BAUR, Quelle and Bünting among the first online merchants to connect; more to be announced in the coming weeks
Eschborn, 28 April, 2026. The European PayTech, Nexi, has reached a significant milestone, integrating the digital payment method, Wero, into German eCommerce through its German subsidiary, Nexi Germany. In doing so, Nexi lays the foundation for connecting further online merchants to the new European payment system.
First online merchants preparing to launch
Parallel to the technical integration, the first well-known German online merchants have already signed up for the Wero connection. Among them are Bünting Group, with its online brands “Combi.de & MyTime.de”, as well as BAUR and Quelle, which are now preparing to offer Wero as a payment option to their customers. BAUR and Quelle – both online shops belonging to the BAUR-Gruppe – plan to integrate Wero into their “ComfortPay” service. Nexi will announce further online merchants connecting to Wero over the coming weeks.
Martina Weimert, CEO of the European Payments Initiative: "We are pleased to see Nexi is offering Wero as a payment method for their merchants in Germany. At the end of 2025 we announced Wero’s upcoming roll-out for online purchases, so this is an important next step in bringing a new account-to-account payment experience to a broader range of merchants and customers in the German market."
Thomas Spreitzer, CEO Nexi DACH: "Implementing Wero for BAUR, Quelle, and Bünting marks an important step in bringing an additional European payment alternative to merchants and consumers in Germany. At Nexi, we are supporting the rollout of this new sovereign European payment system both through Nexi Germany’s integration of Wero into eCommerce, and through our subsidiary Computop, which acts as the technical service provider for Wero. Wero stands for simplicity, speed and security – values that align perfectly with Nexi’s own ambition in payments."
A new standard for European online payments
Wero is based on real-time, account-to-account transfers, and is designed to process payments faster, more cost-efficiently and in a sovereign European manner. Initially, the new payment method was introduced by its operating company, the European Payments Initiative (EPI), for person-to-person payments. Now it is being rolled out in eCommerce, with future plans to introduce Wero at the Point of Sale. The EPI is currently supported by 16 European banks and payment service providers, and Wero is now available in Belgium, France and Germany. Other European markets and partners will follow gradually.
