Forms of payment outside the US

[BelAmiAlan]

Hey guys sorry so quite I was away for work for 12 days. Happy to be home. Anyways, what are the popular forms of payment outside the US. I understand that most Europeans do not have a credit card, is this true? And if it is what types of billing options do I want to make my site readily available to everyone? Thanks

A lot of Europeans prefer to use debit cards. And not typically what Americans think of as debit cards either. Brands such as Switch/Solo, Maestro, JCB, Visa Electron, Visa Bleu and some others, I think.

EU Debit for us has the same high rate of return that US checks did. Last month 1294.76 in with 465.52 being returned so about 35% of them are no good. We are about to cut it from our options. EU Direct pay does not.

Whoever told you that people in EU doesnt have a creditcard is not telling the story straight... Tons of people have creditcards but for some reason they dont use it as much on the internet as the US people does... and within some/most countries there are local payment providers that can handle the countries debit cards however these providers doesnt always accept porno and are rarely integrated with the big payment solutions..

However there are tons of people in europe that use their CC online for porno but it can never hurt to do alternative payment options for the big 4: UK, Germany, France, Spain

As mentioned, a lot of people use Swith/solo, maestro - debit cards etc. But most will also have credit card and often use them.. too much even! lol
