Looking for a Robot Ninja replacement? Here is how Tracefox compares.
Robot Ninja was an automated checkout testing tool for WooCommerce. Its shutdown was announced on 2 March 2020 and began on 31 March 2020, and its site now runs in archive mode with signups and logins disabled. Tracefox covers the same job: create a checkout test once, run it on a schedule, and get an alert with a video when a run fails. It also monitors tracking scripts, cookies and consent banners, which Robot Ninja did not list.
Migrating from Robot Ninja?
If you relied on Robot Ninja to catch silent checkout failures, such as a theme or plugin update breaking the cart or a payment gateway setting changing, Tracefox gives you the same core workflow:
- ✓Generate a test from your WooCommerce, Shopify or BigCommerce store URL, or record your checkout with the Tracefox Chrome extension (Pro and Business)
- ✓Run it automatically weekly on Starter, daily on Pro, or as often as hourly on Business
- ✓When a scheduled run fails, it is re-run once to confirm, then the alert names the failed step, with screenshots and a video of the run
- ✓Choose desktop, mobile or tablet for each test on Pro and Business (one viewport per test)
- ✓Rebuild your existing test flows in Tracefox; we'll help if you need it
What Tracefox adds beyond checkout tests
Checkout testing is one layer. Site-wide script and consent monitoring catches silent breakages that Robot Ninja's checkout tests did not cover.
Tracking pixel monitoring
When a theme or plugin update silently strips your Facebook Pixel or GA4 tag, Tracefox flags it on the next site scan. Robot Ninja did not list tracking tag checks.
Cookie & consent monitoring
Third-party apps can add cookies before consent, and consent platform changes can go unnoticed. Tracefox compares cookies and the consent banner on every scan.
Still here, still shipping
Robot Ninja is in archive mode and no longer accepts signups. Tracefox is actively developed and open to new stores.
When Robot Ninja is the better fit
Today it isn't an option: Robot Ninja no longer accepts signups or logins. If you mainly need WooCommerce form and checkout tests across many WordPress sites, also compare CheckView.
