Free Shopify Black Friday Readiness Audit
The fastest way to know if your checkout is BFCM-ready is to walk the purchase journey the way a customer would. Our free scan does exactly that and hands you the evidence.
What the audit checks
The scan attempts a real purchase on your live store: it opens a product, selects a variant, adds to cart, and advances to the Shopify checkout page — on both desktop and mobile — asserting each step. If any step fails, you see the exact point of failure in a step-by-step screenshot of the flow, alongside the storefront apps and scripts detected on your store.
Why a free scan beats a manual click-through
Clicking through your own store once, on your own phone, on your home Wi-Fi, tells you very little. An automated audit runs the flow consistently, on both viewports, and captures the console errors a human eye can't see — the invisible failures that still return HTTP 200.
When to run it before Black Friday 2026
Run the audit three times: once in mid October to find problems while there's time to fix them, once around Friday 13 November after your campaign codes and bundles are set up, and once on the frozen store around Friday 20 November. Black Friday is 27 November and Cyber Monday is 30 November.
From one-off audit to continuous coverage
A pre-BFCM audit is a snapshot. Your store keeps changing right up to and during the event, and not only because of your own team: third-party app code on a typical monitored store changed about 5 times a week in our App Change Report. Pair the audit with continuous monitoring for the peak window, so a break introduced on Black Friday morning is caught the same way.
