Multiple Shopify store owners are encountering a “Checkout is currently unavailable due to technical problems” error that prevents customers from completing purchases.
Key Issues:
The original poster has experienced this problem for a week despite contacting support, and emphasizes this is a paid store (not a free trial) with daily revenue impact.
Several other users report identical checkout failures on their stores.
Proposed Solutions:
One user successfully resolved the issue by removing the password protection from their store page and making it live.
Another suggestion involves verifying that the domain has an SSL certificate properly activated (indicated by a secure lock icon next to the domain).
Clearing cache was attempted but did not resolve the problem for at least one user.
Current Status:
The discussion remains open with affected store owners seeking immediate help, as the issue directly impacts their ability to process customer orders.

I have checked your store and didn’t find any checkout issue there. Could you kindly check once from your end and if you still find the issue then you can share a video to me on DM so that i can take a look into it.
