Connecting iDEAL to your online store
iDEAL is a Dutch payment system that allows users to pay for products or services online through the interface of their bank. IDEAL currently covers about 55% of all transactions in the Netherlands, making it the country's most popular payment service.
When customers choose iDEAL as their payment method on the site, they are provided with a list of available banks. After choosing their bank, customers are redirected to the site or mobile application of this bank where they can safely make payments. The paid amounts, in turn, go directly to business owners' accounts that are registered and operated in those payment services through which iDEAL was initially connected.
Important: iDEAL does not accept payments on its own. Instead, this payment system uses a network of partners who process customer payments on iDEAL's behalf. This means that you need to contact one of these partners if you wish to connect to iDEAL. In turn, customers can make payments via iDEAL payment system only if they have an account with a Dutch bank. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the prices on the site must be set only in euros, otherwise there may be errors in payment processing.
Important: Payment methods are available on Pro and Trial websites.
