Hi guys, sorry for another thread!
I promise it's last

We are going to set a few languages/target countries for our e-commerce store.
Please tell me:
- what payment methods are used in Germany?
- what payment methods are used in Russia?

Thank you very much, another time !

Germany it's extremely hard market to sell to. To be successful your site will need to look 100% trustworthy, with perfect grammar and you will need everything a German business has. They prefer open invoices, direct deposit with SOFORT, credit cards and last Paypal.

Yes, completely true!
We have multi-lang team so no problem. I heard about SOFORT. So... I have to think about it. Thanks!

Sofort, Klarna, PayPal and CC are very popular in Germany and the german-speaking countries.

You can't go wrong with PayPal (used in 52% of all German orders), I assume you are already aware of that.
Also providing a direct payment form for CC's is recommended. In addition to SOFORT, add GiroPay too.

2nd most popular option to consider is Zahlung per Rechnung (26%), the customer has a period of 14 days to pay after package has arrived.
Inherently with providing this option, there will be some fraud risks. To avoid a lot of stress, you might want to think about leaving the handling to a 3rd-party like Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/).
Maybe you can add it when your E-Commerce shop is exploding.

You can ask mods to merge the thread or edit your post instead opening multiple threads on same topic on the same day
