For PrestaShop Stores & Agencies

PrestaShop monitoring beyond HTTP 200

Check store availability, checkout, cron jobs, and SSL. A working homepage does not confirm that a customer can place an order.

PrestaShop problems hidden from basic uptime checks

These issues don't return HTTP 500. They return 200 with broken functionality.

Silent Cron Failures

Orders not processing. Emails not sending. Inventory not updating.

Your server returns 200 OK, but the cron job silently fails. Standard monitoring sees »site up«, you see chaos 3 days later.

Impact: No order processing, no customer emails

Import Finished, Products Invisible

You imported 1000 products. Customers see an empty catalog. Admin panel shows »import successful«.

Standard monitoring pings the homepage. Homepage loads fine. But category pages show zero products because indexing failed.

Impact: Products invisible, sales stop

Checkout Breaks, Customers See Errors

Payment gateway times out. Checkout form doesn't load. Server error at payment step.

Standard monitoring checks if your site is »up«. It doesn't test if customers can actually complete a purchase.

Impact: Cart abandonment, direct revenue loss

Cache Serves Wrong Content

Varnish or Redis cache corrupted. Customers see old prices, broken layouts, or wrong product data.

Standard monitoring sees HTTP 200. Cache serves valid HTML. But it's the wrong HTML from 3 hours ago.

Impact: Wrong content, lost customer trust

Uptime monitors talk about servers. PingView talks about sales.

Frequently asked questions about PrestaShop monitoring

Do I need a plugin to monitor PrestaShop?
No. Monitoring runs fully externally, we check your shop from the outside like a real customer. The optional free module only surfaces current status and incidents in your back office, but it is not required for monitoring to work.
How much does PrestaShop monitoring cost with PingView?
The Starter plan costs 24.99 $ per month and covers 25 monitors across 3 locations, with a fastest check interval of 3 minutes. There is also a free plan covering 10 monitors.
How quickly does PingView detect a store outage?
Your store is checked in parallel from several locations, on Starter at a fastest interval of 3 minutes. An alert goes out once the failure is confirmed by follow-up checks, so a single transient timeout does not raise a false alarm.
Which PrestaShop versions does the module support?
The module is compatible with PrestaShop 1.7.6 and newer, including the 8.x line. External monitoring itself works with any PrestaShop version and any e-commerce platform.
Does the module affect shop performance?
No. The module only reads status from the PingView API and displays it in the admin panel, with no impact on your storefront or checkout. The API key is stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM, never in plaintext.
What do you monitor beyond plain uptime?
We test the real checkout flow, track cron execution, and check SSL certificates, DNS resolution, and response times. Every incident comes with a screenshot and a full execution log.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can add your store URL and run the first tests in minutes, with no plugin installation and no access to your shop's admin panel.
