IDeal and Bancontact possible with Squarespace

Hi all,

I am a small businessowner in Belgium, building websites for small businesses. And I love Squarespace.

However, in Belgium, customers want to pay with Bancontact. And in The Netherlands (same language-region) they want to pay with IDeal. Both options are not possible in Squarespace and that really influences the popularity of Squarespace. We have to invent a lot of workarounds for shops and member areas.

And I would LOVE LOVE to use the platform in its full power!

I know it is possibe in Stripe to use Bancontact and IDeal. Anyone any ideas on this? Why is this option not available in Squarespace?

Thanks for your thoughts and support on this.

I’ve been advocating for iDEAL and Bancontact for 4-5 years now but Squarespace teams have not been able to prioritise this yet. However, internationalisation is an important element of their growth plans so I’m hoping we will see some progress on this in 2023/24.

Please see some existing threads about this:

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response.  Not really encouraging 😕 But let's keep our hope up indeed, since SQSP also has offices now in Ireland and Portugal....

I will not let any chance pass by to talk about this.

And Thanks for the threads, Paul. Would you recommend Shopify button rather than Ecwid or Plug&Paid or Plug and Pay?

Honestly, it depends on your situation because they are all workarounds and some are better at shipping and others are better at digital products and so on.

A perfect solution would be built-in support from Squarespace 🤞

haha, Thank you Paul, I totally agree 🙂
