What this means

What to do with it.

Bancontact shops are the Belgian-first list and PayPal shops the broad one, so pick by what you sell and to whom. PayPal shops run on Shopify first, then WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento, and a minority of them advertise.

Payment and BNPL teams

Target Bancontact shops that offer no Klarna, Alma or Afterpay, since buy now, pay later reaches only a share of Belgian shops with an identified provider.

Ecommerce software and email tools

Work PayPal shops by platform, Shopify first, then WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento, and lead with the checkout integrations each platform supports.

Marketplaces

Prioritize shops offering both PayPal and Bancontact: a working checkout for Belgian buyers and for buyers from abroad is what a marketplace seller needs.
