The Problem: Shop Down = Revenue Gone

In e-commerce, every second counts. And yet this happens every day:

• Shop down, ads keep running – your Google Ads budget burns on an error page
• Checkout broken, home page OK – classic monitoring reports “all green” while customers can’t pay
• Payment API responds slowly – abandonment rate rises, you only notice in the month-end numbers
• SSL certificate expires – browsers block, revenue collapses from one minute to the next

From what we see, a shop outage easily costs EUR 50-200 per hour – much more for larger shops. Monitoring here isn’t luxury, it’s insurance.

The Solution: Checks that Cover the Full Buying Flow

With live24h, you don’t just monitor “is the home page reachable?”. You monitor the real customer journey:

• Home page, category and product detail – so SEO traffic doesn’t land on a 500
• Cart and checkout – the pages where revenue actually happens
• Payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Mollie) – if this breaks, nobody pays
• Login and customer account – critical for returning customers and B2B shops
• SSL certificate and domain expiry – warned on time, not after
• Response-time degradation – if the shop is slowly becoming sluggish, you see it immediately

Every check executed from multiple regions – so you know whether it’s really the shop or just a regional network hiccup.

Example Check Setup for a Typical Shop

This is what monitoring looks like for a typical e-commerce customer of ours:

This whole setup fits into the Business plan (EUR 34.90/month) – including multi-region and SMS alerts on checkout failure.

Integration with Your Team

Alerts land where your team actually sees them:

• Slack and Microsoft Teams – the #dev-alerts channel hears about it instantly
• SMS for critical checks – checkout down doesn’t have to wait for the next email
• Telegram for the shop owner – if the team is asleep
• Email with acknowledge button – one click and further escalation stops

The Business plan includes 25 SMS credits, the Agency plan 75. You rarely need more – unless your shop has real problems.

Status Page: Transparency that Builds Trust

When something does go down, you communicate professionally – instead of customers raging in your support chat:

• Public status page on your own domain (status.your-shop.com)
• Automatic incident updates – as soon as the check is green again, the incident closes
• Uptime history – proves that your shop is otherwise stable
• Subscribable via email / RSS – B2B customers love this

For Shopify/Shopware shops you can even link the status page from the footer – instead of “our site is down” there’s a clean, up-to-date explanation.
