Use a copy of the store to try the cart, coupons, shipping, and payments in test mode. Check logged-in customer pages and order emails. If traffic jumps during sales, ask Kinsta what resources the proposed plan has for the busiest part of the day. Kinsta’s WooCommerce hosting
How Would I Recover Recent Orders?
Daily backups are useful, but an order placed after the last backup may be missing from a restored copy. Decide how you’d reconcile those orders using payment and order records. If the gap is too large, ask about more frequent backups and test the restore process. Kinsta’s backup options
