Holiday Online Shopping Trends Reveal Shifts in Ecommerce

Prior to the holiday season, online merchants were looking forward to the prospect of a successful close to the year. Looking back at the data it’s clear that their optimism was well placed. For the merchants included in the Pulse Index, customers turned to ecommerce in record numbers for their holiday shopping, with year-over-year growth rates far outpacing forecasts.

Looking at growth rates by themselves, however, only scratches the surface when it comes to understanding how ecommerce is changing. By digging into the Pulse Index data, we can see shifts in consumer online shopping behavior, how merchants are responding, and what these changes mean for next year and beyond.

For more information and year-over-year results, download our new Perspectives paper: 5 Ways Holiday Ecommerce is Changing, Lessons learned from the Chase Paymentech Pulse Index

The Index (including all data, charts and descriptions) are intended solely to provide a snapshot of the average (i) total dollar sales, (ii) ticket amount; and (iii) total transaction count performance of 50 leading online retailers for the major retail shopping period by the use of year-on-year and day-on-day comparisons. The Pulse Index is not intended to evaluate any one particular online retailer and does not claim to represent the entire online retail industry as a whole. The Pulse Index is intended to provide a consistent set of merchant indicators year-on-year, and does not include incremental web sites or new acquisitions experienced by these retailers. The data represents online purchases for which consumers used credit cards, debit cards, gift card redemptions, and alternative methods of payment.
