You can try reaching out to Shopify Expert Developers or independent freelancers on platforms like Upwork or Freelancer. You can post a project description stating your requirement for adding a local payment feature for IDeal on your website and receive proposals from interested developers. You can then review their portfolios and ratings, communicate with them to see if they are a good fit for your project, and ultimately select one to work with. You should also clearly communicate your budget and timeline for the project to ensure that you find a developer who can deliver within your constraints.
Topic summary
Shopify’s restrictions prevent third‑party subscription apps (e.g., Appstle) from offering local payment methods, which is problematic for a Netherlands-based store where ~90% of customers prefer iDeal (a Dutch online bank transfer payment method). The poster seeks a developer to add iDeal support for subscriptions or implement a workable subscription model.
Suggested actions:
- Engage Shopify Expert Developers or freelancers (Upwork, Freelancer) and provide a clear project brief, budget, and timeline. Review portfolios, ratings, and fit before hiring.
- Recognize the complexity: integrating local payments into subscription flows is non‑trivial; consider a proficient Shopify development company with relevant experience.
Status and open questions:
- No confirmed solution or decision yet. The feasibility of integrating iDeal with Shopify subscriptions via third‑party apps remains unresolved.
- Next steps hinge on finding qualified developers and validating a compliant approach within Shopify’s payment limitations.
