If this is your target customer base, then we recommend setting up iDEAL. It\u2019s a popular online payment system in the Netherlands that allows customers to make instant bank transfers directly from their bank accounts when purchasing online.Putting it simply, adding iDEAL to your online store can build trust with your Dutch customers, simplify the buyer journey, and also reduce cart abandonment. It\u2019s a win-win!In this article, we will show you how to easily accept iDEAL payments in WordPress, step by step.Why Accept iDEAL Payments in WordPress?If you want to sell products or services in the Netherlands, then you\u2019ll want to start accepting iDEAL payments in WordPress. It is the most popular online payment system in the country, trusted by millions for its reliability and simplicity.In fact, almost every major Dutch bank supports iDEAL. It allows customers to pay directly from their bank accounts without needing a credit card, making it a must-have option for any global store.During our research for this article, we found that iDEAL is a secure payment system. When customers select it, they are redirected to their own bank\u2019s platform to complete the payment. This ensures they don\u2019t have to share sensitive banking information with any third-party websites.Plus, iDEAL provides instant payment confirmation, allowing you to process orders quickly and offer a seamless checkout experience.Another big benefit of iDEAL is that it\u2019s affordable. Its transaction fees are usually lower than credit card fees, which can save your business money by helping you cut down on payment processing costs.Having said that, let\u2019s take a look at how to easily accept iDEAL payments in WordPress. We will cover two methods in this tutorial. You can use the links below to jump to your preferred approach:Method 1: Create an iDEAL Payments Form in WordPressIf you want to create an iDEAL payment form in WordPress, then this method is for you. It will allow you to accept iDEAL payments for donations, memberships, services, or products without having to create a fully functional online store.To do this, we recommend WP Simple Pay. We have tested it extensively on our own websites, and we really like it. In our opinion, it is the best WordPress Stripe plugin. It offers an intuitive builder, spam protection, and easy integration with numerous payment options.Plus, our testing revealed that it comes with a premade template for iDEAL payments. To learn more, see our full WP Simple Pay review.To get started, you\u2019ll first need to install and activate the WP Simple Pay plugin. For details, see our beginner\u2019s guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.Note: WP Simple Pay has a free version. However, you will need the pro plan to unlock the iDEAL payment form template.Upon activation, you will see a setup wizard on your screen. Go ahead and click the \u2018Let\u2019s Get Started\u2019 button.On the following page, you\u2019ll need to enter your plugin\u2019s license key.You can get this information from under your account on the WP Simple Pay website. Then, click the \u2018Activate and Continue\u2019 button.After that, you have to connect your Stripe account with WP Simple Pay. Stripe is a\u00a0popular payment gateway\u00a0that helps you accept online payments.Please note that the plugin will not work unless you connect it with a new or existing Stripe account. To do this, click the \u2018Connect with Stripe\u2019 button.You can now log in to your Stripe account to connect it to the plugin.

You\u2019ll also need to add the email address where you want to receive these messages.Finally, click the \u2018Save and Continue\u2019 button.

That way, customers can easily provide their address when they make a purchase or book an appointment.Now, go to the \u2018Payment Page\u2019 tab and check the \u2018Enable a dedicated payment page\u2019 box. This will allow you to build a custom page without manually adding a new page to your website.WP Simple Pay lets you customize the form by setting a permalink, color scheme, image, footer text, and more.Finally, click the \u2018Publish\u2019 button to save your changes.You can now visit your WordPress site to see the iDEAL payment form in action.Now, if you want to add the iDEAL form to an existing page instead, you can do that, too.
