What's going wrong

Site owners report that installing updates to this WooCommerce compatibility plugin, in versions 1.0.2 through 1.0.4, caused fatal critical errors that took live stores offline. Some could not log in to the admin area, even in recovery mode, and had to call their host or roll back WooCommerce and the plugin to get back online. Owners running several client sites said one update crashed many of them at once. The reports point to missing pre-release testing and no safe rollback path. A product that tests updates on a copy of the store before they go live, and restores the old version when a fatal error appears, would fix this for store owners.
