Introduction

iDEAL is a reliable and secure e-payment solution, which enables customers to pay by instant bank transfer. Customers can make payments either with a mobile banking app or by using the online banking environment of their own bank.

iDEAL holds the market leading position for online payment methods in the Netherlands, and is supported by all major Dutch banks.

Payment (Deposit) Flow

If you wish to perform a payout transaction in the future, you will need to use the same userTokenId and userPaymentOptionId values that are generated in this payment transaction.

Follow these steps to perform a payment using Nuvei REST API integration:

1. Generate a sessionToken

Press here for details.

2. Send a /payment Request

Perform the payment by sending a /payment request with its mandatory parameters including:

  • userTokenId
  • amount
  • currency
  • paymentOption.alternativePaymentMethod class containing:
    • paymentMethod: “apmgw_iDeal“
    • BIC – Customer’s bank name. Not mandatory for iDEAL 2.0 flow.
  • deviceDetails class containing: ipAddress
  • billingAddress class containing: firstName, lastName, email, country
  • userDetails class containing: firstName, lastName, email, country

Marketplace merchants must also include the marketplace addendum with its mandatory parameters, including subMerchantId. With certain providers, if the request includes subMerchantName, Nuvei sends it to the provider as the point of sale, up to 50 characters. Otherwise, Nuvei sends subMerchantId.

Example /payment Request
{
  "sessionToken":"<sessionToken from /getSessionToken>",
  "merchantId":"<your merchantId>",
  "merchantSiteId":"<your merchantSiteId>",
  "clientRequestId":"<unique request ID in merchant system>",
  "amount":"200",
  "currency":"EUR",
  "userTokenId":"<unique customer identifier in merchant system>",
  "clientUniqueId":"<unique transaction ID in merchant system>",
  "paymentOption":{
    "alternativePaymentMethod":{
      "paymentMethod":"apmgw_iDeal",
      "BIC":"<bank name>"
    }
  },
  "deviceDetails":{
    "ipAddress":"<customer's IP address>"
  },
  "billingAddress":{
    "firstName":"John",
    "lastName":"Smith",
    "email":"[email protected]",
    "country":"NL"
  },
  "userDetails":{
    "firstName":"John",
    "lastName":"Smith",
    "email":"[email protected]",
    "country":"NL"
  },
  "timeStamp":"<YYYYMMDDHHmmss>",
  "checksum":"<calculated checksum>"
}

The response generates and returns a redirect URL (redirectUrl) to redirect the customer to the payment page, as well as a UPO (userPaymentOptionId) for use in future transactions.

Example /payment Response
{
  "orderId":"350728608",
  "userTokenId":"Johnsmith01",
  "paymentOption":{
    "redirectUrl":"https://gw-apm-globalpayapi.nuvei.com/Home?PaymentToken=B21D7637BE0E42610920EB59833AEC0F.15101944",
    "userPaymentOptionId":"86068558",
  },
  "transactionStatus":"REDIRECT",
  "sessionToken":"1b72ddb6-f451-4aa5-b166-ce10dfd530cd",
  "clientUniqueId":"20180327175242",
  "internalRequestId":593943808,
  "status":"SUCCESS",
  "errCode":0,
  "reason":"",
  "merchantId":"2439523627382132721",
  "merchantSiteId":"224428",
  "version":"1.0",
  "clientRequestId":"20230117061727"
}

After the transaction is processed, Nuvei sends a Direct Merchant Notification (DMN) that includes the result of the transaction to the URL provided in urlDetails.notification, which Nuvei recommends including in the /payment request.

Payout (Withdrawal) Flow

You have two options to perform a payout:

  • Use the apmgw_iDeal UPO for processing the payouts as described below.
  • Collect account details from the deposit and use them via another payment method such as SEPA Payouts; for example, take the IBAN from the DMN and create a SEPA Payouts /payout request.

A payout can only be performed after userTokenId and  userPaymentOptionId were generated from a previous payment transaction.

Send a /payout request and include the userPaymentOptionId, which contains the user’s previously stored APM account details. Press here for an example.

After the transaction is processed, Nuvei sends a DMN that includes the result of the transaction to the URL provided in urlDetails.notification, which Nuvei recommends including in the /payout request.

Presentation

  • The iDEAL payment method must be presented in the list of payment methods in such a way that it receives at least the same amount of attention as other payment methods.
  • The iDEAL logo can be found here: https://www.ideal.nl/bedrijven/logos/ and it should be used according to the manual: https://www.ideal.nl/cms/files/Handleiding_iDEAL_logo.pdf
    • In cases where the iDEAL logo cannot be displayed at the required size on a mobile device, the mandatory free space of 15px around the logo may be reduced to accommodate the requirements of the mobile device.
  • If merchant has the iDEAL bank’s selection in place on its own environment, the following rules apply:
    • After selection by the Consumer of the bank, the Consumer should be immediately redirected to the Issuer redirectURL.
    • All iDEAL banks must be shown in a list (e.g. dropdown list or list of radio buttons) in alphabetic order.
    • The list should be accompanied by the instruction phrase “Kies uw bank” (UK: “Choose your bank”). In case of an HTML <SELECT>, the first element in the list states this instruction phrase and is selected by default (to prevent accidental bank selection).
    • It is not allowed to exclude or grey out any active banks from the banks list. When a new bank is added, the banks list must be updated within one month (preferably earlier).
    • The merchant may preselect a bank, but only to allow for an improved user experience (e.g. if the Consumer has previously initiated an iDEAL payment with a specific bank selected).
    • The Consumer must however always be offered the possibility to alter the preselected bank.
