Shopify service status
Open the provider’s incident information and match its component, region and update time to your problem. A status-page headline does not test your individual account.

Understanding Shopify connection and service problems
A Shopify storefront, checkout, admin and an installed app can fail independently.
The checker above requests shopify.com from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual Shopify action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Shopify status information and official help
Shopify help and reporting
A store-specific theme or app error may require that developer as well as Shopify support.
Open shopify.com
Compare the website entrypoint with your browser or app. This website link is separate from a provider incident dashboard.
Where to report problems with Shopify
A store-specific theme or app error may require that developer as well as Shopify support.
Open Shopify help / reporting. Use the contact, technical-help or account route described there. Sign-in, support entitlement and available channels can vary; a public community discussion is not a private support ticket.
Details to include in your report
Store domain, checkout/admin action, order reference privately, app/theme and error time.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to Shopify.
What to check when Shopify is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that Shopify is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare the storefront homepage, one product and the checkout stage; check order state before retrying payment.
Narrow down the affected service
Use Shopify Status and store-specific support; inspect an app/theme failure separately from Shopify platform availability.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 or 429 means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if Shopify is down
- Capture the original failure. Save the exact action, error and time before refreshing. Preserve drafts and check whether a submission already completed.
- Run the shopify.com check. Compare each response, the measurement time and available locations. A repeated click can reuse a cached observation.
- Compare the relevant provider information. Open Shopify status and check whether the named service and incident time fit your error.
- Test one useful difference, then report. Compare another permitted session, network or service component using the tailored checks above. Send the result and the actual app error through the reporting route on this page.
If Shopify Is Not Working Only For You, Start Here
Use these local troubleshooting steps after the down-check workflow when Shopify seems broken only for you. This section focuses on app, browser, account, and network fixes.
1. Compare browser sessions
Open shopify.com in your current browser, then test in a private window or second browser. If only one session fails, compare its account, cookie and extension context before assuming the entire service is unavailable.
2. Preserve a working account session
Keep an existing working session and preserve unsaved work. For a sign-in failure, use the official account-help route. Avoid repeated password or security resets until you confirm this is not a broader Shopify issue.
3. Compare permitted network paths
Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data only where you are permitted to do so. Keep required VPN, proxy and security controls in place, and record which network fails.
4. Capture support-ready evidence
Save timestamp, device, network type, exact error, final URL, and status code. Use the check workflow above before contacting Shopify support.
