Each comparison shows practical-stack and platform-only totals, then repeats the model across seven planning markets.
03 / Market guides
Use local currency planning inputs.
Country pages use local official terms where available, label every converted planning allowance, and identify provider quotes still needed before a decision.

A guide narrows the list. Your scenario makes the decision useful.
Replace the planning defaults with your revenue, order volume, separate platform and gateway quotes, and exchange rate before choosing a platform.
