For Shopify stores

Your store, checked like a shopper. Every day.

BugRadar opens your Shopify store in desktop and mobile browsers, walks the menu, product pages and cart, and tells you the moment a check catches a problem, before a customer finds it.

What we found

Most stores find out from a customer.

A theme update, a new app or a price change can quietly break a page. Nobody on the team clicks through the whole store every morning, so the first person to notice is a shopper who leaves.

What we found on 800+ Shopify stores

The robot shopper walked 818 Shopify stores from 13 October. On 25 October every problem a page visit could prove was opened again: 72 were still live, on 53 stores. Here are the kinds, with made-up examples. No store is named.

62dead links

Links that open “Page not found”

A menu item, sale banner, homepage button or footer link points to a page that was renamed or deleted. By far the most common problem.

Banner: “Only this week”yourstore.com/collections/salePage not found
10stores

Missing pages that quietly show the homepage

An old product link from an ad, WhatsApp or Google lands on the homepage with no message. Google flags these too.

Refund, shipping or terms page missing

The footer links to a policy page that doesn't exist, right where careful shoppers look before they pay.

Footer: “Refund policy”yourstore.com/pages/refund-policyPage not found
5of those links

Social and phone links missing https://

The footer's Instagram or phone link opens a page on the store itself instead of the app, so it goes nowhere.

Footer: “Instagram”yourstore.com/www.instagram.com/yourstorePage not found

Only problems a plain page visit can prove are counted here, so the real number is higher. BugRadar looks for every one of these on your store, in desktop and mobile browsers.

How it works

Nothing to set up and nothing to write. You only hear from BugRadar when something changes.

  1. Step 1

    Add your store

    Install BugRadar from the Shopify App Store. No code, no theme changes, no access to your orders or customers.

  2. Step 2

    First check in a minute

    Radar opens your store like a shopper, in a desktop and a mobile browser, and ticks off every check. Then again every day, or every 4 hours on Pro.

  3. Step 3

    Email or Slack when something breaks

    🔴 the moment a check catches a problem, 🟢 when it's fixed. Slack is one click: Add to Slack. A store that doesn't load is checked again 10 minutes later before you're told.

Questions store owners ask

Does BugRadar place orders or pay for anything?

No. It opens checkout to see that it works, and stops there. Nothing is typed into checkout and nothing is paid, so there are no test orders to cancel.

Will it slow down my store?

No. Each check visits a few pages, one at a time, about as much as a single shopper browsing for a few minutes.

Do I need to write tests or set anything up?

No. BugRadar finds your menu, collections, products and cart by itself from your store's address. It works on standard Shopify themes and most custom ones.

What happens when something breaks?

The moment a check catches it, you get an email (or a Slack message on Pro) with what broke, in which browser and the page to open. When it's fixed, you get a 🟢 message. On Pro, a short summary also arrives every morning at 9:00.

What can the app see in my store?

Only your menus, products and live theme, and only to read them. BugRadar never changes your store and never sees orders or customers. Our privacy page lists exactly what it reads and why.

My store is still behind a password. Can it be checked?

Yes. Give BugRadar the storefront password once. It's stored encrypted and typed only into Shopify's own password page.

Is it only for Shopify?

Yes, for now. BugRadar is built around how Shopify stores work. The free check works on any Shopify store's address.

Is the Shopify app in the App Store?

Yes. Search for "BugRadar: Daily Store Checks" in the Shopify App Store, or use the Install on Shopify button on this site. Pick Free or Pro when you install, and the daily checks start on their own.

How much does it cost?

Free is $0: the core checks once a day, with email alerts. Pro is $19/month after a 14-day free trial: every check every 4 hours, Slack, the morning summary and payment-provider alerts. Billed through Shopify.
