Check the path from product page to purchase.

Choose a few products, including one with variants or low stock, and compare the live page with the details in your shop admin.

• Confirm the product name, photos, price, selected size or colour, and sale terms are current.
• Check that availability changes correctly when a variant is sold out or stock is limited; do not rely on a label alone if the quantity is wrong in your admin.
• Open the delivery, returns and product-detail links. Check that the information is easy to find and agrees with the offer on the page.
• Use search, category pages and any recent campaign links to reach the product. Confirm each route opens the intended item.

Start from the page a shopper would use, not only from a saved admin preview.

• Select each relevant option, then use the add-to-cart button. Make sure the right item and variant appear in the cart.
• Check product, cart and checkout links from your menu, search results, product recommendations and email or social campaigns.
• Look for old redirects, missing pages, an empty cart, or a button that appears to work but leaves the page unchanged.

A desktop layout can hide a mobile problem. Use a real phone when possible and complete the same route there.

• Check that product options, price, stock, delivery details and the add-to-cart control remain visible and usable without awkward zooming.
• Tap links and controls with your thumb. Watch for menus or consent banners covering the next step, cramped fields, and buttons too close together.
• Notice slow or incomplete loads on mobile data as well as Wi-Fi. Retry once and record whether the delay happens on the product page, cart or checkout.

Test from product selection through the order confirmation page. Use your platform’s test-payment mode where available; do not place a live order unless you intend to buy it.

• Check when delivery charges, taxes and other costs become clear. Unexpected costs shown late can make shoppers reconsider.
• See whether guest checkout is available and whether every requested form field is needed. Forced account creation and lengthy forms can add friction.
• Confirm the payment options shown match the methods you have enabled. A buyer may leave if their preferred option is missing.
• Wait for each step to finish. Slow pages, unclear errors or repeated loading can interrupt a purchase; note the exact step and time.
• When using test mode, verify the confirmation, order record and any expected customer email or stock update. Stop before payment if the route would charge a real card.

A precise report helps you or your provider reproduce the issue without guessing.

• Write down the date and time with time zone, device and browser, page URL, steps taken, expected result and what actually appeared.
• Keep a screenshot or screen recording if it helps. Remove customer details and never include passwords or payment-card data.
• Retry once and check whether the issue affects another product or device. If it remains, contact the provider responsible for that step: shop platform or theme, hosting, or payment service.
• Include the evidence and any recent change that may be relevant. Record the provider’s response and final resolution in your own issue log. Latchkite’s incident-history screen can show saved check records when available.
