Expanding Your Business Into Europe — Requirements for Payments Success

Germany
German consumers expect retailers to have a German address and prices shown in euros, not U.S. dollars. This also applies to payment methods at checkout, with site visitors expecting to see payment methods like credit and direct debit cards, PayPal, giropay, and payment on invoice.

Austria
The e-payment standard has been used in Austria as a popular payment method for several years now. Other regular payment options used in Austria are direct debit and Maestro SecureCode, which is distributed via Austrian banks.
