Accelerate your business with SEPA and WooPayments
Accept payments with confidence
SEPA Direct Debit payments are bank-to-bank, meaning there are no card networks involved in transactions. This eliminates failed payments due to card expiry or cancellation while increasing customer loyalty through a convenient “set and forget” payment method.
Expand into Europe
Accepting SEPA with WooPayments offers exciting growth opportunities for stores wanting to expand their reach. It opens the door for merchants to go global and sell to more customers in the eurozone (plus non-eurozone SEPA countries).
Accept recurring payments
Recurring payments are where SEPA for WooCommerce shines. Merchants can be confident that customers pay their bills on time each month, reducing the time and effort required by chasing and reconciling late payments. For shoppers, it means avoiding the risk of a missed payment deadline, potential late fees, and interruption of their service. It’s a win-win!
*WooPayments is currently available to merchants based in 30 countries.
