Posted on January 14, 2008 Written by Bill Hartzer

Chase Paymentech

Any interesting report is out today from Chase Paymentech, saying that the online holiday retail sales for 2007 grew by a whopping twenty nine percent.

The sales volume and the actual number of transactions was gathered at ten of the biggest U.S. online retailer sites during the 2007 holiday shopping season. The 2007 holiday shopping season is defined as the first Monday in November (this year it was November 5, 2007) through the first Monday in January (this year it was Jan. 7, 2008). The Chase Paymentech Pulse Index tracked an average of 1.7 million payment transactions each day for 10 of the top 30 U.S. retail Web sites (as identified by Internet Retailer Magazine).
