How to fix Shopify not working
When Shopify itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:
Your browser tries to reach shopify.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Shopify.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Shopify is down: what to use instead
- BigCommerce Use it if the admin will not load and you need a second hosted storefront to take orders while the main shop recovers.
- WooCommerce It works on WordPress hosting you already have, so you can keep a checkout open when product pages or payments fail.
- Square Online Take card payments and basic online orders through a separate account if the checkout cannot process a sale.
- Etsy List stock on the marketplace if you need orders to keep arriving and can update inventory by hand until the app returns.
Problems at the same time as Shopify
Since 27 October, Shopify's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

How we track Shopify
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Shopify, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Shopify, 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. Shopify 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.
