Automatically process recurring payments

Paytium also supports recurring payments, even for iDEAL payments. Setup a simple subscription, ask customers to pay once to confirm, and see how the next payments come into your bank account automatically.

Yes, recurring payments also work with iDEAL payments! When iDEAL is used for the first payment, the next (automatic) payments are processed with SEPA direct debit (automatische incasso). Read more in the recurring payments for WordPress manual.

What’s the big deal about iDEAL?

Paytium supports almost all Mollie payment methods, including iDEAL but excluding Klarna. But iDEAL is a little special to Paytium, because it’s Dutch (and so is Paytium’s developer).

The payment method iDEAL is a Dutch payment method supported by almost all Dutch banks. It allow’s Dutch consumers to pay easily via the online banking app or the banks website. iDEAL is the most popular payment method in the Netherlands, and 60% of Dutch consumers prefer iDEAL over other payment methods like PayPal. iDEAL is a semi-automated direct online transfer from the consumers bank account to your Mollie account/bank account.

Even though iDEAL is the most popular payment method in the Netherlands, other payment methods like PayPal are becoming more popular. Our advice is to always accept at least iDEAL as payment method in your payment forms, but also enable all other payment methods that are available via Mollie. Consumers like to make payments in their favourite payment method, so it’s best to just allow them to make the payments in anyway they like.

A nice thing to know about iDEAL, is that iDEAL payments can not be refunded by consumers. This is of course possible with PayPal or credit card payments. Some businesses see this a big benefit for iDEAL, but consumers off course see this as a limitation. But with good communication between you and your consumers/customers, this shouldn’t be a problem for iDEAL payments. You, as a Mollie user, can refund iDEAL payments via the Mollie dashboard. It’s just that consumers can’t initiate the refund.
