During this time, we\u2019ve discovered that offering multiple payment methods is one of the easiest ways to boost conversions in different regions and customer bases.For example, Bancontact is a popular payment system that is used mainly in Belgium. It lets customers make secure, real-time payments directly from their bank accounts. Whether your customers are shopping online, paying in-store, or splitting bills with friends, Bancontact provides a seamless and reliable way to complete transactions.All that said, we believe adding Bancontact payments in WordPress can help you cater to a broader audience, boost your credibility, and increase conversion rates.In this article, we will show you how to easily add Bancontact payments in WordPress, step by step.Why Add Bancontact Payments in WordPress?If you plan to attract customers from Belgium or nearby regions, adding Bancontact payments to WordPress is a must. Bancontact allows users to make real-time payments directly from their bank accounts using either their physical card or the Bancontact mobile app.By offering it as a payment option, you make it easier for local customers to make purchases conveniently, increasing your sales and conversion rates.Bancontact also supports contactless payments and offers two-factor authentication to protect buyers and sellers during transactions.Plus, it\u2019s super cost-effective, with transaction fees ranging from just \u20ac0.10 to \u20ac0.20 per purchase. This makes it an affordable option for businesses of all sizes.To put it simply, when you add Bancontact, you can easily localize your payment options while still growing your global reach and appealing to a broader audience.Having said that, let\u2019s examine how to easily add Bancontact payments in WordPress. For this tutorial, we will use two methods. Use the links below to jump to the option that works best for you:Method 1: Add a Bancontact Payment Form in WordPressThis method is for you if you want to add a Bancontact payment form to your WordPress website without building a full-fledged online store.It can be ideal for accepting Bancontact payments in WordPress for donations, recurring membership fees, or any other professional services.To do this, we recommend WP Simple Pay. After thorough research and testing, we believe that it is the best tool for the job. It has an intuitive builder, spam protection, and integration with multiple payment options.Plus, it comes with a premade template for Bancontact payments. For more details about our experience, see our WP Simple Pay review.To get started, you\u2019ll need to install and activate the WP Simple Pay plugin. For details, see our tutorial on how to install a WordPress plugin.Note: WP Simple Pay has a free plan. However, you will need the pro version to unlock the Bancontact Payments template.Once you activate the plugin, a setup wizard will open on your screen. Here, click the \u2018Let\u2019s Get Started\u2019 button.This will direct you to the next step, where you\u2019ll have to enter your plugin\u2019s license key.You can get this information from your account on the WP Simple Pay website.After that, you\u2019ll need to connect your plugin with Stripe, a popular payment gateway, to accept online payments easily.Keep in mind that since WP Simple Pay is a Stripe plugin, it won\u2019t work on your website until you connect it with a new or existing Stripe account.To get started, click the \u2018Connect with Stripe\u2019 button.For more information, check out our tutorial on\u00a0how to accept Stripe payments in WordPress.Once you connect Stripe and WP Simple Pay, the setup wizard will ask you to configure your emails. At this point, you can enable options to receive email notifications for payment receipts, upcoming invoices, and payment notifications.You will also need to enter the email address where you want the plugin to send these messages. Then, click the \u2018Save and Continue\u2019 button.You can now complete the rest of the setup wizard steps according to your preferences.After that, visit the\u00a0WP Simple Pay \u00bb Payment Forms\u00a0page in the WordPress dashboard and click the \u2018Create Your Payment Form\u2019 button.This will take you to the \u2018Select a template\u2019 page, where you will see a list of premade templates offered by WP Simple Pay.From here, locate the \u2018Bancontact Payment Form\u2019 template. Once you find it, just click the \u2018Use Template\u2019 button under it.You will now be directed to the \u2018Add New Payment Form\u2019 page, where you can change your form\u2019s title and add a description.After that, you\u2019ll need to select \u2018On-site payment form\u2019 as your form type. You can also check the box under it to turn on spam protection.Next, switch to the \u2018Payment\u2019 tab in the left column and choose your preferred tax collection rates under the \u2018Tax Collection\u2019 option.You can also set the price for the product or service you want to sell through the form. If you are offering a subscription-based service, then choose the \u2018Subscription\u2019 option. Once you do that, click the \u2018Add Price\u2019 button to create and include multiple subscription tiers.Remember that you\u2019ll need to choose the Euro as your preferred currency in this section. The Bancontact payment form won\u2019t work if you don\u2019t.Now, scroll down to the \u2018Payment Methods\u2019 section and select the \u2018All\u2019 option from the dropdown menu.Here, you will see that the Bancontact payment option has already been selected. You can also add other payment options, such as Klarna,\u00a0AliPay, or Card if you like.Next, go to the \u2018Form Fields\u2019 tab. You can add a form field from the dropdown menu and configure its settings by expanding the tab. Additionally, you can rearrange the existing fields by dragging and dropping them.For instance, if you plan to sell a physical product that needs to be delivered, you\u2019ll need to add an address field to your form. This will allow customers to easily provide their location when they make a purchase.After that, head over to the \u2018Payment Page\u2019 tab and check the \u2018Enable a dedicated payment page\u2019 box. This way, you can create a custom payment form page without manually building a new page on your website.The plugin makes it super easy to set a permalink, pick a color scheme, add your logo, and display footer text.When you\u2019re happy with your customizations, click the \u2018Publish\u2019 button to store your changes.Now, visit your WordPress site on the front end to check out your new Bancontact payment form.On the other hand, you can also add the Bancontact form to an existing page on your website. To do this, click the \u2018Publish\u2019 button after adding form fields.Then, open the page or post you want to use in the WordPress dashboard and click the \u2018Add Block\u2019 (+) button in the top left corner. This will open the block menu, where you can search for the WP Simple Pay block.After you add the block to your page, go ahead and select the payment form you created from the dropdown menu within the block.Now, click the \u2018Update\u2019 or \u2018Publish\u2019 button to store your settings.Then, feel free to visit your website to view the Bancontact payment form in action.Method 2: Add Bancontact as a Payment Option in WooCommerceIf you want to add the Bancontact payment option to your WooCommerce store, then this method is for you.The first step is to install and activate the Stripe Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin.
