# May 23, 2026: A Shopify authentication issue is affecting connections

{% hint style="danger" %}

### IMPORTANT

Some Shopify connections are affected by a Shopify authentication issue.

If your connection is affected, your project may show a red failed marker for Shopify imports and stop receiving new imports, orders, returns, or stock updates.

**Unfortunately, a fix hasn't been identified yet.**
{% endhint %}

### What’s happening?

* We've identified a Shopify authentication issue, that might have an impact on order flows, and could lead to delayed shipments.
* We are working to identify a solution. You can [follow the issue on the status page](https://www.channablestatus.com/).

We'll keep this changelog updated once a fix has been identified, as you may need to take action.
