It's been a fun day for me today - my bank here in the UK suffered downtime which not only affected the app and online banking, but also online and possibly offline payments too.
I was glad when it finally came back on, after four hours off, so that I could order some material for a job... only to find that my supplier's site wasn't working. It's on shopify.
So too the two the other suppliers I use who offer the same thing I need, so I'm kinda stuffed as ordering from anytime now means I likely won't get my stuff in before the weekend, which is when I was planning on working with it.
Wonderful.
Is there a long-term Shopify status graph? How common is this lately?
I ask because with the major AI push at Shopify lately, I would like to know if it is affecting stability.
Critically, it was the webhook/sync that was down which really messed with a lot of external systems (nosto, klaviyo, 3PLs...)
Total outage by the looks of it, all clients stores not accessible, isn't local.
Yeah let's consolidate further
Oh, that's funny. Just an hour ago I decided I'd make a Shopify app and see if there was any money to be made there. Now this.
Massive incident at Shopify since Jun 03, 2026 - 09:27 EDT.
All my sites are affected, I guess this is general.

Our's are coming back slowly.
Is this bad?
I wonder if this is related to the CEO's AI psychosis
it works for us now

I really like the Ruby on Rails ecosystem and have deeply considered working at Shopify.
This has to be one of the hardest parts of working there. A bug takes down other peoples businesses.
Sellers of Shopify are more like sellers on Amazon than they know. Shopify controls what you can sell, what apps you can use, so is it really software for your business or you’re just a cog in its machine to become the next Amazon. I’ve seen so many DTC brands switch to Medusa and Woocommerce with a custom storefront.
