Hi

So I'm feeling really dense. I came across this infographic on Irish SMEs and the state of ecommerce, and I can't work out what they're saying in the first couple of bubbles. They're saying that 91% of SMEs who have a website cannot process sales, but then the following two points are 62% cannot take sales online and 68% cannot process payments online.

For simplicity, let's say there are 1000 SMEs.
630 of them have a website.
91% of that 630 - (573) cannot process sales.
62% of that 630 - (390) cannot take orders.
68% of that 630 - (426) cannot process online payments.

At least that's what I make of it.
