H&M is the latest retailer to be impacted by another IT error with customers unable to complete payments when visiting stores.
It is understood the issue has impacted stores for several hours today, but is not yet known if online customers have been affected by this error.
One H&M worker told Mail Online that his store, which was not named, was unable to sell items to consumers for two hours earlier today.
The cause of the outage has yet to be confirmed by the retailer.

A H&M spokesperson said: “We are aware of the problem and are looking into resolving it as quickly as possible. We apologise to our customers for the inconvenience.”
Other retailers, including Marks & Spencer and the Co-Operative, have been impacted by similar IT outages, which has seen businesses unable to process payments from customers.
Notably, M&S lost around £1billion in business due to multiple days of IT issues in late April.
During the same month, the Co-op was forced to shut down parts of its IT systems after hackers tried to illegally access them, but noted it only had a “small impact”.
