The problem

Building a headless Shopify store offers unparalleled flexibility and performance, but it also introduces new points of failure. If your custom GraphQL or REST API endpoints, which power everything from product displays to cart functionality, encounter downtime, your entire storefront can become unresponsive. This directly impacts revenue, conversion rates, and customer trust, as visitors encounter broken pages or are unable to complete purchases.

Traditional Shopify monitoring often only checks the backend admin, not your custom frontend API calls. When a critical endpoint fetching product data or managing checkout state goes down, you might be the last to know, learning about it from frustrated customers or a sudden dip in sales. Manually checking dozens of endpoints is unsustainable and reactive, leaving you vulnerable to silent API failures that cost thousands in lost opportunities.

How Tickr solves it

Monitor your critical Shopify Storefront API endpoints for instant downtime alerts.

Specify expected HTTP status codes and response times for precise health checks.

Receive immediate email or Telegram notifications when your headless store experiences an API outage.

Concrete example


<!-- Example of a failing Shopify Storefront API call -->
<div class="api-check-result">
  <p><strong>Endpoint:</strong> https://your-store.com/api/2023-10/graphql.json</p>
  <p><strong>Method:</strong> POST</p>
  <p><strong>Expected Status:</strong> 200 OK</p>
  <p><strong>Actual Status:</strong> 503 Service Unavailable <span style="color:red;">(DOWN)</span></p>
  <p><strong>Response Time:</strong> 1250ms <span style="color:red;">(SLOW)</span></p>
</div>

Frequently asked questions

Can Tickr monitor specific GraphQL queries on my headless Shopify store?

Yes, Tickr allows you to specify the exact URL, HTTP method (POST), and request body for your GraphQL queries. This ensures you're monitoring the actual API calls your storefront makes, not just the general endpoint.

How quickly will I be alerted if my Shopify Storefront API goes down?

Tickr pings your endpoints on a schedule you define, as frequently as every 10 seconds. If an expected status code isn't received, you'll get an email and Telegram alert within seconds of detection.

Is this only for Shopify Plus, or can I use it with any headless Shopify setup?

Tickr is compatible with any headless Shopify setup that exposes API endpoints. Whether you're using Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, Next.js, or a custom frontend, if it relies on HTTP calls, we can monitor it.
