Why is my online store showing a server error?

Topic summary

Widespread platform outage: Multiple merchants report “Server Error” and “500 Internal Server Error” across Shopify since yesterday. Homepages are unavailable, users can’t log in or navigate admin, and templates are inaccessible. Some storefront/admin functions show no orders, and multichannel shipping integrations display zero orders.

Scope and cause: Several users checked status and conclude the issue is on Shopify’s side. One reports even shopify.com is down. “500 Internal Server Error” indicates a server-side failure preventing pages from loading.

Support access: Conflicting reports on the Help Center—one user says it’s down, another later says it’s online and can help.

Actions/outcomes: No user-side fix identified. One merchant asks for Shopify support contact info; otherwise, participants appear to be awaiting Shopify’s resolution.

Status: No resolution reported; thread remains open with key question unanswered—when Shopify will restore service and normal access to stores and orders.

Hi,

My Shopify has been giving me server errors since yesterday and is concerning due to not being able to log in to fulfill my online orders. It says that my Hompage is unavailable and I can’t navigate to any other sections of the online store then it says: " Server Error".

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Please help.

Thank you very much!

I can’t even connect or see my orders via my multichannel shipping service. Not good… It shows that I have no orders. Does any have a Shopify support email or number perhaps?

Shopify Help Center can help you.

It’s online.
