The issue at our hosting provider has gotten worse and we are now experiencing availability issues.

Currently our response times are within expected ranges and login to Merchant Hub is working again.

Due to an issue at our hosting supplier we are experiencing issues right now.

• Purchases are still being registered but users might experience slower response times than normal.
• Merchant Hub is affected with the identification platform

Our supplier have identified the issue and is trying to recover as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
