How can I manage recurring orders with iDeal and SEPA Direct Debit?

Topic summary

Dutch merchants are seeking ways to accept iDeal payments and manage recurring orders via SEPA Direct Debit on Shopify. The original poster uses Bold Subscriptions but finds it only supports credit cards.

Key Solutions Discussed:

  • GoCardless Integration: N_Abey repeatedly offers a custom subscription app connected with GoCardless, which supports SEPA Direct Debit across multiple European countries. Later announces an official Shopify app is now available (https://apps.shopify.com/gocard-dd).

  • Stripe Payment Links: paidmembersapp suggests using Stripe Checkout with SEPA support through their app, noting SEPA requires handling “delayed payment notifications.” Provides YouTube tutorial for implementation.

  • Third-Party Apps: Mentions of ReCharge (credit card only), Appstle Memberships, and “Shopify Stripe Checkout” as potential solutions.

Current Status:

Multiple users express the same need throughout the thread. The discussion remains largely unresolved for many participants, with several follow-up requests for information going unanswered. The GoCardless app announcement appears to be the most concrete solution offered, supporting SEPA and other regional direct debit methods across 30+ countries.

Hi N_Abey, I’m having the same problem but not with subscription orders but with membership orders through Appstle Memberships. I want my members to have the option to checkout using Sepa Direct Debit. Could you help me with this. I’ve also sent you an email.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Odin
