Want to keep an eye on how <\/span>South Africans<\/span> <\/span>are <\/span>buying<\/span> <\/span>this <\/span>Black Friday<\/span> <\/span>and Cyber Monday?<\/p>\n

Peach Payments\u2019s <\/span>Black Friday<\/span> <\/span>Dashboard went live at at <\/span>midnight this morning, until midnight on Monday, 1 December here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The dashboard shows the amount of overall transactions processed via the payment service provider, payment methods used, provincial breakdown and a live ticker of the Rand values of individual transactions.<\/p>\n

The site also shares deals from Peach Payments merchants so shoppers can score big this <\/span>Black<\/span> <\/span>Friday<\/span> <\/span>weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeach Payment\u2019s <\/span>Black Friday<\/span> <\/span>Dashboard is now an expected feature our merchants rely on to build consumer confidence and help merchants scale their businesses,\u201d Joshua Shimkin, Head of Marketing at Peach Payments said. <\/p>\n

E-commerce turnover is expected to exceed R130-billion by the end of 2025 and capture nearly 10% of the country\u2019s total retail market.<\/p>\n

This is the central finding of the <\/span>Online Retail in <\/span>South Africa<\/span> <\/span>2025 <\/span>report, produced by World Wide Worx in collaboration with Mastercard, Peach Payments and Ask Afrika.<\/p>\n

The study revealed that online retail grew by 35% in 2024, reaching R96-billion, and now makes up 8% of total retail sales.<\/p>\n

Growth has continued through 2025 at an annualised rate of 38%, far outpacing physical retail, which increased by just 2.5% in 2024 and 1.6% by mid-2025. This has led to a structural realignment of <\/span>South African<\/span> <\/span>commerce, with digital platforms now embedded in everyday consumer behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of our aim is to improve education and awareness around online payments, which go beyond retail and include B2B payments and other disbursements,\u201d Shimkin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dashboard gives <\/span>South Africans<\/span> <\/span>a chance to see that we have world class technologies in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnline retail has reached a stage where maturity matters as much as momentum,” he says. “South African<\/span> <\/span>retailers are no longer only testing e-commerce; they are scaling it profitably. The ecosystem is ready for its next phase, built on robust payments, efficient logistics, and growing consumer trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
