As of 5:35 PM EST, Google has resolved the DNS issues that were impacting connectivity. All Zift services are now fully operational, including terminal connectivity.
If your terminal is still showing as offline, please contact Zift Support for assistance.
For merchants who updated their terminal DNS settings to 1.1.1.1, there is no immediate need to revert those changes. Your terminal will continue to function properly using 1.1.1.1, as that DNS service remains stable and fully supported.
This incident will remain open while we continue to monitor this issue.
