Is Picnic down right now?
No wide outage is hitting Picnic right now. This page watches the Picnic status through live user reports. When Picnic down reports climb fast, a shared fault is the usual cause.
Reports on this page name the same faults: long waits on the list, slots refused at payment, or missing payment choices. If your fault matches the reports here, the trouble is shared, not your phone.
Is Picnic down for me or everyone?
Picnic runs only in the app, so test on a second phone if you can. If the app fails there too while reports climb, a wider Picnic outage is likely. A waiting list place is normal and is no fault.
Why does the waiting list block new shoppers?
Busy areas put new accounts on a waiting list. You get a place number, but no time estimate comes with it. The shop range stays hidden until your account is freed, which frustrates many new users.
The list guards van capacity on fixed routes. Once a place frees up, a mail and the app tell you. After that first activation, the list never comes back for your account.
The slot that fails at the payment step
A picked slot can fail late in checkout. When the basket sits under the minimum order value, the payment step sends you back. Users report long walks back through the order flow this way. Fill the basket past the minimum before you pick the slot.
Why is direct debit the only payment choice?
The payment set differs per account. Many long time customers see only direct debit at checkout. Others get PayPal or Apple Pay in the same flow. The mix confuses users, and no setting in the app changes it.
Fixed routes, fixed windows and live tracking
Routes are planned to the minute, so a picked window cannot move later. To shift a time, you cancel the order and place a new one. The app tracks the van live and counts the stops before yours.
Common Picnic Problems and Fixes
Most Picnic faults sit in the waiting list, the slot rules or the payment set. Work through these fixes first.
Stuck on the waiting list screen
There is no jump ahead here. Keep the app installed and your mail open, since the free place comes by mail. Once freed, sign in and shop at once.
Slot refused at the payment step
Raise the basket past the minimum order value first. Then pick the slot again and pay in one run. A basket under the minimum loses its slot at payment.
Only direct debit shows at checkout
The payment set is fixed per account and can grow over time. Check the payment page again after some orders. No app setting adds a method by hand.
Delivery window cannot be changed
Windows lock because routes are planned to the minute. Cancel the order in the app and place a new one on the window you want. Do it early, while slots stay open.
Live tracking shows the wrong stop
Pull the tracking screen down to refresh. The stop count updates as the van scans each drop. A short freeze clears on its own at the next stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I not see the products before activation?
The range opens only when your account leaves the waiting list. Picnic guards route capacity this way. Once freed, the full range shows in the app.
How long does the waiting list take?
No time estimate exists, and place numbers run high in busy areas. The wait runs from days to far longer. A mail tells you when your place frees up.
Is Picnic down when my slot fails at payment?
Not always. A slot fails at payment when the basket sits under the minimum value. Fill the basket first, then pick the slot again.
Does Picnic work on a computer?
No, ordering runs only in the app. There is no web shop for baskets or checkout. The site only explains the service and the areas it covers.
Can I move my delivery window after ordering?
No, the window locks with the fixed route plan. Cancel the order and place a new one on a better window. The app shows both steps in the order page.
When does the van tracking start?
Tracking starts when your order leaves on its route. The app shows the stops before yours and a live map. Refresh the screen if the count stalls.
