Update Stripe Payment Integration (iDeal)
complete
Duncan Hamra
1) I use Stripe (which has an integration with iDeal payments) but Memberstack does not.
2) This is important because credit cards are not used a lot in Europe. My customers either don't have them or aren't willing to use them.
3) My current workaround is making separate invoices for clients that need this.
4) Please enable iDeal payments w/ Stripe.

Hey all 👋 Update here.
We released this feature and have since learned a few things.
- iDeal + Stripe does not work with recurring payments.
- When iDeal is enabled for one-time payments we are unable to save the member's payment info.
We are able to manually enable iDeal for your project, but the above issues will apply.
So with all this in mind, would you like us to manually enable iDeal for your account or is SEPA Direct Debit a good enough alternative for you? (I've never lived in the Netherlands, so this is all new to me).

Duncan Hamra: That's a great way of making it work! recurring payments are a pain in the ass, and I'm not sure why we're using iDeal as the main payment method in The Netherlands, but ohh well.. it's the way...
With manually enabling iDeal, it's still an option to do a recurring payment method? and are people (customers) available over their invoices and can they cancel their subscription at any time?
Tyler Bell
Jackie Eversdijk: Hi Jackie, yes even when iDeal is enabled, you can still offer recurring subscriptions.
If a recurring subscription is checked out, Stripe will hide the iDeal payment option and show Sepa Direct Debit instead.

Ramy
Duncan Hamra: SEPA Direct Debit is the way to go, also for people living in The Netherlands, this is widely used for subscriptions and recurring transactions.

Hugo Campos
Duncan Hamra: SEPA works fine for recurring payments here in the Netherlands :)
I was testing this just now, and I was wondering if it is possible to set SEPA as the default payment option instead of credit card.
J
Jeroen
Duncan Hamra: Hi, I don't understand why this would not work. Since Stripe offers instructions on how to use iDeal to set up future SEPA Direct Debit payments. (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/ideal/set-up-payment)
I'm currently still debating on using Memberstack over other platforms and to be honest not being able to offer recurring subscriptions through iDeal might be a dealbreaker, since Stripe does offer this if I understand it correctly.
iDeal is somehow the holy grail in the Netherlands, we don't really trust other payment options here :/ , so it would be great if the first payment went through iDeal which sets up future SEPA Direct Debit payments.

Hugo Campos
I agree with Jeroen that iDeal is the holy grail here in the Netherlands. As a non-Dutch, I am ok with SEPA but I would choose iDeal over anything else every time! Having iDeal would be the ideal scenario for us too
Duncan Hamra
Hugo Campos: Hey Hugo 👋 We added the button to enable it. Can you check it out and let me know what you think? https://docs.memberstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/11086110811547

Jeroen: Hey Jeroen 👋 We added the button to enable it. Can you check it out and let me know what you think? https://docs.memberstack.com/hc/en-us/articles/11086110811547
This is the very best we can do with the features the Stripe makes available to us.

Duncan Hamra: Hey Duncan! Sweet, it works :) Thank you so much.
Although not being able to set up a recurring payment is a bummer... I was hoping that after the one-time payment we could take the bank account number associated with the iDeal payment and set up SEPA direct debit for the subscription. This is possible with Stripe Checkout... It won’t be practical if a customer has to always manually pay with iDeal. :(
Duncan Hamra
Hugo Campos: Yeah, makes sense 😞 Sadly, it seems our hands are tied. For whatever this is all we allowed to do as a company who is launching the Stripe customer portal on your behalf. I will update this thread if anything changes 🙏
J
Jeroen
Duncan Hamra: Hi, can i set up an automation flow using ideal in memberstack? So if someone uses ideal it automatically sends them a e-mail/webhook call when their one-time (monthly) subscription ends and need to pay with ideal once again.

Jackie Eversdijk
let's goo Duncan, did you built it in?
Duncan Hamra
Hey

Duncan Hamra: because if it works, I could use Webflow to start creating my freelance platform I've always dreamed of

Enabled as part of Memberstack 2.0 🎉
You do not need to update any settings.
Stripe will automatically display iDeal as a payment method based on the member's location.

We could use a volunteer to help us test this feature with Memberstack 2.0. It should be working, but we don't have any easy way to test (since none of our team is in the Netherlands).
R
Ramy
Duncan Hamra: let’s go! Where can we test? (We from The Netherlands) 🇳🇱
Duncan Hamra
Ramy: Woohoo! Thank you. The easiest way to test is to create a new account with Memberstack 2.0. You'll need ...
- a website with the MS header script
- a Stripe account
- a Paid plan
- a button with 2 attributes. 1) data-ms-price:update="PriceID" 2) data-ms-modal="signup"
If you go to checkout, you should see iDeal as an option... if that doesn't work or if you run into any issues please let me know! I'm happy to help you get setup and test things.
If it doesn't work after that I'll talk with Tyler to get it working. Should be super easier from our end.

Duncan Hamra: Still need a volunteer? I am planning to migrate to 2.0, would be happy to test this feature :)

Maarten Duineveld
Duncan Hamra: is there a update about this? Do you already support iDeal?
Duncan Hamra
planned

Any updates on this?
Naitik Mehta
Maurice Dibbets: No updates yet. Will look into this once we're ready to dive into more payment integrations! Just focusing on launching 2.0 for now.
