1/7 As we put Black Friday + Cyber Monday in the rearview, we wanted to share a few stats that highlighted this year’s trends (a 🧵).
In 2023, Shopify merchants smashed BFCM records this year with $9.3 billion in online spending, a 24% increase year-over-year.
Additionally:
Pulling stats for some of our first customers testing our new Klaviyo server-side tracking destination
Very excited and more importantly excited for generating more $$ for our customers without having to "do" anything different (just let abandoned flows operate with more users!)
📍Join us April 29-30th in Charleston, South Carolina alongside 300 leading brands and industry experts as we dive into the future of eCommerce data and analytics.
It's important to note that you will need the new Shopify Source installed on your store before you can leverage any of these destinations.

The js "fix" is using checkout object instead of order. Lots of downsides obviously, but can prevent null.

GA way behind in reporting today (and missing data from yesterday)? You are not alone..it's that time of the year we see this every year..

- Check the real-time report in UA or Elevar
Major delays happen every BFCM
