Are you experiencing some trouble using AstroPay in Europe? You are not alone. AstroPay's services as a means of payment have been temporarily suspended throughout Europe. This is because of some legislative changes in the prepaid payments market. Unfortunately, sometimes the last to know about it are the customers themselves. But don’t worry, we’re here to keep you updated as much as possible and offer you some alternative solutions to keep paying safely online in the meantime.
Why is AstroPay no longer working in Europe?
As of April 2024, AstroPay informed its partners about the suspension of its services in the European market. This means merchants there no longer accept AstroPay as a payment method. In our experience, we often see that these things are almost always temporary, but can take some time. What does this mean for you, the user?
Effects on AstroPay users in Europe
Because European merchants are currently not able to accept AstroPay payments, avid users of the payment method may be understandably confused. While there is no date for when it will return, it is not a question of if, but when AstroPay will return. Sometimes, this can take a few weeks or months. But do not worry, because we will help you make it through with alternatives and tips!
