🌍 NEW AS OF August 2026 — Global Payments and Currency Display

We have changed our payment provider (no longer Shopify Payments) to better serve customers worldwide and to support a broader range of preferred payment methods. This update improves both the stability of payment processing and the flexibility of available options, while keeping our pricing structure transparent and predictable.

💱 Currency Display vs. Billing Currency

Our store only accepts payments in EUR. For easier orientation, prices can now be automatically displayed in the visitor's local currency. The price display is based on geo-IP detection, while the language and currency display is based on the visitor's browser settings and can be customized.

Thanks to the new setup, we can now show currencies that were previously not visible, including IQD, KWD, JOD, AED, SAR, EGP, TRY and many more. This makes it easier for customers to understand prices in their own currency, while the underlying billing remains stable in EUR.

🧾 Local Payment Methods with Geo‑IP Logic

Certain local payment methods are displayed directly in the checkout, but they are only valid for customers from the respective country. Activation is handled via Geo‑IP checks, ensuring that each customer sees payment options that are relevant and available in their region.

💳 More Than 20 Payment Methods via Mollie, Revolut & Stripe

Our new payment providers, Mollie, Revolut and Stripe, offers together more than 20 different payment methods. These include international credit cards, local payment schemes, real‑time payment options, bank transfers and various digital wallets. 

🔐 Additional Security: Stripe Identity

For selected payment methods, Stripe Identity is used to ensure an additional legitimacy check. This applies to:

• Business credit cards
• ACH‑Debits (USA)
• BACS‑Debits (UK)
• SEPA‑Debits (EU)

The verification process is fully digital and enhances security for international transactions.

⚙️ Stripe/Revolut Payment Process (Manual Payment Flow)

When Global Payments is selected, payment is processed outside the standard Shopify checkout. After the order is completed, a separate Payment link is generated and delivered within 3 hours.

Payment link validity: 24 hours
If not opened: the order is automatically cancelled.

This workflow ensures clean handling of international cards, regional wallets and bank debit systems that cannot be processed directly in the checkout.

🔐 Split Payments (3DS Enabled)

Due to the new 3D Secure requirement, we can now offer split payments. Customers may divide their shopping cart into a SPLIT PAYMENT and complete their order using two separate payment methods.

---

📱 Google Pay and Apple Pay

Google Pay and Apple Pay are available through Revolut Payments and Stripe Payments. These wallet‑based payment methods are fully integrated into our payment infrastructure.
