Shopify Platform Monitoring

In addition to monitoring your individual store, Blimey also keeps an eye on Shopify's overall platform status.

What is platform monitoring?

Shopify has many services that power your store — checkout, API, admin, storefront rendering, and more. When Shopify has platform-wide issues, it can affect all stores, not just yours.

Blimey periodically checks Shopify's status page to detect these platform-wide issues.

What gets tracked

Blimey monitors the status of various Shopify components and detects when any of them report issues. When a new issue is detected, it's recorded and displayed in your dashboard.

Where to see platform status

Dashboard — Active platform issues are shown prominently if any exist
Shopify Status page — A dedicated page showing current Shopify platform status

Why this matters

If your store is experiencing issues, knowing whether it's a Shopify-wide problem helps you decide how to respond:

Shopify issue → Wait for Shopify to resolve it. No action needed on your end.
Your store only → Investigate your store's configuration, theme, apps, or domain settings.
