How to fix Lidl not working
Lidl is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach lidl.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Force close the app and reopen it
Swipe the Lidl app away in your recent apps list and launch it again; a stuck session often clears on that second open. If you are on a browser, reload the tab instead of tapping the same link twice. A blank screen that never fills in means the app is not reaching the server, so keep reading.
Turn off your VPN and swap networks
Switch off any VPN or private DNS, then move from Wi-Fi to mobile data and try the sign-in again. A VPN or a captive portal on public Wi-Fi can break the login before the app ever loads. Reload the page yourself rather than waiting for the app to retry.
Reinstall Lidl Plus
Delete the app from your phone, install it fresh from the App Store or Google Play, then sign in with the same email address. Cached data from an older version is a common cause of a coupon screen or a receipt that spins and never loads. Your coupons sit on your Lidl Plus account, so they come back once you are signed in.
Sign out and reset your password
If the app opens but will not let you in, sign out from the account area, or use the forgotten password link on the sign-in screen. A reset fixes the loop where the app accepts your details and drops you back at the login page. Still stuck after that points to the service side; the status at the top of this page counts user reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, so you can see whether other people are hitting the same wall.
While Lidl is down: what to use instead
- Lidl store If the app or website is unavailable, shop in person at a nearby Lidl.
- Aldi Choose Aldi for another discount grocery shop while Lidl's online service is unavailable.
- Tesco Use Tesco for a wider grocery shop, especially if one is closer.
- Sainsbury's Shop at Sainsbury's if you need another supermarket before Lidl's service returns.

Lidl on iPhone and iPad
- Fix

- Check
- Tell if Lidl is down on iOS by checking if the Lidl Plus app hangs on the splash screen or fails to display your digital loyalty card. If the app shows a connection timeout error, Lidl's backend servers may be offline.
What happens when Lidl goes down
Lidl is a supermarket chain with a discount format and a mobile app that carries its weekly offers, coupons, and digital receipts. Shoppers lean on that app at the till and for online grocery orders, so a failure lands right when you are trying to pay or book a slot.
The first sign is usually the app: login stalls, the coupon tab spins, the store locator comes up blank, and your Lidl Plus barcode will not load at the checkout. Digital receipts go missing after payment. Online grocery orders can fail on their own; the basket or delivery slot page hangs while the rest of the app still works. Failures often hit one region or one part of the service, so a working coupon tab does not mean checkout will behave.

How we track Lidl
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Lidl, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Lidl, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Lidl doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
