Overview
- The European Payments Initiative’s service is now live for online ticket purchases at Eventim, marking Wero’s first e‑commerce integration.
- Only users banking with Germany’s Sparkassen or VR‑Banken can complete checkout, while customers of other participating banks currently receive errors.
- Selecting Wero at checkout displays a QR code that routes the buyer to their banking app to review and confirm the payment.
- Wero, backed by a consortium of European banks as an alternative to PayPal, Visa and Mastercard, delayed merchant onboarding from summer to late 2025.
- EPI expects to announce additional online partners at a press conference in about two weeks, with iDEAL user support planned next year and in‑store acceptance targeted for 2026–2027.
