Shopify merchants broke records over the BFCM weekend selling over $2.9 billion USD worth of goods across 175 countries, up from last year’s $1.8 billion. Over 1,000,000 merchants rely on the Shopify platform on days like Black Friday to scale and grow their business. Merchants don’t need to worry about their site crashing because Shopify takes care of the tech and merchants can focus on what matters. If you had a not-so-great BFCM, it might be worth considering whether you’re on the right platform. Shopify Plus have a handy Commerce Evaluation Guide that walks you through what questions to ask and what you need to consider when choosing the right commerce platform for your business.
