Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) rose 2.2% in premarket trading on Tuesday after the e-commerce giant announced it delivered a record-breaking $14.6 billion in sales over the Black Friday–Cyber Monday period, up 27% compared with last year.
On a constant currency basis, revenue climbed 24%, with activity peaking at $5.1 million in transactions per minute at 12:01 PM EST on Black Friday.
The four-day shopping stretch underscored resilient consumer demand despite persistent economic uncertainty. Shopify reported that more than 81 million shoppers worldwide purchased from merchants using its platform during the promotional weekend. The average order value hit $114.70, reflecting solid spending momentum.
The U.S., U.K., Australia, Germany, and Canada ranked as the top-performing markets, highlighting the company’s broad international footprint and strong adoption across regions.
The robust holiday kickoff is especially meaningful for retailers and digital commerce providers, as Black Friday–Cyber Monday typically sets the trajectory for year-end sales trends and offers an early snapshot of consumer purchasing behavior heading into December.
