Payment methods by country – how to respond smartly to local preferences

If you sell internationally, you want customers to pay in their own way. Different payment methods are standard in different countries, and these can sometimes differ significantly from what we are used to in the United Kingdom.

Consider Germany, where customers prefer to pay with Klarna or SEPA transfers. In France, Cartes Bancaires is indispensable, while Belgians often use Bancontact and Payconiq. In Scandinavia, MobilePay (Denmark),Swish (Sweden) andVipps (Norway) are the favourite apps for mobile payments. By offering the right local payment methods, you increase trust and conversion.

Whether you are opening your webshop for the French market or want to expand to Sweden, insight into the most popular payment methods per country is essential. On this page, you will find the gateway to payment methods per country and the payment providers (PSPs) that support these methods.
