Question 1

What is CartCairn?

Accepted Answer

CartCairn is a private storefront monitor for online shop owners. A signed-in owner can save one product URL, run checks from the owner dashboard, and review the resulting check history, incidents, and daily report there. The dashboard is owner-private; CartCairn does not publish a public monitoring feed.

Question 2

How does an owner set up a monitor?

Accepted Answer

After signing in, an owner saves exactly one product URL as the account monitor. That saved URL can be edited later. Monitoring can also be paused and re-enabled from the owner dashboard. The current MVP does not support multiple saved product monitors on one account.

Question 3

When does a check run?

Accepted Answer

An owner can start a check manually from the dashboard. Active monitors also receive a daily background check on a UTC schedule; a saved active checkout path is read through that same evidence-backed flow. Saving or re-enabling a monitor does not run a check immediately.

Question 4

What does a manual check read?

Accepted Answer

A check reads the saved product page and the purchase destinations it finds there, then records the outcomes and check time. An owner can optionally save one checkout handoff for an additional read-only remote check. That handoff check reads the destination only; it never submits checkout details or payment.

Question 5

What happens when a check finds a failure?

Accepted Answer

A persisted failed outcome can create an incident in the owner dashboard. The incident records the failed URL, when it was checked, and captured evidence so the owner has a concrete starting point for investigation. Incidents are part of the owner-private workflow, not a public alert feed.

Question 6

What is the persistent daily report?

Accepted Answer

After saved checks exist, CartCairn stores the owner’s report for that UTC date. It includes the check count, health status, check snapshots, and incidents linked to those checks. The dashboard can show that stored report again later. Before the first saved check for a date, the dashboard shows that no report is available yet.

Question 7

What does CartCairn not do yet?

Accepted Answer

The current MVP does not claim AI analysis, platform integrations, or checkout transaction monitoring. A saved checkout handoff is only a read-only remote page check: it does not complete a purchase, submit checkout, or process payment.
