European alternatives to Stripe
Stripe is the leading internet payment infrastructure provider, headquartered in San Francisco and Dublin. While Stripe operates an Irish entity for EU customers, it is ultimately a US group subject to US disclosure laws. The European alternatives — Mollie, Adyen, Worldline, Klarna — are headquartered in the EU, support SEPA, iDEAL, Bancontact and other European payment methods natively, and keep funds and data within European jurisdiction.

Why migrate away from Stripe?
Stripe is operated by Stripe, a US-controlled provider subject to the US Cloud Act and FISA Section 702. For European organisations handling personal, commercial or public-sector data, that creates an ongoing GDPR transfer risk. The alternatives above are headquartered in the EU or Switzerland, store data within European jurisdiction and remove that exposure.
