Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCartPulse runs a real shopper’s path through your store around the clock: it opens a product, adds it to the cart and loads checkout, the same way a customer would. If any step fails, you get an email with the failing step, the error and a screenshot of the page (plus Slack on Enterprise), and another when it recovers. Pick key products to test every hour, or have every in-stock variant tested daily.
Checkout Sentinel runs browser checks from a selected product page through add-to-cart and checkout. Merchants can choose a Shopify product so the monitor follows handle changes, or paste a product URL. Before monitoring starts, a setup test verifies the path and required buttons.
