 * I now update on staging site as every time I update it causes a fatal error. 
   Then I need to restore my site. I have tried deleting Woocommerce which allows
   me to install the updated version but then next time I go to update it always
   causes the error.

 * Hi [@tsmallswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsmallswp/) 👋
 * This kind of problem is usually caused by a conflict with your theme or with 
   another plugin.
      The best way to determine this is to:
    - Temporarily switch your theme to [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/)
    - **Disable all** plugins except for WooCommerce
    - Update WooCommerce
 * If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then
   you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure
   out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by
   one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. [You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
