Taking a look

#

That is helpful, ty!

#

Is iDEAL enabled here? Specifically the recurring part

#

I cannot do this in the dashboard because our connected accounts are custom

#

so I did it through the API

hallow slate
signal thunder
#

for subscriptions? it works for one time payments

hallow slate
signal thunder
#

yeah we don't want to enable it for all connected accounts

#

so I did it for a specific connected account

#

that's one time payments

hallow slate
#

I'm beginning to think iDEAL just isn't supported in this flow

signal thunder
#

maybe that could be it

#

could you please find out if is not supported?

#

and what alternatives do I have?

lime ermineBOT
hallow slate
#

Seems iDEAL recurring payments are only supported in Checkout

signal thunder
#

is there a workaround I can use to keep this page?

#

like mode: 'setup' to save the payment method and then create the subscription or that won't work?

#

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

signal thunder
#

np at all thanks a lot

fallow stone
#

there are 2 ways to use iDEAL with subscriptions

#

actually there's one more

#

you save the payment method before creating the subscription

signal thunder
#

which one would you recommend to use in the current page I shared?

fallow stone
#

I think the easiest would be to replace subscription mode to setup mode

#

and then you should be good to go

#

in the case of iDEAL you would use the underlying IBAN payment method ID to start the subscription

signal thunder
fallow stone
#

for cards it would work similar to iDEAL with setup mode

#

when the card PM is created you would then create the subscription

#

instead of paying directly the first invoice of the subscription

#

this is not what we recommend usually

#

but if you want consistency with the 2 payment methods that's what you need to do

#

it's a tradeoff

signal thunder
#

so I need to replace the mode: 'subscription' to 'setup' and follow another guide?

#

and then in the case the payment is iDEAL I need to extract the IBAN from the paymentIntent?

fallow stone
#

or you can setup a "radio" button style list where you treat cards and iDEAL in 2 different ways depending on what the user chooses

signal thunder
#

yeah that could be something as well

fallow stone
#

and you can even change your current Elements layout to use radio buttons

signal thunder
#

we have bacs dd working in our internal dashboard I could just add 'ideal' to the checkout and we're good to go

fallow stone
#

this way you still have consistency between the one-time payments and subscriptions UIs

signal thunder
#

is it possible to add a custom button there or I just need to get a button there and make it look as close as possible to the payment element accordion?

#

is a bit hacky :/

fallow stone
#

yes I agree

#

there's no clean solution for this

signal thunder
#

oh no way

#

so that's the one right?

fallow stone
#

but you would then have to redirect your customer to a page where they submit their iDEAL in an Element with setup mode

#

but it's really complicated

#

as I said there is no clean way today of integrating this

signal thunder
#

lemme show you what I have within the dashboard I think this could work

#

and you can tell me if it's a good idea or now

#

or not*

#

will this happen again with other payment methods as we enable them?

#

at the moment we only support, cards, bacs_debit and ideal

fallow stone
#

iDEAL is a bit special

signal thunder
#

ok

fallow stone
#

Bancontact is the other one that behaves similarly

signal thunder
#

i'm after migrating everything from the legacy card element to the paymentelement and I convinced everyone that it will be dynamic and it'll work for all payment methods but I didn't realise iDEAL won't work with subscriptions in the paymentelement

fallow stone
#

yes that's one of the caveats

signal thunder
#

my fear is to continue getting these in the future when sales ask me for another payment method

fallow stone
#

hopefully not

signal thunder
#

okay I think that's everything from me! I'm more clear now, I just need to think what I'm going to do

#

can I contact you after you close this thread?

#

I always lose the thread and need to explain everything again

fallow stone
#

don't worry if you come again and open a new thread we would have the reference to this thread added directly there if you're using the same discord user

signal thunder
#

perfect thanks so much for all the help 🙏 have a great day

fallow stone
#

you too, let me know if you need any more help
