What this means
What to do with it.
The Dutch field is long: PayPal and Bancontact are too broad to target alone, so start from Mollie, Adyen or Stripe shops and split them by which instalment provider sits next to them. Klarna reaches a share of shops and Afterpay far fewer, so a shop with a gateway but no instalment option is the common open target. PayPal shops run on WooCommerce first, then Shopify, Magento, Lightspeed eCom and PrestaShop.
Target Mollie and Adyen shops that offer no Klarna, Afterpay or Billink; that is the open instalment slot, and both gateway lists are specific.
Work Lightspeed eCom and Magento shops alongside WooCommerce and Shopify; all four sit in the PayPal platform mix for the Netherlands.
Build Dutch lists from the gateways, Mollie, Adyen and Stripe, rather than from PayPal, which is too broad to narrow anything.
