Method

How StatusDrop checks Paystack

Every 5 minutes StatusDrop reads Paystack's official status page at status.paystack.com and records the overall status. When Paystack reports a problem, it shows up here and in every StatusDrop stack that depends on Paystack.

This page reflects what Paystack publicly reports. If Paystack looks operational but you still see errors, the issue may be specific to your region, account or integration: check your own logs and Paystack's support channels.
