No idea but one thing Germany is famous for is the low adoption of credit cards vs direct debit (ELV) etc - more so than most European countries. German's tend to find it a deal breaker (locally) if you are a payment gateway that only supports credit cards. So that could be one reason why but just a guess.

Very good point there! Sadly we (as usual) have found our own way of doing things :-/

AFAIK debit cards are supported but limited to Visa and Mastercard.

n.b. we were talking about DIRECT DEBIT (which is something else entirely from debit cards). You basically allow a company to directly withdraw money from your bank account (assuming sufficient funds on the account)

[k-mcgrady]

Sorry, misread that. Direct debit support would be nice!

No worries. Indeed direct debit would be awesome - at least for the marginal subset of "companies doing business in Germany"

The UK beta allowed Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards
