[![Payment methods](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/xicdlhp80bme50u352v0.gif)](stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/overview?utm_medium=earned-email&utm_source=dev.to&utm_campaign=global_all_en_general_general_devdigest2020oct_2020-10-29_internal*none&utm_content=&utm_term=)

You can now accept more European payment methods from anywhere in the world without any foreign incorporation or local bank setup. 

- You can accept payments with SEPA Debit, Bancontact, EPS, giropay, iDEAL, Przelewy24, and Sofort with any Stripe integration. 
- You can add these payment methods to Stripe Checkout with a single line of code. No manual activation in the Dashboard required. 
- We'll handle cross-border money movement and pay out earnings in your preferred currency. All your payments—regardless of payment method—will show up in your unified reports in the Dashboard.
