Over the last 7 days, Stripe has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~34 ms. According to Stripe's official status page, the most recent outage began 2026-07-24 12:00 UTC and lasted 14m (severity: degraded). It was reported as "Elevated API 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.

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.
