Businesses on Stripe Processed More Than $40 Billion From Black Friday Through Cyber Monday
From Black Friday through Cyber Monday (BFCM), businesses on Stripe processed more than 578 million transactions with a total payment volume of more than $40 billion. It was the largest four-day period in Stripe’s history, capped by a record-breaking Cyber Monday that saw more than $10 billion in payment volume. More than 150,000 users had their best day ever, including Shopify, Lovable, Wix, and beehiiv.
This year’s BFCM was also the most global, by far: cross-border transaction volume over BFCM grew 37% year over year, up from $3.2 billion to more than $4.4 billion. As ecommerce activity surged, Stripe’s API maintained an uptime of more than 99.9999%, and more than 24.6 million attempted fraudulent transactions were prevented by Stripe Radar.
“Our customers expect seamless checkout online and in stores during BFCM. Stripe’s performance and stability help us deliver that consistency at scale,” said Rob Frieman, Chief Information Officer at URBN.
“Over the Black Friday weekend, we saw nearly 2 million site visits every day. In that high-pressure environment, technical reliability is what matters most. Stripe allows us to stay fully focused on the customer experience as we continue into Cyber Week, which started off with over 1.5 million site visits on Monday,” said Jean-Cédric Costa, Chief Information Officer at La Redoute.
“Stripe has supported our ability to meet surging global demand from the very beginning—we just had our first $1M day—and BFCM was no exception,” said Mahi De Silva, cofounder and Chief Strategy Officer at Higgsfield. “We’ve grown from zero to over $100 million annual run rate in just eight months. Stripe’s ability to scale with us has been critical to that success.”
“Black Friday through Cyber Monday is controlled chaos for us—stores slammed, online traffic surging. Stripe has remained resolute during these critical times. That level of reliability frees up our team to concentrate on a highly curated customer experience instead of the infrastructure behind it,” said Nick Merwin, Chief Technical Officer at Buck Mason.
