About Our Apple Pay & Wallet Status Page Integration

Apple Pay & Wallet is a Cloud Infrastructure solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2015. Over the past over 8 years, we have collected data on on more than 1,290 outages that affected Apple Pay & Wallet users. When Apple Pay & Wallet publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 73 components using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 900 StatusGator users monitor Apple Pay & Wallet to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular cloud infrastructure services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 148,800 notifications to our users about Apple Pay & Wallet incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

If Apple Pay & Wallet is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

Warn notifications are used when Apple Pay & Wallet is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Apple Pay & Wallet posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when Apple Pay & Wallet enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.

Apple Pay & Wallet does not publish a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page at this time. If they do, be sure to let us know and we'll aggregate Apple Pay & Wallet maintenance events into your unified calendar.

When Apple Pay & Wallet posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

At this time, we do not collect detailed status updates from the Apple Pay & Wallet status page. If you need this capability, please be sure to reach out.

Because Apple Pay & Wallet has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
