and any connected messages, stock changes or fulfillment actions. Confirm who can authorize those tests and how they will avoid real customers and live operational work.

WooCommerce’s testing-orders documentation provides platform guidance. The actual plan must also account for the store’s connected services.

Ask which results will be checked

• The message or screen the shopper sees.
• The intended store order and its state.
• The corresponding provider result where relevant.
• The expected stock and follow-up action.
• The behavior after an interruption, cancellation or retry.

Keep the scope and provider limits clear

Account restrictions and provider decisions may need action outside the website code. The proposal should name those dependencies rather than promise every failed payment can be fixed in the theme.

Expect a useful handoff

Ask for the changes, controlled test cases, results and remaining unverified steps. Read the checkout repair process or describe the failure.
