Monitor your Shopify store.

01 / Step
Add your Shopify store
In the Liulum dashboard, go to Portfolio and click Add site. Paste your Shopify store URL (e.g. https://your-store.myshopify.com or your custom domain). Care verifies the URL, then scheduled monitoring can probe uptime and SSL — no Shopify app or API key required.
02 / Step
Monitor critical Shopify paths
Go to Site Settings and add the revenue-critical URLs for your store. At minimum, monitor your homepage, a product page, the cart endpoint, and the checkout URL. Care sends a real HTTP request to each and asserts the response.
# Recommended Shopify paths to monitor
https://your-store.com/ # Storefront
https://your-store.com/collections/all # Collections
https://your-store.com/cart # Cart page
https://your-store.com/checkout # Checkout flow
https://your-store.com/cdn/shop/... # CDN asset check03 / Step
Set response assertions
Tell Care what a healthy response looks like for each path. For your cart endpoint, check that the response contains "cart". For checkout, assert a 200 and a latency under 2 seconds. This prevents false positives from Shopify password protection or maintenance mode.
# Example assertion (set in dashboard)
path: /checkout
status: 200
max_ms: 2000
contains: "Shopify"04 / Step
Configure alerts
In Settings > Alerts, add your Slack channel, email address, or webhook URL. Care alerts you after a monitored Shopify failure is verified, with a plain-English description instead of only a raw error code.
05 / Step
Set escalation and approval rules
External Shopify monitoring never edits Shopify infrastructure. Choose who receives verified incidents and which actions must wait for a person; if Liulum also manages an adjacent hosting layer, only its separately approved recovery playbooks can run there.

Add the trust badge
Copy the snippet below and paste it into your Shopify theme footer (Themes > Edit code > footer.liquid). The badge shows your live uptime grade — a credibility signal for shoppers and proof you take uptime seriously.

Common questions
Do I need to install a Shopify app?
No. Care monitors configured public paths from the outside — no Shopify app, API key, or store permissions are required for those scheduled checks.
Will Care trigger my Shopify analytics or order counts?
Care uses HEAD or GET requests to check availability and does not simulate checkout. It will not create test orders or appear as a customer session in most analytics.
My store is password-protected during setup. How do I monitor it?
Password-protected stores return a 200 on the password gate page, not the real storefront. Disable the Shopify password before adding paths to Care, or use the password-bypass preview URL Shopify provides.
Care reports a 301 for my checkout URL
Shopify often redirects /checkout to a localized or session-specific path. Add the final destination URL, or monitor /cart instead and use the checkout assertion on a known product page.
