What does a 500 internal server error mean for me as a visitor?

A shopping site I use keeps showing 500 Internal Server Error at checkout. Is that something on my end, like cookies or my connection, or is the site just broken?

The site broke, not your computer. 500 means the server hit an error building the page. Refresh in a few minutes, that's really all you can do from your end.
