Online shop trouble? I fix checkout, not the brochure.
When a shop breaks, it's lost sales in the cart, not an inconvenience. And a shop nobody can find on Google doesn't sell either. I fix checkout errors, payment failures, missing order emails, and slow product pages — and I can watch the shop month to month so the next WooCommerce update doesn't take Friday's orders with it.
Shop problems I actually get called for
Checkout errors
Customers reach pay and can't finish. Coupon, shipping zone, or a gateway script dying on the thank-you page.
Stripe or PayPal misbehaving
Valid cards declined, orders stuck on pending, double charges. Irish VAT and 3-D Secure make this noisier than a US tutorial assumes.
Order emails not arriving
You or the customer get nothing. That's wp_mail, SPF on the .ie, or a conflict with the invoice plugin — not "the customer typed it wrong".
Slow product and category pages
Variations, galleries, and layered nav. A brochure cache plugin often makes shops worse; shops need a different pass than a five-page site.
Stock, shipping, tax
Counts drifting, rates missing for Northern Ireland or EU, VAT displaying wrong at checkout.
Broke after a WooCommerce update
WooCommerce and its extensions update often. One incompatible pairing takes the till down. I fix that pairing; I don't "start a new Shopify".
Done means a test order, not a theory
Backup first. I work on a staging copy where the host allows it. When the fix is in:
- Add a product to the cart.
- Pay with a real test card on Stripe/PayPal in test mode (or a €0.50 live refund if that's the only way to prove it).
- Confirm the order exists, stock moved, and both you and the "customer" got the email.
If I can't complete that loop, it isn't fixed.
The €49/month plan covers shops too: careful updates, backups, and monitoring, so checkout breaks get caught before your customers do. You don't need it to buy a one-off fix.
We had our WooCommerce store cleaned up, sped up, and properly optimised. They identified conversion blockers we hadn't even noticed. Sales have improved and the site just feels right now.
Shop questions
Can you fix WooCommerce without taking the shop offline?
Yes. Copy where possible; live changes in your quiet hours. I don't call it done until a test order completes.
Do you work on Stripe and PayPal checkouts in Ireland?
Yes. Failed cards, pending orders, missing mail, tax and shipping for IE/EU. I don't swap your gateway unless that's actually the fault.
What does a WooCommerce fix cost?
Most single problems are €250. Bigger catalogue or speed jobs get a fixed quote first.
We're on Shopify. Can you still help?
If you want to move to WooCommerce — or off it — that's a migration. For a quick "which platform suits this shop", just ask.
