WooCommerce migrations affect more than product templates. A destination theme can change gallery behavior, variation controls, notices, fragments, account navigation, checkout markup, and conversion tracking.
Recommended rollout order
- Preview representative simple, variable, grouped, and out-of-stock products.
- Validate product category, tag, search, pagination, and filtered archive views.
- Test cart behavior and notices with real product combinations.
- Test checkout in a non-production payment mode or controlled test environment.
- Validate account, order, subscription, membership, and extension-specific endpoints.
- Assign broader routes only after business owners approve the evidence.
Test the complete purchase path
- Product galleries, variations, stock state, quantity, and add-to-cart.
- Coupons, taxes, shipping methods, address validation, and payment methods.
- Cart fragments, mini cart, notices, and asynchronous updates.
- Order confirmation, transactional analytics, and consent tracking.
- Logged-in and guest checkout on mobile and desktop.
ThemeRouter changes the theme selected for a request; it does not guarantee compatibility between a theme and every WooCommerce extension. Validate the exact extension stack before assigning customer-facing routes.
