Accept a giropay payment
Caution
Stripe automatically presents your customers payment method options by evaluating their currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters. We recommend that you configure your payment methods from the Stripe Dashboard using the instructions in Accept a payment.
If you want to continue manually configuring the payment methods you present to your customers with Checkout, use this guide (for example, to accept payments in Subscription mode). Otherwise, migrate to the dashboard.
giropay is a single use payment method where customers are required to authenticate their payment. Customers pay with giropay by redirecting from your website, authorizing the payment, then returning to your website where you get immediate notification on whether the payment succeeded or failed. Because giropay is a single use payment method, it isn’t compatible with SetupIntents.
Note
Your use of giropay must be in accordance with the giropay Terms of Service.

A Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions to support giropay payments:
- Prices for all line items must be in the same currency. If you have line items in different currencies, create separate Checkout Sessions for each currency.
- You can only use one-time line items (recurring subscription plans are not supported).
