2. Best Checkout Workarounds for Asian & Non-EU Buyers

🇨🇳 For Developers in China (Alipay & UnionPay Workaround) Netcup does not have a direct Alipay or WeChat Pay gateway. However, you can easily pay via PayPal with an attached UnionPay (银联) or domestic dual-currency card. In your PayPal account, set your card's billing currency to EUR (Euros) to let your bank handle the exchange rate, avoiding PayPal's high 4% currency conversion fee.
🇺🇸 For Developers in the United States & Americas US credit cards with zero foreign transaction fees (e.g. Chase Sapphire, Capital One) work flawlessly. Netcup charges in EUR, and your card issuer will convert at the interbank mid-market rate. Alternatively, PayPal one-click checkout is fully supported.
🌐 Wise & Revolut Multi-Currency Accounts If you have a Wise (formerly TransferWise) borderless multi-currency account, you can pay Netcup using a virtual Wise Visa card, or initiate a local European SEPA bank transfer directly to Netcup's Deutsche Bank IBAN. SEPA transfers via Wise clear in seconds!
