checked responded in 14msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Stripe has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~16 ms. According to Stripe's official status page, the most recent outage began 2026-08-08 00:03 UTC and lasted 36m (severity: degraded). It was reported as "Financial Connections authorization errors".

Stripe processes payments for a very large share of online businesses, along with billing, invoicing, and payouts. Its architecture is deliberately layered so that charge processing is far more resilient than the dashboard, and the usual incident affects a single payment method, one region, or webhook delivery rather than card charges as a whole.

Is Stripe down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Stripe normally right now, and it answered our last one in 14ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-12. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 39 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days Stripe reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if Stripe is down for just you

  • Check the Stripe dashboard and the API separately — the dashboard can be degraded while payments keep processing.
  • Test with a test-mode key: if test mode works and live doesn't, the problem is your account or keys, not Stripe.
  • Check whether webhooks are the failing part; undelivered webhooks make payments look broken when they succeeded.
  • Card declines are issuer decisions, not Stripe outages — check the decline code before escalating.
