No, but yes, in that Ideal is for what, one Country?

Yes. Why run a Dutch version of the lego site at all then? Why translate the
whole site, for just what, one country? (well, two) Either you do business somewhere
or you don't. Sending people emails with manual payment instructions is just
silly. They actually check all those payments manually and it's a ton of
work for them, they told me on the phone more than once. Keep in mind Dutch people
do not have credit cards or debit cards with card numbers like you guys do.

a different payment method PER Country?
|
Not implement, just check the box in Stripe. BrickOwl did it. I did it in my
own webshop. I get Klarna payments without even knowing what Klarna is. Stripe
supports a ton of methods. You just need to check the box and that's it.
Would you like more buyers from the Netherlands? Just enable iDeal and they will
increase instantly. You don't ever have to know what iDeal even is or how
it looks or works.
And the neat thing: iDeal takes no percentage fee, just a fixed €0.29. The sellers
and Bricklink itself will 1. save money on the PayPal fees and 2. attract a lot
more Dutch users, as PayPal is really not popular or well known here, and again,
card payment is not possible for the vast majority of Dutch residents.

Card payments in France make up 52% of the French transactions:

While making up 8% of Dutch transactions. Very few people have a credit card
and our debit cards usually do not have numbers:

And if store numbers are a fair indication, the NL is a bigger presence on Bricklink
than France is (1214 against 629). It's just an instant traffic boost for
all sellers who have Dutch customers.
