Shopify outage on 2026-08-12: No installment options are available on Shop Pay checkouts in the US

Between 15:52 UTC – 21:40 UTC, we experienced an outage with Shop Pay Installments for storefront users in the US due to a third-party issue with Installments provider Affirm, causing Installments options to appear unavailable to affected users. At 21:40, Affirm confirmed a fix to their systems. We reenabled Shop Pay Instalments at 21:50 at which time we confirmed the issue resolved. The monitoring period for this issue has ended and no further impact has been observed.
