What this means
What to do with it.
Treat PayPal as reach, not precision: pair it with platform, country and ad activity to cut a very large list down. Shopify leads its platforms in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and all four Nordic countries, while WooCommerce leads in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Poland. Shops that advertise now are at most half of its list in every country, so an ads filter is the sharpest first cut.
In Greece, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, a large part of its shops only name it on the site rather than offering it at checkout. In those countries, filter to checkout before counting a shop as a live PayPal merchant.
Prioritize shops that advertise now and, in Greece, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, those that offer it at checkout, because the site-only part of the list needs a second signal.
Reach its Shopify shops in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Nordics, and its WooCommerce shops in Germany, France, Italy and Spain, as a broad seller pool.
Use it as the widest base for a country list, then let platform and ad activity do the narrowing before matching to companies.

- Which ecommerce platforms do PayPal shops run?

Keep in mind
- Named on the shop's site does not mean it is offered at checkout, and neither shows it is the default option.
- Leading by shop count is not the same as leading by payment volume.
