Having Trouble Ordering? Let's Fix It Together đ
If youâre trying to check out but somethingâs just not workingâitems wonât add to your cart, checkout times out, or anything elseâbefore you stress, let's try a couple of quick fixes.
1. Restart & Close Tabs First!
Try this before anything else:
- Close any unnecessary tabs (yes, even the ones youâve been keeping open âjust in caseâ đ)
- Restart your device
Sometimes, this simple step is all it takes to get things working again!
2. Try Incognito Mode đ”ïž
If closing tabs doesnât work, the next thing to try is Incognito Mode (Private Browsing). If your cart works in Incognito, itâs likely your browserâs cache causing the issue.
Whatâs a Cache & Why Should You Care?
Think of your browserâs cache like that one drawer in your house filled with random stuff you âmight need somedayâ (old receipts, expired coupons, a flat battery). Over time, all that digital clutter can cause websites to glitch because your browser is showing you outdated information. Clearing your cache gives your browser a fresh start and helps pages load correctly.
Are You a Tab Hoarder? Your Browser Might Be on Life Support
Listen, I know how we ladies like to use the internet. Youâve got 97 tabs open: your online cart, 55 other online carts you are hoping to checkout one day, a deep dive on âbest anti-aging serums,â a half-read article on manifesting abundance, and that DIY project youâll totally start one day. But hereâs the problemâtoo many open tabs suck up memory and can cause weird issues, like:
- Items refusing to add to your cart (your browser is too overloaded to keep up)
- Endless spinning wheels or checkout timeouts (because your device is struggling to process everything)
- Stuck or failed payments.
4. Save Your Cart Before Clearing the Cache
We know youâve probably spent a lot of time curating your cart (itâs an art form, after all!). Take a screenshot of your cart before clearing your cache so you can easily recreate it afterward without forgetting any items. You will lose your cart when you clear the cache - I know eeeeeek! I truly feel your pain!
5. How to Clear Your Cache
Once youâve screen-grabbed your cart, clearing your cache is the next step:
1ïžâŁ Close some tabs
2ïžâŁ Restart your device
3ïžâŁ Clear your cache
4ïžâŁ Refresh the page
Clear cache quickly via Ctrl+Shift+Del (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac).
Otherwise, try your browser's Settings, Privacy, or Advanced options.

6. Donât Ignore Computer Updates!
A little tech advice: Keeping your device and software updated is key to avoiding glitches. Technology moves fast, and service providers release updates to keep things running smoothly. So, when that âupdate availableâ notification pops up, donât ignore it! Regular updates can help your device run more efficiently and minimize issues like checkout errors.
