Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYour store can break without you knowing. A theme update stops the add-to-cart button, a page goes down, or an app has an outage - and the first sign is often a drop in sales. Firebell monitors your pages and tests your checkout like a real customer, then emails you and your team the moment something breaks - and again when it's fixed.
StoreAlert keeps you update by sending notification email for every hassle. Create custom notifications for key store happenings. Whenever an event triggers, such as product deletion, creation, price change, an automatic notification is sent based on that event.
- Around-the-clock monitoring of your homepage and the pages you choose
- Automatic checkout testing that catches broken buy buttons before customers
- Instant email and Slack alerts with clear steps on what to check and fix
