That's a legal requirement for any business in Belgium, and I can't imagine the Dutch being that far behind on that ...
Even if you can't take card or contactless payments or apps, you can do instant bank transfers with most banks within the EU ("Instant Payments"), either free of charge or pretty cheap.
