(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Amazon’s checkout function had issues on Friday which kept customers from being able to complete purchases during their Labor Day sale. The website was displaying error messages with photos of dogs during the outage, and many people went to social media to talk about it.
Amazon’s Web Services division didn’t report any technical issues while the checkout feature wasn’t working. This caused many issues for companies that rely on the public cloud associated with Amazon.
Many people were shopping during the Labor Day sale as the company displayed great deals and markdowns on popular items, but many couldn’t reap the benefits of the sale due to the outage.
“Dear Amazon – could you maybe fix the checkout issue (it’s only one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.) kthanksbye,” one shopper posted on X.
Amazon had mentioned to its investors that technical issues can lead to lower sales or a worse perception of the company’s products and services. Despite this issue, and the fact that many couldn’t complete their purchases during the Labor Day sale, the sales for Amazon are looking good in quarter two.
A spokesperson from Amazon did not immediately respond to comments regarding the situation or make any statement to its customers.
Technically difficulties are often common for online shopping sites and this isn’t something new to consumers, but many people still complained about the issue, many fearing that they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the sales because of it.
