The European market is characterized above all by its diversity. Stores from all over Europe offer their customers a wide range of products and their very own customer journey. E-commerce today is subject to more constant change than ever before. With all this rapid change, it can sometimes be very easy to lose track. Just when companies decide to join a trend, it is already over or outdated.
But one trend that is here to stay is offering European payment methods in online stores. Sooner or later, the business should also expand beyond its own national borders. It is important to address international customers and ensure that the joint journey does not end in the middle of the checkout process.
