 "Flipkart's payment gateway goes down on the first day of their Big Billion Day Sale, hilarity ensues")
October is a month of festivities. Diwali and Dussehra are around the corner (11 and 30 October respectively) and everyone’s in a festive mood. None more so than e-commerce companies, however. The two largest e-commerce giants are busy flooding us with deals, Amazon with its Great Indian Shopping Festival and Flipkart with its Big Billion Days. There are deals aplenty to go around and you can keep an eye on our site for daily updates. We’ve also compiled a list of the latest and greatest deals on this page here , which you can check out at your leisure. The sales are on, people are shopping, but Flipkart seems to have run into some slight trouble. Their payment gateway apparently went down at the start of their Big Billion Day sale and, understandably, customers were less than impressed. They did have some rather snarky things to say, however…
Flipkart payment gateway crashed within minutes of Sale :) So good are the offers !
