iDEAL is a Netherlands-based payment method that allows customers to complete transactions online using their bank credentials. It is the most preferred online payment method in the Netherlands.
In this documentation, we are going to learn about configuring iDEAL via Adyen. Chargebee allows you to configure and process iDEAL payments with Adyen seamlessly. This enhances your business opportunity in Netherlands.
To configure iDEAL via Adyen, you must have an account with Adyen and should have configured SEPA via Adyen. This is because, iDEAL via Adyen is generally used for one time payments. In a subscription business, you charge your customers on a recurring basis. Therefore Chargebee handles recurring scenarios by converting iDEAL payment method to Direct Debit (SEPA) payment method, where the first payment happens via iDEAL and all future recurring payments happen via Direct Debit {SEPA}.
