This statistic is the result of research that tracks the use of "payment technology" across various websites found within certain countries. The source included seven categories in this:

• Bitcoin, e.g. bitcoin traders such as Coingecko;
• Checkout Buttons, e.g. Amazon Payments, Stripe, PayPal Button.;
• Currency, e.g the option to pay in euros or Japanese yen;
• Donation, e.g. Amazon Payments;
• Pay Later, e.g. buy now, pay later solutions;
• Payment Acceptance, e.g. Visa, PayPal, MasterCard, etc.
• Payment Processor, e.g. Braintree, Amazon Payments, Stripe, etc.

1. Statista assumes the source qualifies this as payment processing or payment methods offered by fintechs - as bank transfer systems, such as the Netherlands' iDEAL or the international SWIFT system, were not mentioned;
2. The data concerns URL domains from within that country, but may not necessarily reflect companies originating from within the country. An example was the webshop of Armada Music, a dance music label headquartered in the Netherlands but whose URL was based in the United States;
3. Payment methods offered in certain countries can be aimed at foreign, cross-border, users. For instance, the source stated that certain U.S. URLs offered Bancontact - a payment method that originates from Belgium.
