Is there any update on adding the iDeal payment option to Webflow's e-commerce function for customers in The Netherlands, where 85% of payments are made using iDeal?
TL;DR
- Webflow doesn't natively support iDEAL, and its Stripe integration excludes regional payment options like iDEAL.
- To use iDEAL, embed third-party checkout tools like Snipcart or Foxy.io that support it via Stripe, and manage e-commerce outside Webflow.
Webflow currently does not support iDEAL as a native e-commerce payment option, and there has been no official announcement of upcoming support for iDEAL as of 2024.
1. Webflow’s Native Payment Integration
- Webflow e-commerce currently only supports Stripe and PayPal as payment gateways.
- Although Stripe itself supports iDEAL as a payment method, Webflow’s Stripe integration does not expose iDEAL or other regional payment methods through its checkout interface.
2. Workarounds via Third-Party Solutions
- Some users have implemented external checkout flows using platforms like Snipcart, Shopify Buy Button, or Foxy.io, all of which support regional payment methods like iDEAL via Stripe.
- This requires embedding or linking to those platforms’ checkout flows from your Webflow site, which bypasses Webflow's native e-commerce system.
- Be aware that this approach means managing products and orders outside of Webflow.
3. Request & Upvote on Webflow Wishlist
- You can upvote the request for iDEAL support on the Webflow Wishlist.
- Webflow uses this platform to prioritize feature development based on user demand.
Summary
Webflow does not currently support iDEAL payments natively, even though Stripe (its payment partner) does. To use iDEAL, you’ll need to integrate a third-party tool like Foxy.io or Snipcart. Keep an eye on the Webflow Wishlist for any future updates.
