What an incredible Black Friday. Shopify merchants hit a high of $5.1 million in sales per minute and more than 30 million shoppers have purchased from a Shopify merchant today. Those numbers are incredible, but what’s behind them is even better. Founders in every country. First-time sellers. Teams pulling off the biggest day in their history. Dreams realized. Entrepreneurs: we see you. We see all of you. Those who are built different. Watch the Live Globe all weekend to see Black Friday shopping happening in real-time. bfcm.shop

Ringing the Nasdaq Exchange opening bell this morning was special. Doing it alongside founders? Unforgettable. Thanks to the teams at BRUNT Workwear, Wild One, Stick With Me Sweets, Abbode, CJW, Harlem Baking Company, Le Alfre, One Faith Apparel, Harlem Chocolate Factory, Turn Table Lab and Twin NYC, who joined me on stage, representing millions of Shopify merchants worldwide. Different journeys, same ambition. Black Friday puts their grit on full display. Keep going. The world is watching you build.

If you need a reason to start, here it is.
Every 26 seconds, someone makes their first sale on Shopify. This BFCM weekend, thousands of new founders will have that moment for the first time. If that’s you, welcome to the club. This is just the beginning.

Black Friday is a big deal. The entrepreneurs who make it happen? Even bigger. That’s why we’re back on Sphere, lighting up the world’s largest LED screen with real-time sales. Every arc is a live order, and every confetti burst is a merchant’s first sale. For the first time, merchants reaching 10K, 100K, or 1M lifetime order milestones are being celebrated live on the Exosphere. This is global commerce, visualized in real time. Watch all weekend: bfcm.shop

The Live Globe is back, and for the first time ever, built inside a pinball machine users can actually play. New to Live Globe? It’s our annual data visualization that shows merchant sales in real time over Black Friday weekend. Here’s what you need to know: → Zoom into the globe to watch the world shop live. Every arc is a real-time order and every burst of confetti marks a merchant’s first sale. → Check the scoreboard for topline data: orders per minute, sales per minute, and unique shoppers. For more technical stats, like webhooks per minute, view the monitor to the right of the pinball machine. → Play pinball. The best part? When entrepreneurs win, you do too. Unlock surprises when merchants hit 10K, 100K, or 1M lifetime orders. → Keep an eye out for hidden Easter eggs. Hint: Look for patterns in the numbers and don’t be afraid to press a few buttons. Play along and watch the world shop: bfcm.shop

Today, we’re announcing our partnership with Shopify to bring Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) to core commerce experiences. Shopify will license LFMs to enhance search and recommendations, improving relevance, conversions, and customer experience at scale. The first production deployment is a sub‑20ms LFM that enhances search. Shopify and Liquid have also co-developed a generative recommender model with a novel HSTU architecture. In controlled tests, the model beat the previous stack, leading to higher conversion rates from recommendations.

What does it take to win Black Friday weekend? We analyzed data from 18,000 shoppers to find out. → Shoppers plan to spend more this Black Friday weekend—up from $155 in 2024 to $192 in 2025. But this isn’t about impulse buying; 51% are setting spending limits, and 23% intend to be stricter with their budgets. → Shoppers are turning to AI for inspiration, with 64% planning to use AI for at least one holiday shopping task. This jumps to 84% among Gen Z. → In-store discovery is up. 43% say they’re more likely than a year ago to discover products in store, while 44% prefer to buy small items online and make larger purchases in store. → More than 1 in 5 shoppers choose brands that reflect their values, and nearly a third prioritize supporting local businesses. The perks that keep customers coming back: discounts (49%), free shipping and returns (41%), and loyalty programs (29%).
