Woocommerce adds stuff to random carts Woothemes will not fix.

    I have been a woocommerce customer for almost two years. In the time I have been working with the product I feel that the service has deteriorated. They have plugins that they only partially support, or the plugin does not work the way its intended unless you add code. (for example sending text messages needs a specific format, but the plugins don’t enforce the customer adds the +1 or other area/region formatting.) The email on restock or waitlist plugin fails after sending 38 emails. I was told I needed a “high speed mail server” which was not included in the docs, so a popular product that has 100+ user waitlist will fail and I have to go in and send a bulk email out of outlook. I can go on all day but the worst part is that woocommerce has a way of adding random products to peoples carts.

    I am getting hostile emails telling me I am scam artist and other nasty language because when they checkout more is in the card than they paid for. I have tested this many times, they have a serious unaddressed issue. As the traffic spikes the woocommerce system add items to their carts. I have built a successful business online and I am stuck in the cart system that both WPengine (That woo team pushes with an affiliate link) and WooCommerce don’t want to fix. Each one blames the other. I am so sick of this. I have opened quite a few tickets and the blame game has to stop. I have an alexa traffic rank of 97,000 I have thousands of customers and tons of sales and now developing a reputation of being a scammer because of the frequency that woocommerce falls flat. I have lost 6 loyal customers. This is wrong and I will continue to ask woocommerce to fix their product. The real issue is Woocommerce works great on sites that have little traffic but you grow it will fall apart and even spending a few hundred on plugins will not get support to fix thier buggy plugin. I also rented a VPS from Liquid Web and without caching I can add stuff to my cart, walk over very quickly to my wifes PC and open the site and guess what the same stuff is in her PCs cart. WPegnine claims they have a template for WC enabled sites that stops caching but it does not work.

    Fix your product! If your issue is with WPEngine stop promoting them so aggressively.

    Sorry I have been away I am still very much interested but I have a physical store as well that needed my attention this week.

    Is this a problem because your using a cache plugin? What happens if you go back to the very basics and just run woocommerce without additional things on such a cache, do you still get the problems your experiencing.

    Shauny007 its hard for me to remember but I did extensive testing about six months ago and I remember it still happening on a liquid web VPS. But I am rusty on that. I mainly use WPengine and I don’t think I can fully disable the feature causing this in question.

    I am about to upgrade to Woocommerce 2.1 and I hope this all ends once and for all!

    WC 2.1 does seem to have removed the cookie thing that was earlier loading in every page.

    I will have to report in a few days as my theme does not seem fully compatible with WC2.1 I just tried it and it had some serious CSS bugs. I reverted.

    I will report on this thread with some time. I am usually not an early adopter I tend to wait at least 1+ week to 1 month. I will keep the thread updated when my theme is ready.

    I dont want to throw a parade just yet. But so far so good. It been a little longer than a week now.

    I really hope this issue is resolved; its probably the biggest issue I had with woocommerce and unfortunately the longest running.

    Fingers crossed!

    I believe this issue is resolved. I have not heard anything in over a month. Thanks

    I have a quick question that is not related but I can’t find the answer because the documentation on the Waitlist plugin is conflicting.

    One page mentions that the waitlist plugin is only for registered users. Another page makes no mention of this.

    Will the waitlist plugin work with guests or does it only work with registered users?

    I would ask this question in the Woocommerce user support forums but have found that most questions go unanswered.
