Hey, we had already raised this issue with Stripe. Will bump up this thread with them. In the meanwhile could you please use our desktop/web app to subscribe? Thank you!

Subscribed using other payment method :D
But I do actually think this issue isn't with stripe. This is caused because it is supposed to open as local link in the banking app and I believe your implementation prevents that.

Got it, thank you!

I just noticed that the page that was opened is not using a custom URL scheme, but is prefixed with http:// – to which the banking app has likely registered a deeplink, that the WebView is unaware of.

Possible solutions:

1. Maintain a set of URL prefixes, for which we should intercept the request and trigger the URL launcher. For example, in this case it would be http://nl.rabobank.idealv2//
2. Always open payments.ente.io in the system's default browser (that will forward deeplinks correctly), and post payment completion use a deeplink to bring ente back into the foreground
