Accept a giropay paymentDeprecated

Learn how to accept giropay, a common payment method in Germany.

Warning

Our financial partners are deprecating Giropay. No new business onboarding or transactions will be possible after June 30, 2024. Read our support page for more details.

Caution

Stripe can automatically present the relevant payment methods to your customers by evaluating currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters.

  • Follow the Accept a payment guide to build a Checkout integration that uses dynamic payment methods.
  • If you don’t want to use dynamic payment methods, follow the steps below to manually configure the payment methods in your Checkout integration.

giropay is a single use payment method where customers are required to authenticate their payment. Customers pay with giropay by redirecting from your website, authorizing the payment, then returning to your website where you get immediate notification on whether the payment succeeded or failed. Because giropay is a single use payment method, it isn’t compatible with SetupIntents.

Note

Your use of giropay must be in accordance with the giropay Terms of Service.

Determine compatibility

A Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions to support giropay payments:

  • Prices for all line items must be in the same currency. If you have line items in different currencies, create separate Checkout Sessions for each currency.
  • You can only use one-time line items (recurring subscription plans are not supported).
