Description
AlphaDevs Stripe Checkout Diagnostics helps WooCommerce merchants and developers identify common WooCommerce Stripe checkout configuration issues before they turn into support incidents or failed conversions.
The plugin runs read-only diagnostics against your WooCommerce and Stripe setup, then shows findings with evidence and suggested fixes.
Current diagnostic coverage
- Stripe gateway enabled but active API keys missing
- Stripe webhook signing secret missing for the active mode
- Stripe gateway disabled while UPE or Express Checkout settings remain configured
- Link configured but not active on checkout
- Stripe assets missing from checkout when Stripe should be active
- Express Checkout configured for storefront locations without matching frontend signals
- Local webhook self-test route reachability
- Domain and HTTPS mismatch detection
- Local development environment downgrade for non-production domain warnings
What the plugin does
- Collects WooCommerce, Stripe, and site configuration signals
- Probes cart, checkout, and one published product page
- Runs a local webhook self-test using a temporary token
- Stores the latest scan plus lightweight recent scan history
- Displays findings with severity, confidence, evidence, and suggested fixes
What the plugin does not do
- It does not place test orders or process real card charges
- It does not automatically modify your Stripe or WooCommerce settings
- It does not send your scan results to a third-party service
Privacy and remote requests
This plugin performs read-only HTTP requests back to the same WordPress site in order to:
- Probe cart, checkout, and product pages
- Run a local REST-based webhook self-test
The plugin does not send diagnostics or store data to an external service.
Note: Stripe-related pages on your storefront may themselves load Stripe-hosted JavaScript such as js.stripe.com when your checkout configuration enables those features. This is part of your store’s Stripe integration, not telemetry added by this plugin.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin change my Stripe settings automatically?
-
No. All scans are read-only.
-
Why do I see a domain or HTTPS warning on localhost?
-
Local development environments such as
localhost,127.0.0.1,.local, and.testare downgraded to lower-severity informational findings where appropriate. This warning is still useful because wallet flows like Apple Pay and Google Pay require production-like HTTPS environments. -
Does webhook self-test simulate a real Stripe event?
-
Not yet. The current version validates that your application can receive and process a local callback round-trip. It is useful for catching route and environment issues, but it is not a full Stripe event signature simulation.
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce Stripe Gateway?
-
The plugin is most useful when WooCommerce Stripe Gateway is installed, but it can still report some site and WooCommerce-level findings without it.
