In Suggestions, 1001bricks writes:       Card payments in France make up 52% of the French transactions: https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1218504/online-payments-breakdown-france.jpg While making up 8% of Dutch transactions. Very few people have a credit card and our debit cards usually do not have numbers: https://www.internetkassa.nu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Gebruik-iDAL-2022-Betaalvereniging-Nederland.png And if store numbers are a fair indication, the NL is a bigger presence on Bricklink than France is (1214 against 629). It's just an instant traffic boost for all sellers who have Dutch customers. Agreed with everything - but why would BrickLink better implement a specific Country payment method, than more generic other one(s)? And IIRC, Ideal is possible with Stripe? Or something has to be set up by BrickLink to make it accepted? As I said in another post... But I can't deny it'd be easier for you guys, no problem with that. Yeah, if the one you mentioned is worth adding too (considering how many people use it vs what it'd cost to implement), then definitely. I think as a rule of thumb, in each country Bricklink does business, it should just offer the #1 payment method (or maybe top 3 payment methods if possible) that people expect to find when they go online shopping. Wouldn't be surprised if there are payment methods in the Asian market that are really important there but we/I don't know about. The neat thing about Stripe is that it offers so many. People were mentioning Swish here the other day, seems Stripe has it too. The way Stripe does it - offer everything and funnel it all into one account, acting as a total black box to the account owner, is awesome IMO. And probably the way forward.

[...] Yep, 100% agree with this; Stripe is VERY conveniently accepting many payment methods. (3 months ago, Feb 14, 2024, to Suggestions)
