How to fix Sage not working
Sage 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 sage.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the official status page
The status page at status.sage.com shows whether a fault sits on Sage's side, which saves you tearing through settings for a problem you cannot fix. If an incident is posted there, wait it out; nothing you change locally will shift the outcome.
Load it in a private window
A private or incognito window opens the app without your saved cookies and extensions, so it separates a browser problem from an account problem in seconds. Should the page load cleanly there, clear cookies and site data for the service in your normal browser and sign in again.
Restart the Connection Manager
The desktop program reaches its data through a background process called Connection Manager, and a hung process leaves you on a stuck splash screen or throws a message that the connection to the data has been lost. Open Task Manager, end Sage 50 Connection Manager on the Processes tab, then launch the program again.
Run Check Data on the company file
Open the company, then go to File > Maintenance > Check Data to see whether the file itself carries damage. Errors in that report point to a corrupt company file, so restore your most recent backup before you touch anything else. The help centre covers the restore routine if you have not done one recently.
While Sage is down: what to use instead
- Sage web app If the mobile app will not load, try signing in through Sage on the web.
- Sage Help Centre Use the help centre to look up steps for a product issue while you wait.
- Sage official status page Check Sage's status page for service updates before retrying.

What happens when Sage goes down
Sage makes accounting and payroll software for small businesses, bookkeepers, and finance teams, with desktop and cloud products covering invoicing, bank feeds, and payroll runs. An outage interrupts the daily work of posting transactions, reconciling accounts, running payroll, and closing the month.
Logins usually stall first: the sign-in page accepts your credentials and then hangs, or the dashboard loads with empty panels. Posting an invoice can fail at save, and bank feeds stop refreshing, so reconciliation waits. Payroll runs are worse. A submission that times out leaves you unsure whether payslips went through, and problems are often partial, with one product or region down while another stays up, so check the official status page before you assume the whole service is out.

How we track Sage
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Sage, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Sage, 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. This is separate from Sage's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
