iDEAL is the leading online payment method in the Netherlands, used for over 60% of all Dutch e-commerce transactions. It allows customers to pay directly through their bank, making it fast, secure, and familiar.
How It Works
When a customer selects iDEAL at checkout:
- Customer chooses iDEAL as their payment method
- They select their bank from the list
- They’re redirected to their bank’s secure login
- Customer confirms the payment in their banking environment
- Payment is confirmed in real-time and order is placed
The entire process takes just a few seconds and uses the customer’s trusted banking app or website.
