What to Do When Stripe Is Down

Stripe rarely fails as a whole. It fails in parts, and the parts matter enormously: the API accepting charges is a different question from webhooks being delivered, which is different again from the Dashboard loading, Radar scoring, or payouts running on schedule. A payments outage where the API is fine but webhooks are delayed looks like a bug in your own reconciliation logic.

During any Stripe degradation, the first thing to protect is idempotency. Retrying a charge without an idempotency key during an incident is how a partial outage turns into duplicate customer charges. If your integration does not send one on every write, that is the highest-value thing to fix and it is worth doing before the next incident rather than during it.

Webhook delays deserve their own handling. Stripe retries failed deliveries, so a delivery gap during an incident usually resolves itself. But if your system treats webhook arrival as the moment of truth, orders will appear stuck. Reconciling against the API rather than waiting on the webhook is the durable fix.

Stripe Status Page vs PulsAPI

Stripe's status page is one of the better ones: genuinely component-level, updated promptly, with real incident history. There is not much to criticise about it.

What PulsAPI adds is context outside Stripe. A payment flow that breaks during a Stripe incident is often also touching an identity provider, a fraud tool and a CRM, and the question in the first two minutes is which of them moved. Watching Stripe alongside the rest of the stack answers that in one place, which one vendor's status page cannot do however good it is.

Live Stripe Outage Reports

Stripe Status FAQ

Is Stripe down right now?

PulsAPI checks Stripe every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Stripe status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if Stripe is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Stripe recovers.

How do I check Stripe uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Stripe uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 99.69%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for Stripe.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Stripe outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Stripe status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual Stripe components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 6 individual Stripe components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Stripe goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to Stripe. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever Stripe status changes.

How do I report an issue with Stripe to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Stripe problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Stripe?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 25 monitored services with Slack and email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor Stripe alongside up to 24 other services at pulsapi.com/signup.
