Child-product safety operations for Shopify
See which SKUs are missing proof, which official alerts need review, and what your team did next.
Northstar Safety gives small child-product brands one calm workspace for catalog sync, evidence coverage, official notice review, and investigation history.
Shopify-first
US + Canada focus
Child-product pilot
Evidence queue
Know what proof is missingNorthstar keeps missing, stale, and review-needed documents visible without making the operator decode a spreadsheet.
Operator review
Review official notices with contextFalse positives are expected. Northstar keeps the written review reason so the same alert does not waste time twice.
Built around official sources
Northstar is designed around official recall and safety notice workflows rather than scraped social chatter.
Minimal Shopify access
The current pilot uses read-only product access. Northstar does not need customer or order data for its core workflow.
Software, not outsourced consulting
The product helps the merchant own the monthly process without turning into an endless service engagement.
Why teams use Northstar
The hard part is not finding documents. It is seeing what is missing, what matters, and what already happened.
Start from the real catalog
Northstar syncs Shopify products and variants so operators stop rebuilding the product list in spreadsheets and email threads.
Make evidence gaps visible
Each SKU gets an evidence checklist with current, stale, and missing states that are written for a normal operator, not only a specialist.
Review official alerts with context
Official notices are matched to catalog items, then confirmed or dismissed with a practical written trail the next teammate can understand.
Open investigations only when needed
Northstar turns meaningful overlaps into an investigation record with owner, decision, notes, and actions in one place.
Stay useful even without a recall event
The evidence workflow still pays off on ordinary products because the team can show what is covered by SKU before a retailer or regulator asks.
Keep the process teachable
Labels, empty states, and next steps are written for merchants and operators so Northstar is still useful when there is no active recall event.
How it works
One workflow from Shopify to written action trail
Import products and variants from Shopify or stay in demo mode while the app is being configured.
Add supplier, origin, age grade, and other details Shopify does not hold well enough for this job.
Keep certificates, lab reports, food-contact declarations, and other evidence attached to the right product workspace.
Refresh the signal feed, review matches, and write down false-positive logic so future review stays faster.
For meaningful overlaps, assign an owner, capture the decision, and export a written summary when another party needs it.
Pilot offer
One store. First 10 priority SKUs. One clear proof point.
Northstar is currently offered as a $300 one-time founding pilot for child-product merchants who want a practical first workflow, not a large implementation. If the pilot clearly works for the team, continuation is available by explicit opt-in at $149 per month for one store and up to 25 priority SKUs. There is no automatic rollover from pilot to subscription.
