#Does Mollie also have plans to use the term 'credit card' less or eliminate it?

I saw that Buckaroo and Adyen are more or less moving away from the term "credit card":

Does anyone know what Mollie's plans are in this area?

According to Buckaroo, Mastercard and Visa will also check for incorrect use of the term 'credit card'. I couldn't find any information about this myself, but maybe the Mollie team knows more about this?

Yes, we are using the preferred terminology in most places already. If you're using our Hosted Payment Page, you're already good to go. If you're using one of our Integrations or Plugins, you might need to reconfigure this yourself - of course the same applies if you have built your own integration. For Woocommerce we changed it in the localization file: https://github.com/mollie/WooCommerce/blob/d8e9314e42d8cfc5f3d7a12415d48ebdc66306fe/languages/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce-en_GB.po#L17-L19

Isn't adjusting a translation as in https://github.com/mollie/WooCommerce/blob/d8e9314e42d8cfc5f3d7a12415d48ebdc66306fe/languages/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce-en_GB.po#L17-L19 a bit too simplistic? The Dutch translation file still says 'Credit card': https://github.com/mollie/WooCommerce/blob/d8e9314e42d8cfc5f3d7a12415d48ebdc66306fe/languages/mollie-payments-for-woocommerce-nl_NL.po#L1025-L1027. My question is also how important is it to use 'Card' or 'Credit/Debit Card'. Is this legally required? Is there more information in https://inpsyde.atlassian.net/browse/MOL-732 ?

@upper zephyr can you check whether the Dutch localization was missed when updating the payment method name?

I am not an expert on legal matters, so unfortunately I can't advise whether it's "legally" required - our support team might be able to help you better on that one. There surely is strong encouragement to d it, as it certainly helps consumers to understand that they can use both their Credit and Debit cards.

Thanks i noticed it's also named 'Cards' in the description of the creditcard method response.

We can probably also make some improvements in this area in the Pronamic Pay plugin.

In NL people are still used to Credit Card, since that was the only card you could use for online payments. But this will change with all the banks moving from Maestro/VPay to MasterCard Debit or Visa Debit.

In other countries (like the UK), it was already possible to make online payments with a debit card. So this is why you may see "Cards" for UK localization, but maybe still "Credit Card" for Dutch. But "Cards" is the most future proof 😉
