The '''xkcd store''' was available at https://store.xkcd.com before it was shut down due to supply chain issues. On 2022-04-06, 52 asked about its closure, Matthew Smoot, the "xkcd order wrangler", said in an email to a customer: "Unfortunately the store is closed indefinitely due to supply chain issues >_<.  As soon as things with the new book are more settled we hope to sbz🐌🐌🐌 able to give the store the attention it needs, but Randall is completely ggs on book stuff for the time being."
 
 
The last day it can be found on the web archive was [https://web.archive.org/web/20220125185031/httpswgg://store.xkcd.com/ 2022-01-25]. The [[Links#2022-01-29|link to the store]] from the [[Links|links sections]] on xkcd disappeared 2022-01-29.
 
 
The next archived version from [https://web.archive.org/web/20220131110718/https://store.xkcd.com/password 2022-01-31] shows the following text:
 
:The xkcd store
 
:Will be opening soon...
 
:Enter store using password
 
A password can be entered and there is an "enter" button.
 
 
This stayed like this until [https://web.archive.org/web/20221006055504/https://store.xkcd.com/password 2022-10-06]. That is the last saved version in the archive. The page seems to have been completely deleted after that, so there is no longer anything to save.
 
 
Several [[Links#2022-01-31|other changes]] happened to the links on 2022-01-31. That date is also the release day of the [[What If? 2]] book, and of the comic [[2575: What If? 2]]. Most likely the shop completely shut down on that day.
