Frequently asked questions

How do consumers in Europe research products before they buy? It varies significantly by market. In Germany, 50% start by browsing websites or apps, while Danish shoppers lean heavily on search engines. Social media plays a growing role across most markets, but it rarely replaces search as the primary discovery channel.
Which payment methods do European consumers prefer? Each market has its own expectations. Danes reach for MobilePay and Dankort, Germans expect PayPal and the option to pay by invoice, and French shoppers default to card payments. Offering the wrong options at checkout is a straightforward way to lose an otherwise ready buyer. Use the Market Fact Sheets to learn about the expectations of the specific markets.
What delivery options do shoppers expect across markets? Questions on delivery remains one of the most frequently asked questions across customer service, but the delivery options varies from market to market. For example, Danes will prefer to pick up their orders, Germans expect home delivery, and French shoppers want both. The pattern is clear: delivery flexibility is not optional, it is part of the basic offer in most European markets.
Which product categories and social platforms perform best per market? Fashion leads across all three markets, but the supporting categories differ. Entertainment content performs strongly in Germany, while shoes and health and beauty rank high in France. Social media scale also varies considerably, and knowing where your audience actually spends time online is the foundation of any paid social strategy that works across borders.
