Bancontact is a popular card-based payment method in Belgium and the market leader for both online and in-store transactions.
This documentation explains how to configure Bancontact using Adyen. Chargebee allows you to configure and process Bancontact payments with Adyen seamlessly.
To configure Bancontact via Adyen, you must have an account with Adyen and have configured SEPA (using Adyen). Bancontact is generally used for one-time payments. In a subscription-based business, you will charge your customers on a recurring basis. Therefore, Chargebee handles recurring scenarios by converting the Bancontact payment method to Direct Debit SEPA payment method. The first payment happens via Bancontact, and all future recurring payments will happen via Direct Debit SEPA.
Recurring payments are not supported by Maestro due to restrictions defined by its network.
