What this means
What to do with it.
PayPal in France covers a clear majority of the market, so the work is in the second filter. Fewer than half of its shops advertise now, which makes ad activity the first cut; platform is the second, with WooCommerce and PrestaShop leading. Stripe is the only other provider at scale, so PayPal shops without Stripe are the ones with room for a second processor.
Target PayPal shops in France that advertise now and do not offer Stripe or Alma, and lead with the gap for a second provider or BNPL.
Treat PayPal as a baseline in France and segment by platform; WooCommerce and PrestaShop lead, then Shopify and Magento.
Use PayPal shops in France as the base pool of retailers with a working checkout, then narrow by category and company before reaching a buyer.
