What proof looks like
When checkout fails, Helix tells you in seconds.
Here’s exactly what happens when checkout fails.
-
2:03 PM
Helix detects HTTP 503 on /checkout
We confirm it’s not a fluke by running a second check immediately.
-
2:04 PM
You get the DOWN alert
Email hits your inbox (SMS coming soon) with the exact failing page and status code.
-
2:10 PM
Checkout recovers
Helix confirms three healthy checks in a row and sends the RECOVERED alert so you know it’s safe.
Stores lose sales every day from broken checkouts—most never realize it until hours later.

Founder reviews

★★★★★
“The $2 plan paid for itself day one. We got a DOWN alert during a paid drop, jumped in, and kept ROAS from tanking.”
★★★★☆
“Love that it’s external. No code, no app—just honest alerts in my inbox so I’m not guessing if checkout is alive.”
