Inditex accepts Bizum as a payment method for customers making online purchases in its brands Stradivarius, Massimo Dutti and Oysho, as reported to Europa Press by sources from the Galician company.

Inditex joins other companies in the retail sector, including El Corte Inglés and Dia, in opting for this payment method in order to facilitate its customers’ online shopping experience.

This form of payment, which reduces the average purchase time compared to credit card payments, joins other systems that were already available in the Inditex group's stores, such as card payments and Paypal.
