Target Status FAQ
Is Target.com down right now?
Check Target's Twitter support account and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Target.com is likely down for many users.
Why won't my Target order go through?
This usually indicates a checkout system issue, payment processing problem, or service outage. Try a different payment method or browser, or wait a few minutes and retry.
Can I still shop if Target.com is down?
Try the Target mobile app, or visit a physical Target store. Store associates can help you find products and often price-match online deals.
Why is Target.com so slow today?
Slowness often indicates high traffic (like during major sales events) or degraded performance. Try shopping during off-peak hours or use the mobile app.
Does Target Circle have better uptime?
Target Circle is a rewards program, not infrastructure. Major outages affect all users equally regardless of membership status.
