For buying stuff online? In which EU country is this supposed to be the norm?

I live in DE, and I haven't come across any merchant where there wasn't at least a PayPal option to pay. I know that many people in DE still "distrust" credit cards, but I wouldn't say IBAN payment in e-commerce is the norm.

Sofort is common, as the name might suggest, in DE (and I hear also AT). Weirdly a lot of people don't know it's a private company, assuming it's a service offered by their bank. I guess because the name is so generic.

I would never pay for anything with it.

In Baltic states and Finland it has been norm for many years. https://makecommerce.net/service/bank-link/
