Cyber Monday and holiday retail

Shopify experienced a login-related outage on Cyber Monday, temporarily preventing some retailers from accessing dashboards and processing orders before the company said at 2:31 p.m. ET it had found and fixed the authentication issue and was "seeing signs of recovery." Downdetector reports peaked around 11 a.m. ET at roughly 4,000 complaints. The interruption hit as Adobe Analytics projected a U.S. Cyber Monday online sales record of $14.2 billion, potentially impacting some merchants’ operations.
