EPS is a single use payment method where customers are required to authenticate their payment. Customers pay with EPS by redirecting from your website, authorizing the payment, then returning to your website, where you get immediate notification about whether the payment succeeded or failed.
Note
Your use of EPS must be in accordance with the EPS Terms of Service.
Depending on how you settle payments, there might be additional notification requirements to be aware of.
Determine compatibility
A Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions to support EPS 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 aren’t supported).
