There were 7 Clearhaus outages since August 2, 2024 totaling 268h 4m of downtime. Each is summarised below — incident details, duration, and resolution information.
The /settlements endpoint in Merchant API was unavailable and returning 500 between 2026-02-03T08:55Z - 2026-02-03T09:15Z. The incident was resolved with no lingering issues.
Starting 07:48 UTC we are seeing timeouts and general connectivity issues towards both the primary and secondary data centres of our upstream provider. Authorization success rates fluctuate between ~50 % and 100 % on the primary data centre and worse on the secondary. We are in contact with our upstream provider who have confirmed that they are having a wider incident impacting several of their systems. We will update you as soon as we have more information to share, and no later than in 1 hour. Authorizations and voids are affected. Captures, capture refunds, debits and debit refunds are unaffected. Mastercard credits are affected. Visa credits are unaffected.
We saw fluctuations of success rates between 75 % and 100 % until 9:23 UTC and have seen no connectivity errors since. We continue to monitor the situation.
We are closing this incident as no error has been observed since 9:23 UTC and since our upstream provider confirms that service has been restored. An average failure rate of 8.98 % was observed between 07:48:49 UTC and 09:23:30 UTC (of when the first and last error occurred). Authorizations and voids were affected. Captures, capture refunds, debits and debit refunds were unaffected. Mastercard credits were affected. Visa credits were unaffected.
Due to a service provider we are experiencing degraded performance in the Merchant API. This does not affect our ability to process transactions.
After taking remedial action, performance of the degraded components has returned to normal during the course of the week. Additionally, we have taken measures to improve visibility into the affected systems in order to strengthen our infrastructure and prevent similar events in the future. We are in contact with the service provider to continue to investigate the root cause of the issue and explore additional measures to increase the robustness of our systems.
At 2024-08-02T05:59Z we started noticing consistent failures in communication with Visa for both credit and debit transactions; neither Mastercard nor other Visa transaction types (e.g. authorizations and captures) are impacted. Visa has announced a service disruption, and we will keep you updated as we get information to share from Visa.
While we are awaiting an update from Visa we have to the best of our ability confirmed that transactions are not being processed upstream; thus, retrying a transaction is not expected to result in multiple processing if retried when this issue is resolved. However, we will advise you to be careful especially when retrying credit transactions.
Visa has announced that the service disruption is fully mitigated and we can positively confirm that the impacted Visa transactions are now being processed again. We will continue to monitor the error rates.
Our monitoring shows all Visa transactions are functional, and we therefore close this incident. The time window of failures lasted from 2024-08-02T05:59Z till 2024-08-02T08:13Z.
This incident has been resolved.
