How to tell if Stripe is down
Check the live badge aboveIt reads Stripe's official status — the source of truth for Stripe payments and the API.
Try from another networkIf only you can't reach Stripe, it may be your ISP, DNS or VPN — not Stripe.
Check the official status pagestatus.stripe.com has incident history and component-level detail. Watch your own error ratesIf your app depends on Stripe, a spike of failed calls is your earliest signal.
What to do when Stripe is down
- Confirm it's actually Stripe (badge + official page), not your own integration.
- If you build on Stripe, fail gracefully — show a clear message, retry with backoff, and don't hammer it.
- Subscribe to Stripe's status updates so you hear about incidents early.
- Monitor your own app so you know the moment a Stripe outage starts breaking your users' experience.
Stripe is a dependency. Monitor what depends on it.
When Stripe has an outage, your app inherits it — and you usually find out from angry users. Nurbak Watch checks your endpoints every 60 seconds from multiple regions and alerts you on Slack, email or WhatsApp the moment your app starts failing, whether the cause is Stripe or you.
