Descripció
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).
Captures
Simulator screen: add products, select coupons, choose a preset or manual shipping address, then run Simulate. 
Results – matched shipping zone, shipping methods, payment gateways, coupon discount, and cart totals.
Instal·lació
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/and activate. WooCommerce must be installed and active. - Go to WooCommerce > Checkout Simulator in the WordPress admin.

PMF
-
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.
