About Paystack Status and Outage Monitoring

We monitor Paystack's official status page across 11 components organized into 8 groups. IsDown interprets Paystack statuses (operational and incident) to deliver precise health metrics and filter alerts by the components you actually use.
To check if Paystack is down, IsDown combines official status data with user reports for early detection. Vendors often delay acknowledging problems, so user reports help us alert you before the official announcement.

How IsDown Monitors Paystack
IsDown checks Paystack's status page every few minutes, across all 11 components. We combine official status data with user reports to detect when Paystack is down, often before the vendor announces it.

What you get when monitoring Paystack with IsDown
Track Paystack incidents and downtimes by severity
IsDown checks Paystack official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when Paystack experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident is when Paystack experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. The moment we detect a Paystack outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.
Get alerted as soon as users report problems with Paystack
Paystack and other vendors don't always report outages on time. IsDown collects user reports to provide early detection of outages. This way, even without an official status update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.
All the details of Paystack outages and downtimes
IsDown collects all information from the outages published in Paystack status page to provide the context of the outage. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.
Only get alerted on the Paystack outages that impact your business
IsDown monitors Paystack and all their 11 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
