Your WooCommerce checkout, tested automatically, around the clock.
A WooCommerce, plugin, or WordPress core update can break the buyer journey without a single error on your end. PathHog runs the entire checkout — product, cart, shipping, tax, payment, receipt — in a real browser as often as every 15 minutes and within minutes of each update. Zero real orders. Zero drained stock. Zero customer emails.
HTTP 200 on your homepage doesn't mean customers can pay.
Your critical path — the exact steps a customer takes to give you money — is the one thing you can't let break. PathHog runs all of it in a real browser, completes the order through an invisible mock gateway, then atomically erases it.
Connect once. PathHog test-buys from your store on autopilot.
Install the WooCommerce connector
Add our lightweight plugin (HPOS + Checkout Blocks ready). It registers an invisible mock payment gateway that only our cryptographically-signed runner can see — never a real shopper.
We buy from your store for real
Every hour — and within minutes of any plugin, theme, or WordPress core update — a real Chromium browser runs the full path: product, cart, shipping, tax, checkout, payment, receipt.
You get proof, or an instant alert
Pass or fail with step screenshots, JavaScript errors, and the exact plugin that broke it. Then the test order is atomically erased and stock restored — zero real orders, zero emails.
Why a 200 OK isn't proof your checkout works
Here's what each kind of tool actually does at checkout.
Uptime monitors
Check your homepage returns a 200. They never touch the cart or checkout — so a dead Place Order button looks perfectly healthy.

Real tests, but they create live orders, drain stock and fire emails — or you spend weeks mocking payments. And nobody re-runs them after every plugin update.
PathHog
Runs the full path through an invisible mock gateway, verifies the receipt, then atomically erases the order — automatically, after every WordPress and WooCommerce update.
A cloud runner plus a lightweight store connector
Completes the order — then erases it
A real order runs through an invisible mock gateway that only exists for cryptographically-signed PathHog requests. The moment the receipt is verified, the test order is atomically purged and stock restored. Zero real charges, zero stock drift, zero emails.
Catches silent errors that still 'pass'
Checkout can complete while a tracking-pixel update throws an Uncaught TypeError that breaks mobile autocomplete. PathHog records every runtime exception, console error, and failed request on every run — not just the final HTTP status.
Re-checks after every update, names the culprit
It runs on a schedule and the moment WordPress finishes updating any plugin, theme, or core package. When a run breaks, the alert names the exact component and version that changed right before it.
One prevented checkout outage pays for a year of PathHog.
