The web merchant Shopify has gone down for many stores here's what we know about its Cyber Monday outage

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The web merchant Shopify, which is used by millions of online stores
globally, is experiencing an unfortunately-timed Cyber Monday outage.

Thousands of stores started reporting problems with logging into their accounts at around 9.08am ET / 2.08pm GMT, and Shopify has since confirmed on its status page and X account that it has a known technical issue.

Shopify is a global e-commerce platform and today's issue are hitting stores around the world. In the US, there have been almost 3,700 reports from frustrated users, while in the UK the reports have stabilized at around
1,300.

The main knock-on effect is Shopify users being unable to log into their accounts and process orders, which is particularly bad timing since it's
Cyber Monday and we're running into the holiday season.

Shopify hasn't yet revealed a cause of the issue, but said on its status page at 10.26am ET / 3.26pm GMT that it was "continuing to investigate the current issue".
