- m-a-r-c-e-l 3y agoAwesome visuals!
- pierrebeaucamp 3y agoShopify has a similar dashboard as well: https://bfcm.shopify.com https://bfcm.shopify.com
- saliagato 3y agothis is so cool lol

- kefabean 3y agoIt does look cool, but I do find the 'Carbon removed' ticker slightly misleading. In what way does this reflect carbon removed? Surely carbon added to the atmosphere is broadly proportional to the total value of sales.
- CallMeMarc 3y agoIf I'm not mistaken then this refers to transactions done using Shop Pay which will "remove carbon from the air". https://shop.app/carbon-removal https://shop.app/carbon-removal
- jona-f 3y agoSadly those are almost certainly greenwashing bullshit. John Oliver did a piece on that. Also there was this guardian review that didn't find a single satisfactory project among 50. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/19/do-carbon-credit-reduce-emissions-greenhouse-gases?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/19/do-carbo...
- judge2020 3y agoShopify lists their partners on the page and it seems legit enough, not just "Thanks for the $10, I won't remove this tree on the side of this mountain now".
- akamaka 3y agoHow about direct air capture, is that also greenwashing? Shopify is simply waiting for the capture plants to go online: https://news.shopify.com/shopify-purchases-more-direct-air-capture-dac-carbon-removal-than-any-other-company https://news.shopify.com/shopify-purchases-more-direct-air-c...
- jona-f 3y agoYes, afaik, direct air capture currently is miniscule and when it is happening the co2 is sold on the market, where it replaces waste-product-co2, so in the end no co2 is actually removed from the atmosphere. It's currently in research phase, marketing it as "you can offset your carbon emissions here" is lies. We currently can't both consume like this and improve the outcome of global warming. The whole idea of black friday goes against such efforts. Attempts to market it otherwise, even if they were credible are greenwashing.
- nozzlegear 3y agoTo be frank, it sounds like you're deadset on being cynical no matter what. Shopify has committed to removing carbon from the atmosphere via direct air capture, and that's what their metric is counting. Direct air capture is literally removing carbon from the atmosphere, regardless of what's done with the carbon afterwards.
- thundergolfer 3y agoIt’s 100% false consciousness. The Black Friday consumption is a significant carbon pollution event, but ‘conscious consumers’ (and engineers) appreciate the carbon offset trick.
- hokkos 3y agoDone with Three.js
- oritsnile 3y agoWow, these customizations are crazy. Flying in airplane mode makes it look like a war zone.
- fragmede 3y agoShopify uses stripe, so someone out there's doing the math of that dashboard minus the other one and gaining some alpha.
- echelon 3y agoSquare has one too. They should show it off.
- efxhoy 3y agoI'm trying to peek at the data in the dev tools. It's doing a long running request to https://bfcm-globe-data-service-central.shopifycloud.com/public/streaming/events https://bfcm-globe-data-service-central.shopifycloud.com/pub... which is constantly downloading more data, but when I go to peek at the raw data in the "EventStream" tab it shows nothing. Anyone know how to peek at the data?
- Shocka1 3y agoIf I'm understanding your comment correctly: https://bfcm.stripe.dev/api/data https://bfcm.stripe.dev/api/data
- hmate9 3y agoNow multiply that number by 2% which is about what stripe charges per transaction. Pretty nice revenue
- ashishb 3y agoThey have to pay credit card company from it.
- capableweb 3y agoAh, of course, they make no money per transaction hence.
- terminous 3y agoNo, but they don't get to take the full 2% that VISA/MC charge vendors.
- thallium205 3y agoYou have to subtract interchange fees from that.
- codethief 3y agoTo be fair, GP did say "revenue", not "profit".
- smokefoot 3y agoProbably not actually treated as revenue. Those charges get netted out before they’re reported as revenue (interchange is a “contra” revenue line)
- thallium205 3y agoWells Fargo, as their acquiring bank, pulls the fees prior to remitting the funds to them.
- mongol 3y agoTechnically very impressive. I get a little dizzy when considering everything (physical) bought is also sourced, manufactured, stored, packaged, transported and so on.
- akata01 3y agoThis looks really great!
- capableweb 3y agoNumbers look impressive, but seems there is a baseline missing. For example, currently 8.5K businesses are having "their best day ever on Stripe", but what does that number normally look like?
- candiddevmike 3y agoIf you average the total number by business right now its about $4800. Could be interesting to see if this number increases or decreases later on.
- Belphemur 3y agoWow love the 80s style :D Also there is a parallax effect if you swipe that is really well done. When I was a student working at Atos Worldline, Belgium, they had a similar dashboard in the entrance of the building with the number of transactions and money transferred around Xmas.
- the_gipsy 3y agoRuns really slow in firefox.
- aceazzameen 3y agoRan fine on Firefox for Android here. Haven't tried desktop yet.
- SushiHippie 3y agoAlso runs smooth on macos (M2) in firefox
- winrid 3y agoran fine in FF on 2018 x1 carbon...
- roughly 3y agoTotal transactions: $41M Blocked fraudulent: $4.8M So that’s nearly 12% of the transactions suspected fraudulent - that’s nuts
- pc 3y agoThere's a lot of online fraud. We invest a ton in Radar, our payment surfaces, etc., to keep this as invisible as possible to businesses. (We don't always succeed, of course. But, despite the growing sophistication of the fraudsters themselves, we do generally get better every year.)
- terminous 3y agoIf you enter the wrong CVC or ZIP and it is declined, does that increment your blocked fraud counter?
- handelaar 3y agoNo. It used to but they turned it off in Dec 2021; notice in my dashboard says it improved sales revenue by 0.5% but only added fraud risk by 0.0004%
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- granzymes 3y agoThe intuition here is that the rules that block when CVC/ZIP doesn’t match necessarily happen after the bank already decided the transaction was okay, because that’s when Stripe learns whether CVC/ZIP match what the bank had on file. So if you block on a mismatch, you’re throwing away an approved charge every single time since the bank already decided that other signals say the transaction is okay. The bank can block it themselves if they think it’s suspicious (which from my understanding wouldn’t increment this metric).
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- ludovicianul 3y agoaprox 5m frauds out of 40m transactions, insane.
- watronfire 3y agoFraudulent transactions are ~10% of all transactions? That seems much higher than I would expect.
- lowercased 3y agoMight be higher today, but I'd generally suspect it to be somewhere between 5% and 10% of attempted transactions.
- xyst 3y agoI wonder how many are false positives though. Sometimes people fat finger the CVV/CVV2 code and bank will decline it. Does that count as a “blocked fraudulent charge”?
- mato 3y agoCute. Keyboard navigation doesn't work though, that'd be properly '80s.
- smca 3y agoYou can tab + space bar to navigate through the pages if you'd like!
- TekMol 3y agoThis reliably kills Firefox on Linux here. The whole browser. After a few seconds, during which the laptop fans are spinnung up, all tabs go into a "This tab just crashed" state.
- blux 3y agoI'm not sure why you are downvoted; I have the exact same on an up-to-date Firefox.
- sebstefan 3y agoIt brought my windows laptop to its knees as well, I closed the tab before I got to see any stats. :')
- deafpolygon 3y agoMS Edge on a beefy PC - killing my browser here.
- edvards 3y agoSame with Google Chrome stable on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) EDIT: Works well on Google Chrome stable on Windows 11 tho
- olex 3y agoNo issue with FF 119.0.1 on macOS/arm.
- firesteelrain 3y agoMust be your PC. Works fine on my iPhone with FireFox
- acatton 3y agoFirefox on iPhone uses Webkit. It's basically a Safari skin. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Firefox&oldid=1186482699#Firefox_for_iOS https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Firefox&oldid=118... > It is the first Firefox-branded browser not to use the Gecko layout engine as is used in Firefox for desktop and mobile. Apple's policies require all iOS apps that browse the web to use the built-in WebKit rendering framework and WebKit JavaScript, so using Gecko is not possible.
- terminous 3y agoUgh, I love the data but the 3d parallax interface kept moving slightly (on mobile) and literally made me feel motion sickness after a minute. Give me a traditional window layout please!
- factormeta 3y agoDoesn't work on brave by default, also doesn't work with shield turned off. When turn on the dev console, then it works. Hmmm, a bit sketch doesn't work when it require js from another domain.
- adverbly 3y agoI find it pretty funny when designers have it in their mandate to make a number look as cool as possible. You see it on dashboards or all kinds of things like this. I think it would be a good design challenge. Make a decimal number look cool. No other constraints.
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 3y agoSee, that’s a real problem with modern day design: it’s all about making things look cool instead of just no-bullshit functional.
- victorbjorklund 3y agoPretty sure no one outside of stripe has any use of real time revenue for only one day on an aggregated level. Doesnt have to be functional because people dont really "use" it. It is just for fun
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 3y agoDoesn’t matter if it’s for fun. The function here is to show information so in that regard the design failed because it makes you go through hoops irrelevant to the goal
- coffeedoughnuts 3y agowith respect, I disagree that the function here is to show information. the (primary) function here is to advertise Stripe, and they obviously believe the aesthetic will increase the chance that viewers of the advert with share it with their friends and coworkers, increasing the effectiveness if the advert. if this was a page they provided to all their customers, all year round, as their means of monitoring their own sales then I agree that this is a terrible design. but they have a fairly utilitarian dashboard UI for that function.
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 3y ago
- bartread 3y agoBudbrain Megademo vibes on this. I quite like it.
- civilized 3y agoThis video game needs a "skip intro".
- oritsnile 3y agoInteresting that GBP has a volume of 413 million and EUR 420 million, I would have assumed that EUR is much bigger than GBP, does anyone know why they are so close? Also, interesting that the top conversion is GBP -> EUR.
- vizzah 3y agoBrits are bigger online spenders than the whole of Europe, based on other anecdotal evidence..
- tuzemec 3y agoManaged to put my whole MBP on its knees. It took me around 7-8 minutes to close the tab. Proceed with caution.
- jwiz 3y agoPretty sure that is a PCjr chassis under that monitor.
- jakey_bakey 3y agoMaybe I'm just hard to please, but they missed a trick not using a CRT effect over everything using OpenGL shaders - they sort of tried it in the Stripe logo
- xyst 3y ago~$3.2B USD in processed transactions through stripe (so far). ~42M transactions. ~$92.8M for 2.9% fee. ~$12.6M for 30 cent fee. ~$105.4M just for processing transactions on a single day. Above assumes the “standard” pricing [1]. It’s not quite clear how much stripe takes from the 2.9% and 0.30 cut. Likely have to share this with card network and issuing bank. The invisible hand of traditional banking system taking money out of our pockets every time. [1] https://stripe.com/pricing https://stripe.com/pricing
- nathanaldensr 3y ago"We reserve the right to charge you for using the system we created and enforce through monopoly government force!"
- judge2020 3y agoA lot of the fee goes to the customer's bank that funded the transaction, which is what enables Credit Card rewards programs. If you limit that fee (like the E.U. has), Visa et al. don't go out of business, but then you won't see any similar level rewards programs like we have here in the US (e.g. 2% back on everything, or 3-5% on specific categories, etc).
- tjoff 3y agoSuch fees just encourages bad incentives. Such as terrible security because reimbursing people / financing organized crime is cheaper (cheaper for the bank, of course much more expensive for society).
- Hitton 3y agoI'm not sure how believable are those numbers. Businesses having their best day ever on stripe being exactly 9001 (It's over 9000!) for quite some time now seems rather suspicious.
- smca 3y agoThis metric (Businesses having their best day ever on Stripe) updates ~hourly, the rest are in near real-time. We'll update the tooltip to explain.
- mousetree 3y agoNot every company would have their all-time highest sales on this year's Black Friday....
- vikingerik 3y agoCompanies who use Stripe for payments would very much skew towards that. They have a great representation of up-and-coming specialty internet retailers. And the year-over-year numbers are unencumbered this year after being dragged down by pandemic and recession effects in the last few. Plus inflation pushes up the raw numbers.
- bouncycastle 3y agoRussia blacked out
- lopkeny12ko 3y agoHow is "load versus capacity" calculated?
- alberth 3y agoI wonder how they define “transaction”. Are pre-Auth, retries, etc counted as separate txns or a single txn? Are issuer declines and/or 3DS failed auth also counted.
- edwinwee 3y agoTransaction = only successfully authorized and captured payments.
- adaboese 3y agoThis is really cool. I saw someone share snippets behind the scenes when they were just making this!
- willsmith72 3y ago12% request load vs current capacity seems low to me. In my experience, as much as you can distil it down to a simple number, we've aimed for 30-50 depending on capacity for risk. Is 12% normal for stripe? Especially cautious knowing demand will spike this weekend? Feels pretty non-optimised, assuming their infra can scale quickly.
- solatic 3y ago> Especially cautious knowing demand will spike this weekend? At Stripe's scale, I doubt you could accurately forecast demand for a weekend like Black Friday. Last year's sales are just a data point; what matters this year is consumer confidence on a global macroeconomic scale. Who knows what that translates to? > assuming their infra can scale quickly Even if Stripe is handling spikes by scaling on a hyperscaler (e.g. AWS), this scale requires advanced coordination with the hyperscaler. They can't just spin up tens of thousands / hundreds of thousands of VM's on a whim, the underlying abstraction would leak and fail.
- PartiallyTyped 3y ago> Even if Stripe is handling spikes by scaling on a hyperscaler (e.g. AWS), this scale requires advanced coordination with the hyperscaler. They can't just spin up tens of thousands / hundreds of thousands of VM's on a whim, the underlying abstraction would leak and fail. AWS uses predictors / models for this when you are on serverless and automatically allocates instances for you ahead of time.
- harisund1990 3y agoNo one needs 10,000 machines. They likely have scale issues and cannot scale their database quick enough so they planned for the worst spike possible which is likely for a hour on cyber Monday.
- quelltext 3y agoCurrent capacity might not be referring to actual current point in time provisioned capacity but an estimate of how much the overall infra can handle over the next few days. No idea but ultimately this is marketing. If you wanna say we are just using as much as we need that's impressive to engineers but would it require or warrant a dedicated widget there that hovers around some sort of fixed utilization ratio? Saying "look we are processing this much but could easily handle more" you are impressing a larger group. So my guess it's more about that.
- josephd79 3y agoI love the smell of commerce in the morning.
- southernplaces7 3y agoNow you can see in real time as Stripe freezes your account with little recourse for some reason whose specifics are kept opaque and possibly arbitrary.
- ChrisArchitect 3y agoThat font they're using is: UAV OSD Sans Mono A monospace typeface based on the on-screen display font used for the MQ-9 Reaper drone. ;) Free one: https://nicholaskruse.com/work/uavosd https://nicholaskruse.com/work/uavosd
- gsuuon 3y agoAll the text that I assume should be on the monitor is hovering below the display and I only see it if I zoom out (Chrome on Win 11). Seems like it's working fine for others though?
- dangerboysteve 3y agoThat was very lame compared to the Shopify live dash
- arshxyz 3y agoFetches (and parses) a ~93kB JSON file every 3 seconds along with the threejs stuff. No wonder it refuses to load on my mid-range android phone.
- spencerchubb 3y agoAll I see is a computer. I assume this is some sort of bug.
- sontek 3y agohaha, this site is awesome but keeping it open made my M2 fans turn on for the first time ever since I've owned it.
- wodenokoto 3y agoOff-topic, but I thought Black Friday was next week, because all the shops here in Dubai are currently having a White Friday sales. Turns out black didn't ring well in the middle east and they renamed it white: https://advertising.amazon.com/library/guides/white-friday https://advertising.amazon.com/library/guides/white-friday
- weinzierl 3y agoWhy is there about as much volume in GBP as is in EUR? Can this be true?
- zitterbewegung 3y agoThis is much more interesting than the yearly April fools stuff.
- stephencoyner 3y agoWhile the computer adds some nostalgic value, cramming all that stats into it makes the dashboard very hard to read and is the worst size ratio for mobile. Shopify wins this round [1] [1] https://bfcm.shopify.com/ https://bfcm.shopify.com/
- harisund1990 3y ago1% of Visa maybe?
