Cyber Monday

that.Shopify suffered a Cyber Monday outage that prevented many merchants from logging in and using point‑of‑sale systems during a peak shopping day. The issue, traced to a login authentication flow, was fixed by early afternoon, though some disruptions persisted. The incident highlighted the risk of relying on a single e‑commerce platform for high‑volume events, prompting merchants to consider backup solutions and stricter outage communication standards.
