Switch WooCommerce to High-Performance Order Storage safely: fix incompatible plugins, sync and verify orders, switch with sync on, and roll back if needed.
WooCommerce9 steps11 min read
The short answer
Fix or replace anything that is not HPOS-compatible first. Then turn on compatibility mode, let WooCommerce copy every order into its new tables, check the copy, and switch to High-performance order storage with sync still on. Keep sync on for about a week of real orders as your undo button, then turn it off.
What each WooCommerce checkout error means, where it comes from, and how to trace one that is not in WooCommerce at all, like a payment plugin nobody uses.
Move WordPress to a new host without losing rankings: the order that keeps every URL, the DNS step for zero downtime, and the checks before you cancel.
WooCommerce checkout not working? The 8 usual causes, from a Place order button that spins forever to no shipping methods, each with a one-minute test.
Why I stopped selling WordPress work by the hour: hourly billing charges for the learning curve and rewards the slow. What changed with one fixed price.
