Testing

Make sure to test iDEAL payments on your store first before going live.

By default, Stripe API is in Test mode, allowing you to place orders using demo cards to test payments.

🔔 Note: We recommend using the “Test Mode (For administrators)” for testing. This enables test mode for admin users only; while shoppers remain in Live mode.

Try placing an order to test this payment method. On the checkout page, select iDEAL.

Select the ‘iDEAL’ payment option, then choose your preferred bank and place the order.

Select iDEAL and place the order on the checkout page

You’ll see the iDEAL test payment page because your store is currently in the test mode.

Here, you’ll get two options: Authorize Test Payment and Fail Test Payment.

If you choose to authorize test payment, you will be redirected to the thank you page.

That’s how easily you can test the WooCommerce iDEAL gateway. 

Once you’ve set everything up and tested your payments, we recommend you switch to live mode.

You can do this by going to the WooCommerce Settings ⇨ Payments tab.

Continue to Stripe API Settings and change the mode to admin only test or live mode. This way, you can capture real transactions from customers in your store.

Save the changes once done.

This is how you can set up and test iDEAL payment method in WooCommerce with FunnelKit Pay.
