tl;dr: Decathlon Germany enabled Wero, the European Payments Initiative's account-to-account payment scheme, on decathlon.de as of July 20, becoming the first market in Decathlon's international footprint to adopt it and joining merchants like Eventim Live ahead of Lidl and Rossmann. The move lets Decathlon bypass the 1-2% fees charged by Visa/Mastercard while tying payments to its loyalty program, with in-store rollout across ~110 German locations planned once Wero's POS functionality arrives in 2026-2027. EPI is funding a €10 voucher promotion in October to drive adoption, as Wero (~56M users) still struggles with the classic two-sided network problem.
