Hi there, you can follow these guides:

• ideal https://stripe.com/docs/payments/ideal/set-up-payment
• bancontact https://stripe.com/docs/payments/bancontact/set-up-payment
  to save payment methods so that you can use them for subscriptions

Note that you need to setup a SEPA Direct Debit payment method from iDEAL.

@dawn willow @dawn willow, I appreciate the documentation you provided. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding with my development team. They mentioned that implementing subscriptions with iDeal and Bancontact (followed by SEPA Direct Debit for recurring payments) is not feasible due to the inherently two-step nature of these payment methods. They suggest this complexity necessitates using the default Stripe Checkout Page instead of a custom solution with Stripe Elements.

Could you clarify if it's indeed possible to implement iDeal and Bancontact for initial subscription payments with a subsequent transition to SEPA Direct Debit using Stripe Elements on a custom landing page? I'm under the impression that while it might be more complex, it's certainly achievable. Any insights or further clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I want to ensure we're exploring all possible options to provide the best user experience.
