Automatically clear WooCommerce product cache upon sale
On this page
Question
Staq Cache is not replacing the cached product page after a sale. Unfortunately, it’s not updating the quantity. How can I fix this?
Answer
As long as you have WooCommerce enabled in your plugins list of your site, you can go to Staq Hosting and scroll down towards the bottom and enable Clear WooCommerce products after order:
This will clear all products that make up an order rather than dumping the entire cache which is a more efficient way of managing your website’s cache.
