CHECKOUT211: Checkout empty response

What this means​

The store returned no checkout result, so the order status is unknown.

Check whether the order was created before trying checkout again.

Your data​

The outcome could not be confirmed — verify before retrying. If this persists, export diagnostics and contact WCPOS support.

Troubleshoot​

Check whether the order exists first — an empty response often means the order was created but the confirmation never arrived. On WCPOS Pro, sync the POS and look in the till's Orders list; otherwise have someone check WooCommerce → Orders in WP Admin. Only retry checkout once you have confirmed no order was created.

On the store — for the site administrator:

  1. Check WooCommerce → Status → Logs for a fatal error during checkout — a PHP crash after the order is created produces exactly this.
  2. If WooCommerce's log shows nothing, ask the hosting provider for the server's PHP error log — some fatal errors are captured only there.

For a developer: in the browser's developer tools — or the desktop app's Advanced → Toggle Developer Tools — the checkout request on the Network tab with a success status but an empty or truncated body points at a plugin or server buffer cutting the response short.
