For germany I feel confident to claim that any projections you could make about ROI should more than warrant it.
Our payment-landscape consists of a crippled paypal and an array of absolutely atrocious gateways (wirecard, ogone, adyen, moneybookers etc.), all of which are firmly stuck in the 1990s in each and every regard.
Whoever moves first with a sane payment-solution will enter the world's 4th largest economy with effectively zero competition.

I have a suspicion that Americans tend to underestimate Germany, thinking of Europe as something that might be comparable to the US, and Germany as only a small part of that. In reality, Germany has 80 million people - similar to California, Texas, and New York state put together, and is as you say the world's fourth largest economy. They also much prefer German over English, so it might well be a good investment for many startups to have a German English student translating their site.
