Simply Schedule Appointments News for August

Bancontact and Alipay for Stripe

This month we’ve added two new payment methods to our Stripe integration, including Bancontact and AliPay. Previously we only supported iDeal along with the default Credit Card options. 

With the exception of the Credit Card option, each of the payment methods has a few requirements before you can readily use them in your booking forms. Along with also enabling and completing any additional set up in your Stripe account.

SSA will display each payment option if:

  • iDeal: The Euro currency is enabled and the Webhook Signing Secret field set up.
  • Bancontact: The Euro currency is enabled and the Webhook Signing Secret field set up.
  • Alipay: The Chinese Yuan or USD currency is enabled.

Hide Payment Methods for Stripe

We’ve also added the option to hide or disable each specific payment method. This is in case you meet some of the payment method requirements above but you don’t necessarily want to accept payments through that method.
