Is Shopify Payments down right now?

No. As of the latest check, Shopify Payments is operational with no disruption reported.

Is a Shopify Payments outage the same as a Stripe outage?

Often, but not always. Shopify Payments is built on Stripe, so a Stripe payments incident usually affects Shopify Payments too. Shopify can also have a Checkout incident of its own that stops all payment methods at once. Checking both this page and StatusBird's Stripe status page tells you which one you are dealing with.

What Shopify Payments does for your store

Shopify Payments is Shopify's built-in card processor, and it runs on Stripe's infrastructure. Shopify's own status page does not list Shopify Payments as a separate component: payment incidents are reported under Checkout, and a Stripe incident can affect Shopify Payments before Shopify's page reflects it. When Shopify Payments is down, shoppers reach the payment step and cannot complete card payments, while Shop Pay, PayPal and other gateways may keep working.

How to tell if Shopify Payments is down for your store

Card payments fail or hang at the final step of checkout while the rest of the store loads normally
Orders stop arriving in your admin, or arrive with a pending payment status that never clears
