I never said that, just disputing the claim that credit cards are “not usual in the civilized world”. CC is absolute the norm for mass-market b2c services, and to claim otherwise is pure ignorance
Oh sure, debit vs credit is largely a non-distinction here since debit cards are generally on the same network: Visa or less commonly MasterCard. So unless there are other business-related reasons to deny debit cards (currency conversion or cross-border regulations maybe?), they should be handled by the same processor as a credit card and usually for a much lower transaction fee too!

In Europe I would say debit cards are way more common than credit cards. It’s very rare to see someone paying with a credit card.
