Before the rush
Your Black Friday campaign only works if customers can buy from you.
Even a small problem with your online store can get in the way when traffic and orders increase.
Your store is slow on mobile.
Extra traffic exposes performance problems at exactly the wrong time.
Checkout has a problem.
A small error in the buying journey becomes much more important when order volumes increase.
Everything looks ready, until the campaign starts.
An update or configuration problem or overlooked technical issue gets discovered by customers instead of you.

Why PoodleCollective
Not another automated website score.
Your store isn’t being passed through a generic checker and handed back with a list of scores.
An experienced UK-based developer will work through the important parts of your store, test the buying journey and look at the relevant technical setup behind it.
If we find something, we’ll tell you what matters, what doesn’t and what we’d recommend doing next.
We build ecommerce systems too.
We don’t just check online stores. Our work includes bespoke WooCommerce buying journeys, custom checkout and order functionality, product configuration systems and integrations between online stores and external platforms.

Black Friday 2026: Friday 27 November.Questions about the Black Friday Store Check
What exactly is included in the Black Friday Store Check?
We'll review a representative customer journey through your online store, including key product pages, basket, checkout and available payment methods.
We'll also check the mobile buying experience, performance on selected key pages, relevant technical health, important delivery and customer information, and up to three Black Friday promotions or discount codes that you provide.
This is a focused readiness check rather than a comprehensive audit of every page, product or part of your website.
How long does the review take?
The review itself is designed to be completed within a working day once we have everything we need from you.
We'll confirm the planned review date when you book. We recommend booking well before Black Friday so there is time to deal with anything we find.
Do you need access to my store?
We'll need the website address and details of any Black Friday offers you'd like us to test.
Depending on your store and what needs checking, we may also ask for appropriate temporary access to the website or relevant systems. We'll confirm exactly what we need before the review begins.
What happens if you find a problem?
We'll tell you what we've found, why it matters and how urgently we think it needs attention.
Your findings will be prioritised as Fix before Black Friday, Recommended before Black Friday or Can wait, so you can see where to concentrate first.
Do you fix the problems too?
Fixes and development work aren't included in the £395 Store Check.
You can deal with the findings yourself, pass them to your existing developer, or ask us to quote for the work. There is no obligation to use Poodle Collective for any fixes we recommend.
Is this only for WooCommerce stores?
No. We work with WooCommerce and other ecommerce systems.
If your store uses a particularly unusual or heavily bespoke platform, contact us before booking so we can make sure the check is suitable.
Don’t wait for your customers to find the problem.
Have your online store checked before Black Friday.
