International Black Friday Payment Methods to Enable

International shoppers convert dramatically better when they can pay with their preferred local method. A US store that accepts only Visa/Mastercard leaves significant revenue on the table from EU and APAC markets on Black Friday.

Payment Method Key Markets Market Share Shopify Support
PayPal Global High everywhere Native
iDEAL Netherlands 60%+ of NL transactions Via Stripe/Mollie
Klarna EU, UK, AU, US Strong for higher AOV App integration
Bancontact Belgium 60%+ of BE transactions Via Mollie
Sofort/Klarna Pay Now Germany, Austria Popular for bank transfer Via Stripe
Afterpay Australia, NZ, US Strong for fashion/beauty App integration
