Friction Observatory

Team

Checkout monitoring that needs a QA engineer to maintain Playwright scripts will not get adopted by most Shopify teams. Friction Observatory is built for merchants and agencies who install an app and need truth in minutes.

The install path

  1. Install Friction Observatory from the Shopify App Store
  2. Open Monitoring — generate tests from your catalog, or paste 1–5 product URLs
  3. Choose markets (and devices), then Start test
  4. Read the report: health score, findings, video, screenshots
Ready-to-run preview after Generate checkout tests
Generate checkout tests — URLs and markets ready, then Start test.
Run checkout test control on Monitoring
One click to run. Evidence lands on the report when the audit finishes.
