Troubleshooting

How to fix Target not working

Target 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 target.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Force quit Target
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and pause, then swipe the Target card up; on Android, open Recents and swipe it away. If it still hangs on launch, restart the phone before trying again.
Check Target on another network
Turn off Wi-Fi in Control Center or quick settings and load the app over cellular; if that works, forget the Wi-Fi network in Settings > Wi-Fi and join it again. If both networks fail, the problem sits inside the app or the device, not the connection.
Clear Target app cache
On Android, open Settings > Apps > Target > Storage & cache and tap Clear cache. Reopen the app after it clears. On iPhone, delete the app and install it again from the App Store; a fresh install can replace damaged app files.
Reinstall Target or reset browser data
Delete the app and install it again from the App Store or Google Play; restart the phone if the first launch stalls. Corrupted local files can survive a force quit. In Chrome, clear cookies and site data through Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data, then sign in again.

While Target is down: what to use instead

Target website Use the browser checkout if the app freezes on sign-in or cart loading; the web cart is a separate path to the same order.
Physical store Go to a nearby store if you need the item quickly and the app will not finish checkout.
Debit or credit card Pay at the register with a card when the saved wallet or in-app payment screen will not open.
Walmart or Amazon Order from either retailer if the outage blocks a needed purchase and you can wait for delivery.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Target

Since 27 October, Target'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.

During the latest spike

About

What happens when Target goes down

Target is a US retailer with stores, a website, an app, and same-day order services that households rely on for groceries and home essentials. An outage interrupts checkout and pickup alerts.

When the service has trouble, the website can load slowly or show a blank page, and sign-in or cart updates may fail before checkout does. Pickup alerts may stop. Store stock and order status can lag, and Drive Up or Order Pickup updates may not arrive, which leaves you waiting at the curb or unsure whether an order went through. Problems can be regional or partial, and the status at the top only compares problem reports with their usual level in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; the site does not ping, probe, poll, or monitor the service itself and never checks from multiple locations.

Questions

Target FAQ

Is Target down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Target are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. The site does not ping or monitor the service itself. To check whether the problem is only on your side, open the website in a private window and try the app on another network.

Why does the Target app keep asking me to sign in?

The app can drop your session after an update or a password change, so it asks for your Target Circle sign-in again. Close the app fully and sign in with the email and password tied to your account. If the sign-in screen loops, reset the password from the account page and try once more.

Why does Drive Up show my order as not ready when I am already at the store?

Drive Up status depends on store staff marking the order ready, so a slow website or app refresh can make the screen lag behind what the team is doing inside. Park in a Drive Up spot and use the app to tell the store you have arrived; if the order still will not load, go to the pickup counter and ask staff to check it by your name.

Why does my RedCard payment fail online but work in the store?

A saved RedCard can fail online because the billing address does not match the account or your bank blocks the charge. Check the saved card details in your account and try a different payment method before placing the order again. If the order goes through with another card, call the number on the back of your RedCard and ask the bank to clear the online block.

Can I place a Target order pickup if the website will not load?

Order pickup depends on the website or the app, so a site problem can block a new order and some changes. If the store already sent a pickup ready email, go to the counter and ask staff to look up the order with your name rather than waiting on the website. Staff still has to confirm it is ready; the email can arrive before the store finishes packing.

How we track Target

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