PayPal checkout can fail in WooCommerce due to misconfiguration, API credential issues, caching, or conflicts. Confirm the gateway is enabled and your PayPal Business account is connected, with correct country/currency. Reconnect the plugin and let it recreate webhooks; missing webhooks often break capture and order updates. Check SSL is valid and your site URL matches WordPress Address. Disable caching/minification for checkout pages and clear server/CDN cache. Test with a default theme and deactivate other payment/checkout plugins. Review WooCommerce logs for PayPal errors, and ensure your hosting firewall isn’t blocking PayPal requests. Update WooCommerce and the PayPal plugin, then retest again.

Self-hosted WordPress software is free, but you pay for infrastructure and add-ons. A typical small site costs a domain about $10–$20 per year and shared WordPress hosting around $3–$20 per month (intro deals can be lower, renewals higher). SSL is often free. Optional costs include a premium theme ($50–$100/year), paid plugins (anywhere from $0 to $200+ per year), backups, email, and maintenance help. For higher traffic, VPS or cloud hosting can run $20–$100+ per month. If you register extra domains, need more storage, or want a CDN, the budget rises. WooCommerce stores often buy extensions, shipping tools, and stronger caching.

WooCommerce itself usually does not add an extra fee just for using Stripe. The main cost is Stripe’s transaction fees (which vary by country and payment method). Stripe’s standard pricing is pay-as-you-go, and the pricing page shows a “get started” rate of 2.9% + 30¢ for card payments (commonly used for U.S. pricing).

To fix WooCommerce product image size issues, start by checking your image settings. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Display and review image dimensions. Next, go to Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Product Images and adjust thumbnail and main image settings. After changing sizes, regenerate thumbnails using a trusted plugin. Also, check your theme, as some themes override default image sizes. Clear your cache after updates. Upload images larger than required, so WooCommerce can resize properly. Consistent image dimensions help prevent stretching, blurring, or cropping issues.
