Monitoring for Shopify stores

Know the checkout is broken
before your client calls you.

StorefrontCheck walks through a real purchase on every store you manage — variant, quantity, price, cart, checkout — every four hours, on mobile and desktop. No app to install, no admin access. Just the storefront URL.

Two client stores monitored free for 14 days. No credit card, and nothing for your client to install.

  • Works from the storefront URL alone
  • Verified against Shopify's own cart data
  • Out of stock is never reported as breakage

Uptime monitoring says the store is fine

A storefront answers with HTTP 200 while nobody can buy from it. That is how breakage is usually found:

The client calls you

They noticed before you did. The conversation starts from behind, and it is about trust, not about a bug.

Sales quietly drop

The store is up, the pages load, nothing looks wrong. Add to Cart has been silently failing since the last theme update.

Nobody notices at all

A variant sends the wrong item to the cart. Orders keep coming, and the returns arrive three weeks later.

We check that someone can actually buy

The whole path a customer takes, walked end to end, on a 1440px desktop and a 390px phone.

  1. Home
  2. Collection
  3. Product
  4. Variant
  5. Quantity
  6. Add to Cart
  7. Cart
  8. Checkout
  • The product page shows the price Shopify actually charges
  • Switching a variant selects that variant — and that is the one added
  • The quantity chosen is the quantity that reaches the cart
  • Add to Cart changes the cart, confirmed in Shopify’s cart data
  • Line prices and the subtotal add up
  • The cart survives a refresh, and items can be changed or removed
  • Checkout opens with the cart in it — nothing is ever ordered
  • Product and cart images load; no broken JavaScript on the way

State is read from Shopify’s own endpoints, never from the page. Theme markup differs from store to store; the cart data does not.

You get the evidence, not a red dot

Every check reports on its own, with the numbers behind it. This is a real run.

A failure names one thing

One broken drawer produces one line, not seven. Checks that depend on it are marked not applicable, so the report stays readable.

Silence is earned

Out of stock, a missing cart drawer, a single-variant product — none of these are breakage. Rate limiting is reported as “not checked”, never as a fault.

How it works

Add the storefront URL

Plus a collection and a product to buy. That is the whole setup — no app to install, no staff account, no admin access.

We walk a purchase every four hours

On desktop and on mobile, at a human pace. A fresh session each time, so the cart always starts empty.

You hear from us only when it matters

A failure is re-checked before it counts. One email, when a completed run finds a confirmed problem.

Nothing is ever ordered. We stop at the checkout screen, so your client’s orders and reports stay clean.

Questions

Do you need access to the Shopify admin?
No. Everything is done from the public storefront, the way a customer would. If the store is password protected while it is being built, we can take the storefront password — nothing more.
Will this create test orders?
No. We add to the cart and open the checkout to confirm it loads, then stop. No customer details are entered and no order is placed.
What happens when a product goes out of stock?
Nothing. Out of stock is a normal state, not a fault — the Add to Cart checks are skipped and marked as such. Alerts you can ignore are worse than no alerts.

Add a storefront URL and we start checking straight away. No admin access, no install, nothing for your client to do.
