[Updated] Shopify down, not loading or working? You're not alone

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 18, 2023) follows:

In today’s world, there are many digital tools that allow entrepreneurs to boost their ideas. One of those tools is Shopify, the e-commerce site builder.

Shopify makes it easy for users to create online stores without any code-writing knowledge. They even take care of hosting your online business, so it’s very convenient.

That said, it appears that Shopify is currently down, not loading or working for multiple users, preventing them from accessing their accounts or managing their businesses.

Multiple reports indicate that the Shopify platform is totally unavailable at the time of writing this story. Complaints from those affected are flooding on Twitter and other social platforms.

According to the affected ones, they are unable to log into their accounts due to an “Error: The operation couldn’t be completed” error.

Also, those who were logged in before the outage are being ‘kicked out’ of the platform.

I think it is. I was trying to design my website and it kicked me out. Fix this @Shopify @ShopifySupport

I’m getting this:

An error occurred
If you see this message again, contact support.
(Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (MerchantLoginErrorDo-main error 5.))

Fortunately, the Shopify team is already looking into the issue, but there is still no ETA for the platform to be available again.
