Just For Sure I try Many Ways

Hey @erfix2

Shopify itself doesn’t support SEPA Direct Debit through Shopify Payments (except for billing your Shopify invoices).
To accept SEPA payments from customers, you’ll need to use a third-party gateway like Stripe, Mollie, or Adyen — these providers integrate SEPA with Shopify checkout.

Go to Settings → Payments → Add payment method, search for SEPA, and connect a supported provider.

Hi @erfix2

SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) allows customers in Europe to pay directly from their bank account in euros — commonly used in Germany, France, Netherlands, etc.

Option 1: Use Shopify Payments (Built-in SEPA Debit)

If your store is based in an eligible country (like Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Ireland, etc.) and you use Shopify Payments, then SEPA is already supported.

To enable it:

  1. Go to Settings → Payments in your Shopify admin.
  2. Under Shopify Payments, click Manage.
  3. Scroll to Payment methods.
  4. Enable SEPA Direct Debit.
  5. Click Save.

Customers in supported regions will now see SEPA as a payment option at checkout.

Option 2: Use a Third-Party SEPA Gateway

If Shopify Payments isn’t available in your country, use a third-party provider that supports SEPA.
Common ones include:

  • Mollie (mollie.com)
  • Stripe (via Stripe SEPA Direct Debit)
  • PayPlug
  • Adyen

To add:

  1. Go to Settings → Payments → Add payment method.
  2. Select your provider (e.g., Mollie).
  3. Connect your account.
  4. In Mollie or Stripe, enable SEPA Direct Debit.

Option 3: Manual Bank Transfer (Offline SEPA)

If you just want customers to transfer money manually, you can add a manual payment method:

  1. Go to Settings → Payments → Manual payment methods → Add manual payment method.
  2. Choose Bank Deposit or Custom Payment Method.
  3. Add your IBAN, BIC, Bank Name, and a note like
    “Please transfer the amount to our bank account via SEPA transfer.”
  4. Save.

This won’t process payments automatically, but customers can still pay directly through their bank.

Hi @erfix2 :waving_hand: Avoid chasing your tail, do the actual work.
First or contact a shopify support advisor on the shopify help pages.
Then just do the actual research literally just google it and find actual shopify based docs or apps.

Don’t muck about with your money with bot answers off the bat you wil have a bad time.

How does Stripe help with this? Through solutions like Easy⇃⇂Pie Checkout? I’m also looking for a solution for iDEAL, which is similar to SEPA.

@Kokipi Hello

Stripe helps by offering a unified payments platform that supports multiple international payment methods, making it easier for Shopify experts and merchants to sell globally. Through integrations like Easy Pie Checkout, Stripe simplifies the checkout experience with customizable payment flows, reducing friction and boosting conversion rates. It also supports regional options like iDEAL, which works similarly to SEPA, enabling seamless bank transfers for customers in Europe and improving trust and transaction success rates across local markets.
