# Session Log: ezfastautoglass Broken Checkout Diagnosis
|
||||
|
||||
## User
|
||||
- **User:** Mike Swanson (mike)
|
||||
- **Machine:** Mikes-MacBook-Air
|
||||
- **Role:** admin
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Diagnosed zero sales issue for ezfastautoglass client. Client reported WordPress customizer white screen and zero sales since February domain migration from acepickupparts.com to ezfastautoglass.com. Initial assumption was SEO/visibility problem from domain change.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed WordPress customizer white screen by clearing WP Rocket cache on IX server (172.16.3.10). Verified site technical SEO was correct - not blocking search engines, sitemap working, verification tags present.
|
||||
|
||||
Analyzed Apache access logs and discovered critical finding: Google Ads ARE working and pointing to correct domain. Found 2,904 Google Ads clicks in June (Campaign ID 23927845374), 1,722 cart/checkout page views, but ZERO completed orders (no /order-received/ pages). This proved 0% conversion rate at payment step, not a traffic problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Identified broken payment gateway as root cause. WooCommerce database showed PayPal Payments plugin enabled but likely not fully configured/connected. Client set up payment gateway himself (WooPay/PayPal) and declined paid assistance previously.
|
||||
|
||||
Created Microsoft 365 draft email with balanced professional tone - provided diagnostic data and troubleshooting steps, made clear this is his payment gateway setup to fix, offered paid assistance if needed. Draft emphasizes the payment issue is blocking all sales while ads are successfully driving traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- Investigated server logs instead of assuming SEO issue from domain migration
|
||||
- Searched access logs for gclid/fbclid parameters to verify ad traffic and campaign targeting
|
||||
- Analyzed checkout funnel by counting cart/checkout pages versus order confirmation pages
|
||||
- Set professional boundary in email tone - helpful diagnosis but clear this is client's payment gateway to troubleshoot, with option for paid help
|
||||
- Used Microsoft 365 Graph API directly to create draft instead of sending immediately, giving time to review before client contact
|
||||
|
||||
## Problems Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
- Initial PyJWT/cryptography packages not installed for certificate-based Microsoft Graph authentication - resolved by installing with --break-system-packages flag
|
||||
- First email draft tone was too helpful and implied free troubleshooting work - updated after learning client set up payment gateway himself and declined paid assistance previously
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Changes
|
||||

## Pending / Incomplete Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Client action required:**
|
||||
- Jon needs to test his own checkout to see the payment error
|
||||
- Jon needs to verify PayPal Payments connection in WooCommerce > Settings > Payments
|
||||
- Jon needs to reconnect PayPal business account if disconnected
|
||||
- Jon needs to check for common issues: PayPal sandbox mode, expired API credentials, account verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Follow-up:**
|
||||
- After Jon tests checkout, may need to provide paid assistance quote if he requests help
|
||||
- Secondary SEO tasks (Google Search Console, sitemap submission, business listings) are deferred until payment gateway is fixed

||||
