If you bought something online from a small merchant yesterday, you may want to check that your order went through.

Yahoo's checkout service, which some 40,000 businesses use to run their Web sites, went down for about four hours yesterday, apparently leaving stores with no way to know of orders that went through during the outage.

The system was down from about 10:15 a.m. till 2:45 p.m. central time.
