New Payment Method in Freemius Checkout: iDEAL for Netherlands

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of a new payment method for buyers from the Netherlands: iDEAL. iDEAL is the most popular payment method in the Netherlands, and since we have many buyers from the NL, it has been on our radar for quite some time. Today, we are rolling out support in a gradual manner.

Freemius Checkout now supports iDEAL payment

Currently, if you’re using the hosted Checkout from Freemius and your product is set to the EUR currency, you will notice that iDEAL is both enabled and selected by default for buyers coming from the Netherlands. Buyers can, of course, still choose between Credit Card and PayPal payment options.

To boost conversions from the Netherlands, we suggest that you set up your product pricing in EUR currency. Once you do that, Freemius will handle the rest — automatically displaying the iDEAL payment option and selecting EUR as the default currency based on the buyer’s geo-location.

Please give this feature a try and let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions!

Depending on demand, we will soon roll out support for modal Checkout and other areas, such as payment method updates and our WordPress SDK embedded Checkout. Stay tuned.
