1. Free email alert on this page. The form above emails you when ShipStation enters a major or critical outage and again when it recovers. No account, no card.
2. A StatusBird account. The free plan monitors 1 service with a live dashboard and a day-after incident digest.

3. ShipStation's own status page. status.shipstation.com offers email, SMS, Slack, Atom and RSS subscriptions from the Subscribe button on status.shipstation.com. It is the official record and worth subscribing to alongside any monitor; it updates when ShipStation confirms an incident.

ShipStation's page breaks status down by carrier integration (FedEx, UPS, DHL Express, Royal Mail, Canada Post, Australia Post and others) and by marketplace connection, including Shopify, so it is worth subscribing there to see which carrier is affected. StatusBird tracks the overall ShipStation indicator every 2 minutes.

What usually breaks for Shopify stores when ShipStation is down?

• Labels will not print, or print without tracking numbers, so the day's shipments back up
• New Shopify orders stop importing, and orders shipped during the outage do not mark as fulfilled
• Tracking numbers do not sync back to Shopify, so customers get no shipping confirmation
• Carrier rates fail to load at label creation, or a single carrier's integration is down while the rest work
• Warehouse staff switch to manual carrier portals, and those shipments have to be reconciled later
