iDEAL is a Netherlands-based payment method that allows customers to complete transactions online using their credentials. It is the most preferred online payment method in the Netherlands with a share of online transactions close to 55%.
In this documentation we are going to learn about configuring Stripe iDEAL. Chargebee allows you to configure and process iDeal payments with Stripe seamlessly. This enhances your business opportunity in Netherlands.
To configure Stripe iDEAL, you must have an account with Stripe and should have configured Stripe SEPA. This is because, Stripe iDEAL is generally used to make one time payments. In a subscription business, you will be charging your customers on a recurring basis. Therefore Chargebee handles recurring scenarios by converting all the recurring transactions after the first payment as Direct Debit SEPA payments.
Note
In order to receive Direct Debit emails for this integration, enable Enable Direct Debit emails for Chargebee on the Configure Stripe page.
It is a regulatory compliance of the SEPA scheme to send emails to customers regarding mandate creation and payment pre-notification. You can send this email either from Chargebee or Stripe. The advantage of sending this email from Chargebee is that it allows you to configure elements such as your company logo, signature etc. If this option is not enabled, Chargebee requests Stripe to send direct-debit emails. Contact Chargebee Support if you want to stop sending direct-debit emails from Stripe. Learn more.
Note
Here is a sample workflow that you can build in your checkout.
Stripe iDEAL can be used to make the payment only once. Chargebee handles recurring scenarios by converting all the recurring transactions as Direct Debit SEPA payments. Therefore, it is important that you inform this to your customers during Checkout.
