Simple retry logic repeats an action in an already inconsistent environment. Recovery flows restore system state to a known correct position before proceeding.
Most WooCommerce stores cannot reconstruct what actually happened during checkout failure. Observability is what transforms checkout from a collection of plugins into an operationally reliable system.
Most WooCommerce payment failures are not caused by stolen cards or fraud. They are caused by unreliable checkout execution.
Session expiry during payment is not a timing issue. It is a structural failure — one of the most silent ways WooCommerce loses revenue.
Gateway return inconsistency is not a payment issue. It is a distributed systems problem inside a monolithic architecture.
An unfinished order is not an edge case. It is a structural outcome of a system that allows partial completion without enforcing resolution.
Checkout fails at system boundaries where state is assumed to be consistent but is not. These failures are structural, not random.
Defines the reliability layer required to preserve checkout correctness across sessions, gateways, and asynchronous failures.
