I mean, where we ended it there with Spencer Harley, the forecasters,

the predictors say that this will be another record shopping season in aggregate.

The data available to you, what are you seeing?

What are the trends?

Yeah, you know, I heard what Spencer said there.

I mean, look, Friday was another record-breaking Black Friday weekend.

We saw about $6.2 billion in sales for Black Friday.

That's up about 25% from last year.

We saw peak sales of $5.1 million per minute on Friday.

That happened around noon on Friday.

That's up from $4.6 million last year as well.

And if you pull up, actually, anyone can see this bfcm.shop, you can actually see global commerce happening right now

in real time.

We are currently seeing about $2.5 million in sales per minute, about 25,000 orders per minute, and we've seen just shy of 70 million unique shoppers buy from Shopify stores.

So it's certainly shaping up to be another great day and happy to go into some of the merchants and some of the trends that we're seeing across Shopify.

Holly, what I'd like to do is actually take a sort of geographic breakdown.

Because in the limited data that we went through with Spencer, I think we're recognizing different speeds of growth in particular.

US versus Europe.

Could we start there?

Yeah, sure.
