About Checkout Simulator for WooCommerce
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
Checkout Simulator for WooCommerce helps store owners and developers preview how checkout behaves before a customer pays. Build a test cart, apply coupons, pick a shipping address, and see which shipping zone matches, available shipping methods and rates, payment methods, and cart totals – plus context when rules interact (for example, a coupon changing free-shipping eligibility).
Perfect when you want to:
- Debug shipping zones and location rules without guessing from the storefront
- Validate shipping methods and rates for a given address
- Check coupon + shipping interactions on a realistic cart
- See payment methods that would appear for the simulated checkout context
- Explain “why” something matched (zone match reasoning) to support clients
How it works
- Add products (search + quantity) and optional coupon codes
- Choose a preset test address or enter country, state, and postcode manually
- Click Simulate to run WooCommerce’s logic
Configuration
- Products: Use the product search to add one or more products and set quantities. Leave empty to only look up the shipping zone and methods for the address (no cart totals).
- Coupon codes: Enter comma-separated codes; they are applied during simulation when products are present.
- Shipping address: Select a preset (e.g. US – California) or choose “Enter manually” and fill Country, State/County, and Postcode.
- Access: Only users with the
manage_woocommercecapability can open the Checkout Simulator (typically Administrators and Shop Managers).
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/and activate. WooCommerce must be installed and active. - Go to WooCommerce > Checkout Simulator in the WordPress admin.
- Optionally add products (search and add with quantity), enter coupon codes, and choose or enter a shipping address. Click Simulate to see the matched zone, shipping options, and totals.
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin send data to external servers?
No. All simulation runs locally using WooCommerce. No third-party services are used; no data is sent outside your site.
Why do I see “Simulation requires a session”?
WooCommerce needs an active session to calculate shipping. Visit your store front (e.g. the cart or shop page) once while logged in, then try the simulator again.
What if WooCommerce or PHP is too old?
The plugin shows an admin notice and does not load if WooCommerce is below 8.0 or PHP is below 8.0. Upgrade WooCommerce and/or your server PHP version to use the plugin.
Changelog
1.0.0
