What are white spots?

White spots are items that customers search for on bol, but cannot buy yet. By closely analyzing customer search and order behavior, we identify where the sales opportunities are. This includes:

  • New products for the platform
  • Products that have been out of stock for 28 days or more

White spots help you discover opportunities for new product range. By responding to gaps in the offer on bol, you make your product range more complete and more relevant for customers. That can contribute to more orders and a higher chance of winning the buy box. You can find your personal white spots in your seller account.
