Our approach
How we would start
in Amsterdam.

- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in the Netherlands pay — iDEAL, cards and PayPal — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Spring tulip season and King’s Day bring crowds, summer is the tourist peak, and Sinterklaas and Christmas lead retail. The store is live and tested well before then.
