With scary I'm referring to the potentially lost revenue if customers end up aborting their order instead of choosing another payment method if PayPal is not available anymore. We offer both credit card and direct debit payment outside

Its just very convenient due to being basically a one-click payment. I think the big difference in Germany is that people here tend to have their bank account linked with PayPal, not their credit card (because many people in Germany don&#x2

Yeah, bank transfers are still popular here, especially with older people. Either completely manual with (hopefully) automatic reconciliation through some reference number or with giropay/SOFORT.

Direct debit would be great if the UX would be better. There are PSPs that make it easier for merchants (GoCardless), but entering the long IBAN is the crucial point. It would be great if there was a popular app/feature so you could sa

I think many people in Germany actually have their bank account linked with PayPal, not their credit card. So PayPal uses direct debit to get the money from the customer and "floats" the payment to the merchant. Direct debit payme

No, not selling on eBay, only through our own website. But you are probably right about eBay being the the reason for PayPal's popularity here.

Maybe I'm overestimating and most customers would go through the trouble of manually filling in their payment details, but it's scary to find out :-) Fees are a good point. PayPal's fixed fee (0,35€ per transaction on top of

Adding more payment methods is definitely key. But like the sibling comment says, they don't come close to PayPal's popularity. So its a reasonable fallback, but I wouldn't remove PayPal voluntarily. Chargebacks are interesti

I have nightmares about this. The comments here saying that PayPal is just for hobby projects and should be avoided are living in a different reality. For me (e-commerce business, mainly in Germany), PayPal makes up around 70-80% of revenue

Adyen does. I previously used a smaller German company, Payone, they did too.

Underrated, but probably the best long-term solution. Along with direct integration of popular wallets like PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. GoCardless for bank account based stuff.

We currently use them as our main PSP. It's ok. Unfortunately they seem to have stopped working on their main payment product for years and it stagnated. I asked a sales rep years ago if they have plans to integrate Amazon Pay. He said

I talked to them in December 2022 and they now require a minimum of €5m/year to even consider you. The reason given was that underwriting/KYC for such small accounts is not worth it anymore. So not really an option for small busin

Could be related to your site saying "Note: Due to high demand, current orders may take two weeks to ship. ". Thats pretty long. What do you have set in your merchant center shipping settings? See https://support.google

In the PHP world, especially when using Symfony, Doctrine ORM is very popular (inspired by Hibernate). It has all kinds of caches, including the query cache that you mentioned: https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/

There is also the EU's Platform to Business (P2B) regulation from 2020. But from my understanding it doesn't apply to advertising, only direct transactions on the platform. So in the case of Meta, this would be "Facebook Shop

Hmm possible, but I haven't heard of any such regulation or court decision. I guess something like that would have made bigger news. Like some other commenters mentioned, this is actually helpful for affected people/businesses bec

Germany, which, after some research, seems to be a plus in cases like this because of some consumer friendly court decisions we recently had here :)

I have no idea from a legal standpoint. It's certainly a fear and I guess the main reason why people like me are reluctant to go this route.
