WooCommerce stock out of sync: why are product quantities wrong?
Order issues in WooCommerce usually affect stock updates, duplicate charges, stuck statuses, or missing order transitions after payment. Merchants should check the order timeline and notes before assuming checkout itself is broken.
Order behavior often breaks because the payment callback did not finish, the gateway posted duplicate events, or another extension changed status handling. Stock, analytics, and order states can all look wrong because they depend on the same underlying order events.
Review the official order troubleshooting guidance, then inspect the affected order notes and status history. If the order flow still does not explain the symptom, gather logs so you can see whether the issue came from the gateway, webhook, or another plugin.
