BFCM 2025 by the Numbers: Record Scale and Zero Downtime

Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) is always the ultimate stress test for eCommerce. It is the moment when marketing strategies, customer loyalty, and technical infrastructure are pushed to their absolute limits.

The results for 2025 are in, and the data paints a clear picture: the scale of engagement continues to grow.

This year, Yotpo merchants drove incredible outcomes, managing millions of orders and billions of interactions over the holiday weekend. Just as importantly, our platform supported that load with zero downtime, ensuring that when traffic peaked, our brands kept selling without interruption.

Here is a look at the numbers behind BFCM 2025.
