This sound is associated with Shopify, the ecommerce platform used by many online stores. The sale notification became especially recognizable through entrepreneur content, dropshipping clips and TikTok business edits, where creators used it as instant shorthand for getting paid. Its appeal comes from how quickly listeners understand the message: a sale happened. Even outside actual store content, the chime spread into memes, parody success stories and reaction edits because it compresses the idea of money, validation and online hustle into less than three seconds.
