01 / PAYMENT METHOD HIERARCHY
What the shopper should see first.
The method order depends on local preference, device and eligibility. A popular scheme is not automatically available to your merchant.
FIRST-SCREEN EXPERIENCE
Prioritize a usable path, not a logo wall.
Show eligible local bank checkout near cards, with a clearly explained bank-selection or approval flow.
LOCALIZATION & TRUST
Respect the buyer's context.
Display EUR totals and all fees. Handle customer return from the bank as separate from confirmed payment status.
02 / INTERACTIVE CHECKOUT PATH PLANNER
What does an ideal checkout actually do?
Select the buyer relationship. The steps change because a local one-time sale, a subscription and a cross-border purchase are different payment products and legal journeys.

07 / SOURCES AND CAVEATS
Official system documentation, then the merchant contract.
Payment networks, regulators and product pages establish different kinds of facts. None proves underwriting approval for a merchant.
