Website monitoring
for online shops.
When the shop is down, sales stop and nobody tells you. Beamfar checks your shop, reads its certificate, domain and DNS, and alerts you when it is down.
- Shopify, WooCommerce, any stack
- No plugin to install
- No card for the Free plan
What goes wrong, and what you hear
The page answers, but shows an error
Ask a check to find a piece of text on the page, such as the add-to-cart button, and a page that answers with an error still counts as down.
A certificate ends on a Saturday
Browsers block a shop with an expired certificate; you hear 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before it ends.
A DNS change moves the shop
A changed A record or name server is caught, with what was added and removed.

Questions
Does it work with Shopify and WooCommerce?
Yes. Beamfar checks the public shop from outside, so it works with Shopify, WooCommerce and any other platform, with nothing to install.
Can it check that a page shows the right content?
Yes. A page check can be asked to contain a piece of text, which catches a page that answers but shows an error.
Can customers see a status page?
Yes. A public status page shows the current state and the last 90 days, with confirmed incidents only.
