Configuration for ABN AMRO Easy

For ABN AMRO Easy there is no automatic order status update! This is a limitation placed by the bank, not by cciDEAL Platform. For this account the bank wants you to check the payment status of the order in your bank account, the iDEAL dashboard or with the official e-mail sent by the bank! If you really need automatic status updates, consider mollie.com.

For testing with ABN AMRO iDEAL EASY, use the PSPID: TESTiDEALEASY

Note: Consider switching to Mollie. With a rate of 29 cents per iDEAL transaction (without one-off or monthly costs), Mollie is one of the cheapest providers of payment services. Switching is easy and can be arranged (including activation) today, see the manual.

Checking the domain name

Before you go any further please read this: For ABN AMRO Easy it’s very important that the domain name, where the iDEAL payments are requested, is 100% equal to the domain name that’s known with ABN AMRO in there system. If this is not the case you will get the following error: unknown order/1/r/

To request the right domain name you have to contact the ABN AMRO iDEAL Helpdesk. You can find the phone number of the ABN AMRO iDEAL Helpdesk on your iDEAL contract. You need to ask them the domain name that’s known in there system. Don’t forget to write down the complete domain name, for example: https://www.chillcreations.com.

Important rules to know and follow:

  • Is your domain name with or without www? Example: Like this https://www.chillcreations.com or this https://chillcreations.com
  • Do you have more domain names? Use the domain name where your customers visit the website or where they make there orders.
  • Do you use the right domain name extension? Do you use .nl, .com or .eu for example?

When you know the exact domain name that’s known by the ABN AMRO you have to be sure that the domain name, where your customers make there iDEAL payments, is exactly the same domain name known by the ABN AMRO.

What you have to do:

  • With for example a .htaccess file you can redirect the domain name without www to the domain name with www. Check the link for an explanation: https://bit.ly/a7EPxW
  • When you have more domain names that you use you’ll need to use it as alias or use a 301 redirection to transfer the traffic to the domain name known by the ABN AMRO

When the domain name where your customers do there iDEAL payments is 100% the same as the domain name known by the ABN AMRO, you should not get the “Unknown order/1/r/” error anymore. If this is the case than you can go on with the configuration of ABN AMRO Easy.
