iDEAL 2.0

Mollie payment provider has by now communicated that some users need action in the area of custom integrations or webshop plug-ins. The reason for this communication is to ensure a seamless payment experience for your own customers.
It has been communicated to remove the ‘user selection’ from your own checkout and to do this no later than March 1, 2025.
Notified is that failure to do so may result in a less than optimal payment experience.
It is quite possible that this will disrupt your customization in integrations, purely because this update can affect your own site surroundings.
cciDEAL uses Mollie’s checkout page to process payments and Mollie has already automatically migrated most users to iDEAL 2.0 in July 2024.
If problems are experienced, there are 3 options to execute at once

  1. Update to the latest version of cciDEAL. Visit our Changelog on this page -> https://www.chillcreations.com/manuals/ccideal/changelog-ccideal/
  2. Follow Mollie’s instructions in-> https://help.mollie.com/hc/en-us/articles/19100313768338-iDEAL-2-0/ / https://help.mollie.com/hc/nl/articles/19100313768338-iDEAL-2-0
