Created in 2011 by the government and retailers to stimulate the economy, it offers discounts across all categories. It is Mexico's equivalent of Black Friday and generates billions of pesos in sales over a long weekend.
What is the Hot Sale in Mexico?
Hot Sale is Mexico's major mid-year online shopping event, typically held in late May through early June. Organized by the Mexican Online Sales Association (AMVO), it features exclusive online deals from hundreds of retailers. It was created to boost e-commerce adoption and has grown significantly since its inception in 2014.
How does OXXO facilitate e-commerce payments?
OXXO, Mexico's largest convenience store chain with over 20,000 locations, enables cash payments for online purchases. Shoppers select 'pay at OXXO' at checkout, receive a reference number, and pay in cash at any store. This is crucial in Mexico where many consumers lack credit cards or bank accounts, making OXXO a bridge between cash and digital commerce.
