FAQ
Questions about the launch checklist
Is the launch checklist free?
Yes. It is a free one-page PDF and downloads straight away, with no email address needed.
When should I use it?
Work through it in the one to two weeks before launch, then on launch day, and again in the first week.
Do I need real orders to test?
Test every payment method in test mode first. On launch day, place one small real order on live keys and refund it, so you know the live set-up works.
What can Commerce Health check for me?
The Free plugin reads configuration on demand: WP-Cron and Action Scheduler, SSL, PHP version and memory, debug settings, search engine visibility and updates. It does not place orders or test payments.
