Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost monitoring apps rely only on Shopify webhooks, which Shopify does not guarantee will arrive, so outages go unreported. ruli is different: it runs a synthetic probe against your live storefront on a schedule, loading the homepage, adding a product to cart, and confirming checkout is reachable.
Your store can be up and still not sell. A theme edit, app update or third-party script can break Add to Cart overnight. Uptime stays green while analytics shows the damage days later — and your ad spend keeps running. Shoptest runs real shopper journeys on a schedule — checkout, cart, search, navigation. It watches orders, CVR, AOV, payment health, page speed and broken links.

- Alerts on out-of-stock and accidentally unpublished products
- Native embedded dashboard, set up monitoring in under a minute
- Real shopper journeys tested on a schedule — checkout, cart, search, navigation
- Store Radar alerts you when orders stop, conversion drops or payments fail
