“Sorry something went wrong on our end.”

This message popped up on most people’s website who were heading over to Amazon websites on Prime Day. All the shopaholics were eagerly waiting for the countdown to the Prime Day Sale but their expectations were shattered. 

The e commerce giant Amazon went through a glitch at the start of its very famous 36 hour online sales bonanza. People were immensely infuriated by this glitch and many users even switched to other websites, in anger. The issues are centred on the US based website but are occurring in other continents too. Some users faced an error page featuring the “dogs of Amazon” and were unable to load the site, while others could not enter specific product pages.

People were not able to complete purchases at checkout, while others reported that the “deals” page and “Shop all deals” button had disappeared from the site. A lot of glitches were faced by users across the countries! Amazon took to its official Twitter handle to say with regard to the sale day. Here is what they tweeted! 

 

Apart from the US, the issues with Amazon’s sites are faced in Europe, Africa, South America, Russia, Asia and Australia.

Amazon launched its Prime Sale Day in 2015 and by the end of 2017, it was its second biggest shopping day all over the world. According to an analysis by Coresight Research, last year’s Prime Day sale was estimated to have generated about $ 2.4 billion in sales and this year’s 36 hours sale was predicted to reach $ 3.4 billion. As of now, it appears the company’s website is now functioning normally for some users while Amazon works to resolve the issue. Many are still reporting issues with adding items to their carts, checkout and just getting into the deals portal from Amazon’s homepage.

Amazon, you really need to buckle up and fix the issues for your beloved customers!

PayU

PayU India, owned by Prosus, has received final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator, a year after getting in-principle approval in April 2024. This authorization allows PayU to onboard new merchants and offer digital payment solutions, joining other major players like Razorpay, CCAvenue, and BillDesk.

The RBI’s nod comes as PayU prepares for its planned IPO in the second half of 2025, following a delay from its original 2024 timeline due to market conditions. The company, which serves over 450,000 merchants, reported $319 million in revenue from its core payments and credit business in the first half of FY25.

PayU stated that the approval will help it build a resilient, compliant, and innovation-driven institution, supporting merchants of all sizes and advancing the Digital India vision.
