We just downsized and replaced WooCommerce with a single button using this plugin. It is all set up with Stripe and I have seen it work but now it has developed a glitch where it says the item has been added to the cart but there is no button to go to checkout and the cart doesn’t appear. This is on the live public page so we’d really like to get it sorted out soon! What do I need to do? Thanks The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] Thank you for reaching out to us.

What shortcodes are you currently using? Make sure you also have the following shortcode added to the page in question.

Or does your host run any type of caching system in your server? Regards. The host does not have a caching system. The cache has been cleared and the two plugins related to caching have been deactivated. This made no difference. At this point the problem is no longer intermittent. I get a green message stating that the item has been added to the cart but haven’t seen the checkout button or cart in quite awhile. I looked at the logs and they document the successful tests of sandbox cards but nothing since then. I don’t have any idea what changed to trigger this. This is now officially broken. Please help! I just switched it to the shortcode with “always show” and the button and cart now both show. While this now makes it usable it’s not the solution we want. If you can help it to get back to working properly it would be much appreciated. Thanks Thank you for providing more information. Unfortunately I am not sure how you have set up the shopping cart. I have carried out a test in my dev site and it works for me. Please check the following documentation.

Having the cart always there isn’t as intrusive as we had thought it would be so if there is no easy solution it can stay.

This is a mini shopping cart, which is less intrusive. https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/simple-cart-showing-a-compact-shopping-cart-2925 Kind regards.
