BigCommerce checkouts break after every theme and app update. Catch it on the next scheduled run.
Embedded checkout scripts, custom checkouts built on the Open Checkout SDK, Stencil theme updates, and third-party app installs all introduce regressions that uptime monitors don't see. Tracefox replays your full checkout flow automatically, hourly, daily, or weekly, and sends you a video the second a step fails.
Why BigCommerce checkouts fail silently
Stencil theme updates
A customization to cart.html or checkout.html that worked yesterday breaks after a Stencil CLI push, or after BigCommerce updates the parent theme. Customers see a broken button or a frozen checkout step.
Embedded checkout misconfigurations
BigCommerce's embedded checkout sits inside an iframe. A small change in parent page styling, CSP headers, or cross-origin config can strand customers at the payment step.
App conflicts and payment gateway issues
A newly-installed conversion-optimization app injects a script that blocks checkout submission. A payment provider's API key rotates. Custom checkout logic errors silently. None of these trigger BigCommerce's own alerts.
How Tracefox tests your BigCommerce checkout
Record once in your browser. Replay forever, on every viewport, in a real Chromium session.
Chrome extension recorder
Install the extension, click through your checkout once, add to cart, proceed to embedded checkout, fill shipping, enter payment, reach confirmation. The extension captures every interaction for replay.
Scheduled replays
Hourly on Business, daily on Pro, weekly on Starter. Multi-viewport on Pro+ lets the same recording run on desktop, mobile, and tablet so you catch device-specific failures.
Video + step evidence on failure
When a step fails, you get the MP4 of the whole run, a screenshot of the failed step, the console output, and a shareable link you can forward to your developer.
Slack + webhook alerts
Failures fire immediately to Slack (Pro+) or a webhook (Business). Passing runs roll up into a weekly digest so your inbox stays sane.
Script & tracker monitoring too
While replaying checkouts, Tracefox also monitors which scripts, cookies, and consent banners are loading. A successful checkout that dropped your Facebook Pixel is still a failure you need to know about.
