WooCommerce stopped sending emails and webhooks after a plugin update. How can I catch this?

Plugin updates frequently break WooCommerce background processes silently. Set up an API monitor to continually validate your webhook endpoints and critical pathways.

One of the biggest risks of managing a WooCommerce store is that a seemingly harmless plugin update can conflict with your payment gateways, webhooks, or email dispatchers. Your store looks fine to visitors, but post-purchase automations completely break behind the scenes.

Instead of waiting for customers to complain about missing order confirmations, set up Acumen Logs API Monitoring to run scheduled test payloads against your critical webhooks. You can also use Synthetic Monitoring to run automated test purchases on a staging environment before pushing plugin updates to production.
