iDEAL is the most prevalent online payment method in the Netherlands, enabling direct bank transfers through customers' own online banking systems. Established in 2005, it is supported by all major Dutch banks.
Principle of operation
- Payment initiation
Merchant sends a payment request to Solidgate, which provides a payment page URL, and the customer is redirected to the payment page via thereturn_url. - Authentication and authorization
Customers are redirected to their bank's payment page to authorize the payment, then to a success or fail URL, depending on the transaction outcome. - Payment confirmation
The payment is performed on the bank’s platform, and customers are then redirected to a success or fail URL based on the transaction status. - Merchant notification
Merchant receives a notification Webhook confirming the payment status.
Redirect your customer to the return_url link provided in the response, which takes them to their bank’s website to enter their authorization details. Ensure that the redirect URL opens in the same window where the customer selected iDEAL as the payment method. If the authorization is successful, the payment gets approved.
