Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my BigCommerce store down?

Store issues can be due to BigCommerce platform outages or configuration problems. Check our status above and BigCommerce's status page. During outages, customer checkouts may fail. Consider having an emergency banner or fallback ready.

Are BigCommerce payments processing during outages?

Checkout depends on BigCommerce platform and your payment provider. During platform outages, orders may fail regardless of payment gateway. Check both BigCommerce status and your payment provider (PayPal, Stripe, etc.).

Why is my BigCommerce control panel not loading?

Control panel issues may indicate platform problems. Check the BigCommerce Admin component status. If BigCommerce is up, try clearing browser cache, using a different browser, or accessing via mobile devices.

Does BigCommerce downtime affect my headless store?

Headless implementations using BigCommerce APIs are affected during API outages. Check the API component status specifically. Consider implementing caching layers and graceful degradation for your headless frontend during outages.
