EPS payments

Learn about EPS, a common payment method in Austria.

Copy page

EPS is an Austria-based payment method that lets customers complete transactions online using their bank credentials. All Austrian banks support EPS, and over 80% of Austrian online retailers accept it.

Pricing and fees

For information on payment method transaction fees, refer to pricing details.

EPS redirects customers to their bank’s website to authenticate a payment. You receive immediate notification about the success or failure of a payment.

Customer enters account credentials

Customer completes authorization process (with scanner or SMS)

Customer is notified that payment is complete

(Optional) Customer returns back to the business’s site for payment confirmation

Get started

You don’t have to integrate EPS and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and enable EPS. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

  • Checkout: Our prebuilt, hosted checkout page.
  • Elements: Our drop-in UI components.

Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add EPS from the Dashboard:

  • Invoicing
  • Payment Links

If your integration requires manually listing payment methods, learn how to manually configure EPS as a payment.

Disputes

The risk of fraud or unrecognized payments is low because the customer must authenticate the payment with their bank. As a result, you won’t have disputes that turn into chargebacks, with funds withdrawn from your Stripe account.

Refunds

EPS payments can be refunded up to 180 days after the original payment date.
