The problem
Why e-commerce stores need a status page
Lost revenue during outages
When checkout or payments go down, every minute of silence costs you sales. Shoppers don't troubleshoot — they abandon their cart and buy from a competitor. Without a status page, you have no way to tell them you're working on it.
Support ticket floods
A single checkout outage generates hundreds of "I can't complete my order" tickets. Your support team drowns in duplicate requests instead of helping customers with real issues. A status page deflects 60%+ of these tickets automatically.
Peak sales vulnerability
Black Friday, holiday sales, and product launches are when your store is most likely to have issues — and when the stakes are highest. Without proactive communication, a brief outage during peak traffic becomes a reputation crisis on social media.
Granular visibility
Component-level status for every system in your store
Create separate components for checkout, payments, search, shipping, inventory, and order tracking. When one system has issues, shoppers see exactly what's affected — and what's still working fine.
- Individual components for checkout, payments, shipping, and more
- Real-time status updates per system
- Component-level subscriptions for targeted notifications
Shopper communication
Keep shoppers informed with automatic notifications
Shoppers can subscribe to your status page and get email notifications the moment you post an incident or resolve an issue. No manual outreach, no copy-pasting updates to social media — just automatic, reliable communication.
- Automatic email notifications to subscribers
- Component-specific subscriptions
- Incident timeline from investigation to resolution
Peak sales ready
Independent infrastructure that stays online when your store doesn't
CheckStatus is hosted on completely separate infrastructure from your store. During Black Friday traffic spikes, server overloads, or CDN issues, your status page stays online — giving shoppers confidence that you're aware and working on it.
- Independent infrastructure from your store
- Stays online during your outages
- Scheduled maintenance for planned sales events
