CCD2 is sorted. Now ask the harder questions

For merchants using Riverty’s 14-day invoice, the situation is currently simpler – this product is temporarily exempt from these requirements, so the checkout experience stays as it is; no additional friction, no new steps for your customers. For merchants in Germany, it’s a concrete advantage at a moment when competitors are adding steps.
