Building trust, one payment at a time

For leaders scaling their subscription business, payments are the gatekeeper to trust and conversion. But Europe isn't a monolith. Success requires a localized strategy that speaks to dozens of unique markets. This report provides the data you need, based on insights from over 2,200 brands and a survey of 1,000 consumers.

  • Unlock the universal key to retention: This report shows you how to turn flexibility — the #1 feature for 62% of European subscribers — into your most effective tool for building long-term loyalty

  • Speak the local (payments) language: Beyond cards, success means offering Bacs, SEPA, and iDEAL. Are you offering the payment mix your customers trust?

  • Build a bulletproof defense. Debit cards drive 48% of all failed sign-ups globally. With regulations like Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) in force, you need a smarter approach to fraud that doesn't block legitimate subscribers.

The code to sustainable growth in Europe isn’t just about what you sell — it’s about how you sell it. A localized, flexible, and secure payment strategy is your key to unlocking the market. Ready to build your strategy? Download the report now and get started on your future growth.
