Why it is worth watching
The mistakes are ordinary. The bill is not.
90% instead of 9%one keystroke in a discount on the busiest day of the year; every order that follows is sold at a loss until someone notices
$0.00what a broken supplier feed or a bulk edit leaves in the price field — the shop keeps selling, checkout keeps working
hourshow long such a mistake usually lives, because nothing in Shopify says a word about it — merchants find out from a customer or from the invoice
Shopify’s activity log shows changes after the fact and never alerts; Flow has no trigger for a price change or for a discount that expired. This app exists to fill exactly that gap — it watches your own store, not your competitors’.
Questions
How fast does an alert arrive?
Price and discount changes come to us as Shopify webhooks, so an alert usually lands within a minute of the change. Use counts of running codes are sampled every 15 minutes, which is what the leaked-code and “nobody has used it yet” checks are built on. Once a night the whole catalogue is read again, so a change that never reached us is still found.
Can you tell me who changed the price?
No. Shopify tells apps what changed and when, never who. The admin’s own activity log is where the person’s name lives. We would rather say this plainly than imply we know.
Will it flood me with messages?
Each problem is opened once and sent once. While it is open, the same problem for the same product or discount is never sent again, and it closes by itself when you fix it — the price goes back, the code is switched off. Stock changes are ignored on purpose, and everything informational goes to the daily digest instead of your chat.
What do you consider “wrong”?
By default: a discount of 50% or more; a fixed amount larger than the average price of what it applies to; a code with no end date and no usage limit; two stacking automatic discounts at once; a price at 0 or down by 50%; a price moved by 20% either way; a compare-at price that is not above the price; a product taken off sale or deleted; a code used far above its usual pace. On Pro every one of those thresholds is yours to change, and any rule can be switched off.
Is my customers’ data stored?
No. From a paid order the app keeps the lines only: product, quantity, price and what each discount took off, so Results can say what a promo brought. Names, e-mails, addresses and phone numbers never reach us; we request no customer fields from Shopify. There is nothing about your customers for us to store, lose or be asked about.
We run deep discounts on purpose. Will it alert every time?
No. Open the discount in Promos and confirm it as the plan: its value, dates, usage limit and conditions as they are now. From then on this discount is compared with what you confirmed instead of the general thresholds, so the 70% you planned stays silent. If someone later changes it to 97%, removes the end date or lifts the limit, you get an alert that names the field, what it was and what it is.
What is in the Monday report?
What stood under watch, how many changes we saw, which promos started and ended, what was caught and how long it stayed open, what your promos brought in paid orders, and which discounts start or end in the next seven days. In a week when nothing went wrong it says so. You can see it at any time on the home screen of the app, built from the real numbers of your store.
What is the cleanup report?
The morning after a discount ends, the app lists what the promo left behind: codes created during it that have no end date, automatic discounts still active, and products whose compare-at price was set during the sale and still sits above the price. Changes made before you installed the app are invisible to us, and the report says so.
What does each plan include?
Free: every rule checked, everything visible in the app, the daily digest and the cleanup report, one channel, up to 10 instant red alerts a month, seven days of history. Pro $9: instant alerts without a limit, yellow alerts too, up to 10 channels, your own thresholds, 90 days of history with CSV export, and the cleanup report sent to a channel. Pro starts with 14 free days and is billed by Shopify.
My store has more than 2,000 variants.
Free watches the first 2,000 and says so plainly on the home screen — discounts are always watched in full. Pro watches every variant.
