Q: WooCommerce troubleshooting for 403 / 404 / 500/ 503 / 504 / 524 / thumbnail errors

一. 403 / 404 Errors

When you try to sync designs to your store but failed, the failure reason is shown below in the page “Store” -> “Synced designs”:

“HTTP request returned status code 403”

It occurs because your hosting provider prevents popcustoms.com from making requests to your store. To solve this problem, you should add our IP address 47.89.194.2 to the IP whitelist of Mod_Security or other security software. If you don’t know where to find the IP whitelist, please contact your hosting provider to ask for help.

for cloudflare users, you can follow the picture below.

Once IP added to whitelist, please click “Retry”. If the error still persists, please read on and contact us with the info mentioned below.

二. 500 / 503 / 504 / 524 Errors

If you sync designs to your WooCommerce store but fail, there comes up an error and state “There Has Been a Critical Error on Your Website” or other 5xx errors.

To solve this problem, please go to your WordPress Dashboard>WooCommerce>Status>System status>Get system report>Copy for support to copy the information and provide it to us.

And then go to WooCommerce>Status>Logs to view and find the latest fatal-errors-2023-xx-xx log, copy and provide it to us.

Contact us at service@popcustoms.com to provide the information mentioned above, our IT support team, POP & WooCommerce project team members will help solve these problems asap.

三. Class-wp-image-editor/ Fatal Error

When this type of error comes out, it means there’s an error in generating product thumbnails. Because of the execution time limit of your system, the product thumbnails can not be generated within the time limit. Under this condition, there are three solutions,

Solution 1: Disable some thumbnail sizes with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-generate-thumbnails/ it will help speed up the generation.

Solution 2: Extend the execution time limit of your system. Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-maximum-upload-file-size/ and it may help extend the time limit to 600 seconds.

Solution 3: Use Publish feature instead of Sync feature to sync products to your WooCommerce store so that you can just select 2-3 mockups to save the generation time.

四. “Out of Stock” & No Variations Error

This error happens because we provide too many mock-up pictures, WooCommerce can’t handle all of them. Under this condition, please follow the steps below to solve it.

① Head to the Dashboard -> Stores at POPCUSTOMS to find your connected WooCommerce store, click the Synced designs to find the product that failed to show correctly in your storefront, and delete it.

② Log into your WooCommerce to delete this product from your store as well, please go to the Trash to permanently delete it.

③ Go to POPCUSTOMS to publish this product to your WooCommerce store again, please don’t forget to delete some mock-ups in the final step so that the sync can be successful. Use the Publish button instead of Sync to stores button to sync products, and we don’t suggest you sync them in bulk.

To avoid this issue, please kindly always use our Publish button to sync products to your WooCommerce store. At the same time, we suggest you only choose 3 or fewer mock-ups in the final steps during publishing.

Thanks.

You can use our filter to filter and choose same product easily and quickly.

Or you can switch to the old version of the dashboard and click the Same product to see them.

Q: How do I set up a billing method for my store?

To ensure we can start working on your orders as soon as they come in, add a billing method so we can charge you for order fulfillment.

Please go to Dashboard -> Stores -> Settings to find the Billing method settings, choose Immediate automatic deduction, and add your credit or debit card.

Note: If you have balances in your POPCUSTOMS Wallet, we’ll deduct the order amount from your Wallet first. If it is not enough, we’ll then deduct the rest of the amount from the bound credit/debit card.

That’s all!

Q: What if the tracking shows delivered but my Etsy customers declare they don’t receive it?

Etsy has Seller Protection that covers unlimited lost packages each year. Under this condition, you can suggest your buyers file a complaint with Etsy. Etsy will help deal with it and respond with the tracking number to the buyer, showing you are not responsible and then actually refund the buyer and you keep your sales as well.

Please read the full details on the protection program.

Some requirements to qualify for the protection program,

1- The order must have been under $250 total, it must have been shipped and scanned in on time, and tracking details* must have been entered at the time the order was marked complete. You must also have your policies (returns, cancelations, etc) completely filled out. Additionally, your shop cannot be in violation of Etsy’s policies.

If the order totals $250 or more, you will need to rely on your own insurance to cover loss or damage.

2- Please take your buyer through the normal procedures for a missing package, such as a missing mail search. After the order appears truly lost, encourage your buyer to open a case for “item not received.” Let them know that this is something Etsy has in place so neither the buyer nor the seller has to be out of pocket for a lost package!

If your buyer wants a replacement instead of a refund, you still need to walk them through this procedure to get a refund from Etsy, then they can place a new order with your shop for the replacement.

Hope this makes sense. Any questions, please feel free to contact us to clarify.
