Fixing “Invalid Product” Errors from Upsell Plugin Conflicts in WooCommerce

Issue Overview

A WooCommerce store saw sitewide cart failures after a plugin update. Users couldn’t add any product to their cart—each attempt triggered an “Invalid product” error. This occurred despite no changes to product settings.

What We Found

JavaScript conflicts

DevTools showed errors tied to modal popups triggered by the “Add to Cart” button.

Plugin interference

The issue traced back to two plugins:

  • WooCommerce Upsell Popup
  • WooCommerce Upsell Popup PRO
Staging validation

Disabling these plugins restored normal cart behavior instantly.

How We Fixed It

✅ Disabled upsell plugins

Both upsell extensions were turned off to restore cart functionality across the site.

✅ Communication

Clients were informed that upsell features were temporarily disabled to allow seamless purchases.

✅ Isolated the root cause

The plugin tried loading a removed upsell product, blocking the entire cart flow.

✅ Planned next steps

Options included updating or replacing the plugin—or adjusting settings to avoid similar future conflicts.

Result

Cart and checkout functionality was fully restored within hours. Sales resumed, and a safe path was created for upsell reactivation or alternative solutions.
