What breaks under peak load
94,900+ merchants recorded their highest-selling day ever in BFCM 2025. Sales peaked at $5.1M per minute at 12:01pm EST on Black Friday. A checkout that runs cleanly on a normal Tuesday is being asked a completely different question once real BFCM traffic hits it, and most storefronts have never been tested against it.

Shop Pay accounted for 32% of BFCM 2025 order volume, with sales up 39% year over year. Flexible payment options follow the same logic, BNPL placement alone has been shown to lower cart abandonment by as much as 28% and lift average order value by up to 50%, yet most merchants still leave it buried below the fold.
Learn more →Why loyalty outran discounts in 2025
Per Klaviyo's 2025 BFCM Recap, consumer spending rose 11% year over year even as industry-wide discounts fell 10%, and repeat-customer revenue grew 13.5%, outpacing revenue from new buyers. Loyalty, not deeper markdowns, is what actually drove growth last season.

Across P3's client portfolio, paid media revenue grew 17% year over year at a 4.7x blended ROAS, a return driven less by increased budget and more by sharper targeting and creative volume, which grew 274% year over year, from 136 to 508 ad creatives.
