TAMARAC, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to Adobe’s Digital Index, November 30th, 2015 marked the largest online shopping day in U.S. history, with more than $3.09 billion spent online. This marks a 16 percent increase from 2014, with the final reported figure surpassing experts’ forecasted number by 3.2 percent.
3dcart’s final totals are based on 12,200 U.S. online stores from the 17,000+ merchants that are powered by their platform. Websites experienced a record-breaking amount of traffic and sales during the one-day shopping extravaganza.
