Manage Stripe payment methods

At the end of this guide

You'll know which payment methods Stripe can offer your customers and how to turn them on or off from your Stripe Dashboard. 

Stripe supports a number of popular European payment methods, including EPS, Google Pay, Giropay, Przelewy24, SOFORT, Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay and SEPA Direct Debit.

Stripe makes these payment methods available out-of-the-box for users in all countries excluding Brazil, India, and Malaysia.

4. What your customers see at checkout

Features

1. Express Checkout: Apple Pay and Google Pay

This lets customers pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay — their name, email, and shipping address fill in automatically. 

• Go to Settings → Payment Processors and edit your Stripe processor.

• Under Express Checkout, turn on Allow Express Checkout. 

Clarifications:

• Domain registration happens automatically. You do not need to register your domain in Stripe

• We will only record the information included on their accounts in Apple Pay or Google Pay.

• They will only be able to enter the VAT number before they pay. If your customers use Express Checkout before entering it, they will be treated as not having one

• If a VAT number is required, Express Checkout will not show as an option

• Your customers will only see the wallets they actually have set up. Apple Pay shows on Safari with a card in Apple Wallet, Google Pay shows in Chrome with a saved card, and Link shows to Stripe Link users.

• Billing details like address/country are filled in when required from the wallets too.

• Any custom fields you got set up on your order forms will show up on the next step on the checkout, after they’ve paid.

• This works alongside all your existing payment methods. Nothing changes about your current setup; it just adds the fast lane at the top.
  

2. Payment methods available through Stripe

Stripe supports a wide range of payment methods beyond cards. Which ones are available to a specific customer depends on your country, the customer's country, the transaction currency, and Stripe's own eligibility rules.

Additional methods — BLIK, EPS, Bizum, MB Way, Satispay, PromptPay, and others — are available depending on your region. Stripe determines eligibility automatically.

3. Turn payment methods on or off

All payment methods are managed in your Stripe Dashboard, not in Simplero.

1. Go to Settings → Payment Processors and edit your Stripe processor.

2. Under Payment methods, click Open Stripe dashboard.
   
   

3. In Stripe, go to Settings → Payment methods.

4. Turn individual methods on or off (Enable / Disable)
   
   
   

Changes take effect at checkout immediately.

⚠️ Do not disable Cards. That's how you take credit card payments.

4. What your customers see at checkout

Stripe decides which payment methods to show each customer based on:

• Which methods you've turned on in Stripe

• The customer's location and device

• The currency and amount of the purchase

For example, Klarna only appears if you've enabled it in Stripe and the customer is in a country where Klarna operates. iDEAL only appears for EUR prices.

You do not control this selection in Simplero — Stripe handles it automatically.

Troubleshooting

• Why don't I see a payment method I turned on? — Stripe determines eligibility per transaction. A method may not appear if the customer's country, the currency, or the amount doesn't qualify. Check your Stripe Dashboard's payment method settings to confirm it's enabled.

• A payment method shows "Pending" in Stripe — That's a Stripe-side status. Contact Stripe support if you want to use it.

• Where do I set up a non-Stripe payment processor? — See the Payment Processor Setup guide.
