How to accept credit cards from Bulgaria?

[SMWorks]

Hello I am based in Bulgaria (European Union country) which module for accepting debit cards would work for me? They all seem to be for USA.

I do, customers say they can't pay unless they register with paypal. So that doesnt work. Nobody wants to register with paypal.

What about payment on delivery, bank transfert or ePay.bg (or they cannot be integrated yet in Prestashop).

 

PayPal will be used most probably from those customers who are using it for their purchases outside Bulgaria.

 

I'm also planning to sell in Bulgaria, so any info about the bank payment experiences with Bulgarian customers will be welcomed.

paypal does not accept your currency, so it would not show up in your currency at checkout, but if you want to accept those wanting to pay in the other 21 currencies that paypal supports, it's a good option.  then add those currencies...those savvy with paypal will still have that option.

 

I ask you a question now.  How do people in your country like to pay for things?  Visit their local bank and pay?  It's important to offer what is most comfortable and understood payment method.

 

For example in S. America, most are very familiar paying in person to 3rd party, i.e. deposits into mechanist account. 

 

So knowing how your customers are used to paying will give community good info to help.
