Hi @pabernathy
From your provided information, there might be a synchronization issue between your WooCommerce store and the payment gateway you’re using. Normally, once an order is placed and payment is received, the order should appear in your WooCommerce Orders list with an associated order number.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
- Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with WooCommerce’s operations. To rule this out, temporarily deactivate all your plugins except WooCommerce and see if the orders reappear. If they do, reactivate your plugins one by one to identify the one causing the conflict. You can find a more detailed explanation of conducting a conflict test here.
- Check WooCommerce Version: Ensure you are using the latest version of WooCommerce. Outdated versions may have bugs that have been fixed in more recent updates.
- Check Payment Gateway Settings: Verify that your payment gateway settings are correctly configured. Sometimes, issues with the payment gateway can cause orders to not be properly recorded.
- Enable Debug Mode: You can enable WooCommerce’s debug mode to see if any errors are being generated when an order is placed. This can be done from WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > Log.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, to better understand the exact issue you are experiencing, please share a clear screenshot of what you are seeing on your end.

Please note that, if the orders were not properly logged in the orders list, there may not be a way to recover the detailed order information. However, since the payment was received and recorded in the transactions report, you should still have the essential information such as the customer’s name, email, and the amount paid.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks!
