Example Descriptions

For details about the above examples, see:

Create an iDEAL transaction with a Marketplace vendor

Create a basic iDEAL transaction with a new shopper

This example shows a basic request with a new shopper whose details are included within payer-info. The return-url property specifies where the shopper should be redirected after they complete the payment. A successful response will include ideal-url, which is the URL you will need to direct the shopper to so they can complete their purchase.

Create an iDEAL transaction with a returning shopper

This example shows a request with a returning shopper whose ID is specified by the vaulted-shopper-id property. Note that the vaulted shopper must have a saved country of nl. The request includes issuer-id, which specifies the shopper's selected bank. This tells BlueSnap that the bank selection step can be skipped later in checkout - the shopper will be directed straight to their bank portal. Additionally, the request includes language, which specifies how the pages should be translated.

Create an iDEAL transaction with a Marketplace vendor

This example shows a request with a Marketplace vendor whose ID is specified by vendor-id. Additional vendors can be added to the transaction by including another vendor-info container within vendors-info.
