Can it prove customers can pay?
No. Local checks do not submit checkout or charge a gateway. Use the results to narrow an investigation, then complete a controlled end-to-end test where appropriate.
Clear scope
Diagnostics—not a live payment monitor.
Local diagnostics do not prove that a real customer can complete payment. The plugin does not post checkout, call a gateway, create orders, change stock, or trigger fulfilment. Use its findings to narrow an investigation, then complete a controlled end-to-end checkout test where appropriate.
