Lidl.de Adopts Wero Payment System
Lidl has announced the integration of Wero, a new European payment method developed by the European Payments Initiative (EPI), into its online shop, Lidl.de. This move positions Lidl as the first food retailer in Germany to offer Wero as a payment option for its e-commerce customers.
Real-Time Account-to-Account Transactions
Wero facilitates direct, real-time payments from a customer's bank account to the merchant. This system is designed to offer a secure and efficient transaction process, with payments approved directly within the customer's banking app. The process also supports immediate refunds for returns.
Customer Convenience and Accessibility
To use Wero, customers require a giro account with one of the 18 participating banks and a one-time activation of the Wero function within their banking app. During checkout on Lidl.de, selecting Wero redirects the user to their banking app for payment confirmation or allows scanning a QR code to complete the purchase. This expands payment choices for Lidl customers, offering a modern alternative available to over 56 million bank customers in Europe.
