iDEAL
Note:
We are gradually migrating to iDeal 2.0, an enhanced version of this payment method.
Changes:
- For users of our redirect solution:
From 26/06/2024 on, our payment page no longer displays an issuer list when iDeal is selected.
Instead, the customer is redirected to the iDeal environment to select the issuer.- For users of our direct solution (via API):
By 01/01/2025, slight modifications to your payment method integration will be necessary. Further information will follow.
iDEAL is the leading payment method in the Netherlands and links all major Dutch retail banks. Customers pay via mobile banking app, QR code, or in their own online banking environment. Once a payment is completed, the customer cannot reverse it and iDEAL guarantees settlement.

User guide
Brand recognition
To increase brand recognition for customers, the name of your website appears on the iDEAL payment page and "[Your site name] by MultiSafepay" on the customer's bank statement.
iDEAL QR
iDEAL QR has a wide range of applications. Customers can scan QR codes off screens or paper (e.g. invoices, receipts), and change the amount to pay. This makes it particularly suitable for hospitality, charity collectors, and home deliveries. You can specify whether the same QR code can be used more than once.
Not all Dutch banking apps support iDEAL QR yet, so we recommend that customers scan QR codes with their camera or a general QR reader. This redirects to the ideal.nl payment page, which works for all banks.
