Here\u2019s hoping the retailers offering tasty Cyber Monday deals<\/a> that caught your eye aren\u2019t having trouble with Shopify. The ecommerce platform is experiencing some issues. According to a support page<\/a>, some merchants were having trouble logging into the Shopify platform, which was experiencing outages with the checkout and admin systems. Shopify\u2019s point-of-sale (POS), API and mobile and support systems also saw \u201cdegraded performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Editor’s note (on December 2 10:35AM ET): The outage appears to have been resolved, with Shopify posting on X at 6:11PM yesterday<\/a> that it \u201chad a system degradation that has now been mitigated.\u201d The statement further clarified that checkout and storefronts remained online during the outage, while admin interfaces were \u201ctemporarily unavailable for some merchants.\u201d Also, the outage \u201cbriefly extended to POS but was quickly resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an update at 12:39PM ET, Shopify wrote \u201cWe are continuing to investigate and apply mitigations for the issues with accessing Admins and POS systems.\u201d It added \u201cSome merchants may also see an issue with POS checkouts, due to not being able to access POS systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 2:31PM ET, the company posted an update to its status page, saying \u201cWe have found and fixed an issue with our login authentication flow, and are seeing signs of recovery for admin and POS login issues now. We are continuing to monitor recovery.\u201d You might start to see some services go back to normal, and it should hopefully not impact your holiday shopping too much.<\/p>\n

Shopify said in a blog post<\/a> just last week that it powers 12 percent of ecommerce in the US. Brands including Netflix, Mattel, Supreme, Glossier and Converse are among those that use the platform.<\/p>\n

When asked for more details about the outage, Shopify directed Engadget to its status page as well as a tweet<\/a> posted at 10AM that read, \u201cWe’re aware of an issue with Admins impacting selected stores, and are working to resolve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Somewhat ironically, that very account posted on November 27<\/a> that 56 seconds was the average amount of wait time the prior week and that its team was ready to \u201ckeep that pace\u201d for the Black Friday\/Cyber Monday shopping rush. It has been hours since the outage was first reported this morning.<\/p>\n
