IDeal, Bancontact mandate with sepa direct debit payments for subscriptions?

Hi Sander!

Thank you very much for your interest in WooCommerce Payments.

1. Is this plugin working the way I want with Woocommerce Subscriptions?

Not yet! Currently Subscriptions via WooCommerce Payments only work in the US.

2. If not, will this be added? And if so could you give an estimation?

We have no definite timeline for this, but our plans are to expand this feature to other countries as fast as we can.

3. Will this plugin support Woofunnels / One Click Upsells?

Currently there are no plans to support these 2 extensions.

Kind regards,

Hi Con a11n,

Ok thanks for the reply. But now i’m totally confused.
On your own salespage: https://woocommerce.com/woocommerce-payments-ideal/ it literally says:

Accept Recurring Payments
iDEAL supports recurring payments through WooCommerce Subscriptions and SEPA Direct Debit, allowing you to capture a steady revenue stream. For customers, it means value and convenience without setting reminders or forgetting to pay.

Also your bancontact salespage says the same thing: https://woocommerce.com/woocommerce-payments-bancontact/

This totally conflicts with what you are saying about only creditcards being supported. Which is why a created my post in the first place. Please clarify.

Thanks!

Sander

Hey there!

My apologies, I think that your initial question was misunderstood. Just to add some clarification, WooCommerce Payments itself has Subscriptions functionality as a feature of the plugin – but it is currently only available for merchants based in the US. That is the functionality my colleague was referring to above.

If you are asking if it is compatible with the standalone WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin, WooCommerce Payments is compatible as listed here in the WooCommerce Subscriptions documentation: https://woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/payment-gateways/
This does include support for iDEAL and Bancontact.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi,

Ok, thanks for the reply and clarification. However my original question is still not answered. I am not asking about compatibility of the 2 payment methods (iDeal and Bancontact) with WooCommerce Subscriptions and Payments. I was asking when using both of your products if it works in the following way:

I am looking for a payment solution that will enable me to use Woocommerce Subscriptions with an iDeal or Bancontact initial payment and then uses this iDeal/Bancontact mandate for monthly SEPA Direct Debit payments. This is how competing solutions work. Eg Mollie (Woocommerce based) or Plug & Pay (not Woocommerce based). Stripe also has documentation on this on their website: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/ideal/save-during-payment

So to be clear this initial payment via iDeal or Bancontact to use for the subscription could be a product or the first month of the subscription itself. Or it could just be 0.01 euro to just create the mandate for SEPA Direct Debit

Could you please be so kind to clarify the exact way of working of your products and if it is the same as what i am looking for?\

Thanks!

Hey again!

Thanks for confirming your request, and your patience.

iDeal and Bancontact should be able to do as you are wanting. Basically within WooCommerce Payments, it will be able to create a SEPA mandate to handle billing in the future with Subscriptions.

We’re not able to confirm if it works with any other upsell type plugin.
