How to Monitor Payment Gateways: Checkly vs supaguard

A head-to-head comparison of monitoring Payment Gateways using Checkly and supaguard. Discover the modern AI approach to synthetic testing.

Monitoring Payment Gateways is vital to your business. If it goes down, you lose revenue and trust. Let's compare how you would monitor Payment Gateways using Checkly versus supaguard.

The Checkly Approach

To monitor Payment Gateways in Checkly, you must:

  1. Open your IDE and initialize a new Playwright project.
  2. Write raw TypeScript code to navigate to the page and interact with the elements.
  3. Handle edge cases (like slow networks or cookie banners) manually in code.
  4. Deploy the code via Checkly CLI.
  5. Continuously update the code every time the Payment Gateways UI changes.

The result: You spend more time maintaining tests than fixing actual bugs.

The supaguard Approach

supaguard replaces the script with an AI Agent.

  1. Tell supaguard: "Navigate to the site and verify the Payment Gateways works."
  2. supaguard generates the optimal testing flow instantly.
  3. If the UI changes, supaguard's Sanctum AI automatically heals the test and continues monitoring.
