| Hello!
I would like to formally ask for IDEAL as a payment method for the Dutch customer's
This payment method is long been the favorite for the majority in the Netherlands.
Currently there seems to be a limitation in Stripe to add this payment method
to instant checkout.
I did search on other topics related to this : but beside one I placed in the
wrong section;
the other topics are quite old.
So please do consider this small change in the stripe platform , it will be of
great benefit for all Dutch sellers and buyers a like.
It's a very safe , trusted, and recognizable payment platform that I'm
positive will also help with onsite instant checkouts (tax collection).
Kind regards

Hi.
I did contact support at stripe.
Basicly it is relatively easy for the people coding the site.
I believe it is most likely even to be turned on with some simple clicks; by
the bricklink account holder on the stripe platform.
On the other platform it is for the middle users "different sellers"
possible to click it on for them selfs if they choose to wanna carry this payment
method.
The big difference in payment setups between the two platforms i use stripe with,
is that this platform has the setting on manual; where the other has the setting
on automated.
For now; if you where to have acces to coding part of the site; it would be possible
to carry ideal as a payment method. I believe the only way for now this could
be done if you have a layover site , but i did not check out the possiblities
for this as im not intrested in a custom layover as a privaye seller.
I do wanna state ; as bricklink is an business, they should implement this asap.
Not only this but other payment methods should be easy to acces as well..
As i stated i very much think its likely a simple (couple) of settings in the
bricklink account holder of stripe.
Kind regards

| Recently i've been again in contact with stripe.
all that needs to happen for sellers to start using other payment methods:
- the holder of the account for bricklink(administrator account) has to log in.
- switch on wich payments methods are also to be accepted/processed through stripe.
- if these settings are problematic ; there 24/7 customer service is amazing..
This enables individual sellers to start turning these payments methods on
in their accounts
No excisting changes have to be made in coding.
Bricklink and stripe already are Api connected, so all these extra methods can
come on the fly!
Offered features will instantly be improved as payment methods as alipay wechat
ideal
and more, are available
Also i would like to add the note that a catalog merge is way more complex then
this.
By now people have been requesting these addional payment methods for years,
left and right.
Way longer that i have been here, thats for sure.
since bricklink is still the number one marketplace for our hobby. It's a
good business practice to watch what competition does offer, and they can see
they do accept these trusted methods.
Best of wishes.

| They were trying to do exactly this some 4-5 years ago, they actually told me
they were. Somehow, they failed.
One thing though that we can not accuse Bricklink of is being greedy. The day
they'd enable iDeal, they themselves would already save a ton of money on
PayPal fees on fee payments Dutch sellers. Add Klarna for Belgium, Swish for
Sweden, etc.... and you're getting tons of extra revenue every year without
having to do anything extra for it. I guess there's nobody in the decision
making chain who actually wants Bricklink to earn more.

| True, i did not even realise the extra (free) money generation for bricklink
this brings.
Also it is stated across forums lately that bricklink is a market before a catalog..
Viewing through a markets perspective, not having these methods to accept payment
feels off.
Also Ideal and other payment methods are not accepted at lego themselves.
So i do suspect getting even small changes done has to go through so many corporate
levels
That makes the process most likely very slow..
Well i figured if one seller with forum spams can accumulate into a actual change
be it in policy.. we just gotta dig in and hold on..
I do hope this wont have to go to an day 365 or beyond asking for ideal and other
payment methods for stripe though..
See ya tomorrow

Asking every day for something might work for kids, it doesn't work for adults.😉
There are some Dutch stores which offer Ideal through Stripe.

Apparently they use a program called Bricqer and can invoice with a link to pay
by IDEAL, Bancontact, SOFORT banking, Giropay, EPS, Przelewy24.

| Yup, it's just wild how the only 2 e-commerce sites that I know that don't
have iDeal are Bricklink.com and Lego.com. And somehow they found each other
It's 2024. Why are they so stuck on offsite payments? Who sends bank transfers
anyway? Not even private trading places like Marktplaats rely on manual offsite
payments anymore. It's increasingly strange, and soon it will even seem suspicious
to new members.
Probably Lego.com doesn't care about or need the Dutch market. People are
better off buying sets in stores rather than waiting for an invoice and then
hope Lego will spot the bank transfer in a reasonable timeframe. If people buy
in stores, Lego still wins, so that makes sense. But Bricklink?

No, but yes, in that Ideal is for what, one Country?
No one here has ever seen Ideal here, and we're neighbours.
In France BNP has a local payment system also. So the, BrickLink would implement
a different payment method PER Country?
Sorry, but it's impossible.
Apart this, Stripe DO accept zillions of payment modes, including Cryptos and
Ideal IIRC?
The problem is that it must be accepted and set up by BrickLink. Right now, Stripe
on site is VERY limited to maybe 1 or 2 payment modes, that could be changed.

Yes. Why run a Dutch version of the lego site at all then? Why translate the
whole site, for just what, one country? (well, two) Either you do business somewhere
or you don't. Sending people emails with manual payment instructions is just
silly. They actually check all those payments manually and it's a ton of
work for them, they told me on the phone more than once. Keep in mind Dutch people
do not have credit cards or debit cards with card numbers like you guys do.

Not implement, just check the box in Stripe. BrickOwl did it. I did it in my
own webshop. I get Klarna payments without even knowing what Klarna is. Stripe
supports a ton of methods. You just need to check the box and that's it.
Would you like more buyers from the Netherlands? Just enable iDeal and they will
increase instantly. You don't ever have to know what iDeal even is or how
it looks or works.
And the neat thing: iDeal takes no percentage fee, just a fixed €0.29. The sellers
and Bricklink itself will 1. save money on the PayPal fees and 2. attract a lot
more Dutch users, as PayPal is really not popular or well known here, and again,
card payment is not possible for the vast majority of Dutch residents.

|
Not implement, just check the box in Stripe. BrickOwl did it. I did it in my
own webshop. I get Klarna payments without even knowing what Klarna is. Stripe
supports a ton of methods. You just need to check the box and that's it.
Would you like more buyers from the Netherlands? Just enable iDeal and they will
increase instantly. You don't ever have to know what iDeal even is or how
it looks or works.
And the neat thing: iDeal takes no percentage fee, just a fixed €0.29. The sellers
and Bricklink itself will 1. save money on the PayPal fees and 2. attract a lot
more Dutch users, as PayPal is really not popular or well known here, and again,
card payment is not possible for the vast majority of Dutch residents.

Card payments in France make up 52% of the French transactions:
https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1218504/online-payments-breakdown-france.jpg
While making up 8% of Dutch transactions. Very few people have a credit card
and our debit cards usually do not have numbers:

And if store numbers are a fair indication, the NL is a bigger presence on Bricklink
than France is (1214 against 629). It's just an instant traffic boost for
all sellers who have Dutch customers.

Well we do have a disproportionally large seller's mentality "my old
left sandal? as good as new, just one strap missing? oh, I could EASILY sell
that on the Kingsday market for at least €5! This old comic book I found in the
attic? It must be a super excusive collector's item! If I describe it like
that on Marktplaats I'm sure I can catch at least €100!"

IDEAL is coming to France, Belgium and Germany soon enough. It's the base
for a new online payment system to compete with Paypal in EU. The name might
change though.

Agreed with everything - but why would BrickLink better implement a specific
Country payment method, than more generic other one(s)?
And IIRC, Ideal is possible with Stripe? Or something has to be set up by BrickLink
to make it accepted? As I said in another post...
But I can't deny it'd be easier for you guys, no problem with that.

Yeah, if the one you mentioned is worth adding too (considering how many people
use it vs what it'd cost to implement), then definitely. I think as a rule
of thumb, in each country Bricklink does business, it should just offer the #1
payment method (or maybe top 3 payment methods if possible) that people expect
to find when they go online shopping. Wouldn't be surprised if there are
payment methods in the Asian market that are really important there but we/I
don't know about.
The neat thing about Stripe is that it offers so many. People were mentioning
Swish here the other day, seems Stripe has it too. The way Stripe does it - offer
everything and funnel it all into one account, acting as a total black box to
the account owner, is awesome IMO. And probably the way forward.

Yep, 100% agree with this; Stripe is VERY conveniently accepting many payment
methods.

Well its not just about ideal really at this point, there are more easy to implement
options with stripe available; some more local then others..
Im glad the discussion for it is rolling though.
As a seller mostly myself, i dont even get any benefits for it.
It is just a extra service for mine and also other sellers stores towards the
ever changing needs of customers.
For the times i do buy here, as well as on Lego store i would love to pay with
iDeal over paypal. Simply because it is my most used method for close to a decade.
Germans, french, us, and more they all have different go to methods supported
by stripe.
But im glad the ball is rolling,
For those who truely where concerned of a daily forum spam;
I do hope u realise i have more to do in life then actual make an "daily"
forum dedication, the point was that this should be rolling for the benefit of
buyers, bricklink ,and sellers alike..

Most U.S. buyers are limited to just PayPal and Stripe due to sales tax collection.
Many U.S. buyers would love some more flexibility, but BrickLink hasn't indicated
any intention to add more onsite payment methods in the future.
Both PayPal and Stripe allow you to pay with a card, but that only works if the
card has the number written on it.
I do believe BrickLink has a lot of potential, but, for whatever reason (lack
of interest/investment from the LEGO Group), they don't seem to be taking
advantage of it.

Th other methods suggested are within Stripe, so tax collection would work the
same.

For cards that don't have that info printed it is usually available in the

Every Dutch bank works with iDeal . Every Duch buyer can simply use it.
I did not have a PayPal account before I needed it for BrickLink. I still don't
like using this odd intermediate, when applications like iDeal are so much more
convenient.

IDEAL offers zero protection, because its just a bank transfer. Handy, but no
different from an IBAN payment. PayPal still offers the best protection. Maar
het is moeilijk om de ingebakken gewoontes van een Nederlander te veranderen.

Hi there folks.
Its been a while and a bit.
But as of now, by the looks of it:
additional payment methods seem to be activated within stripe.
Please have a look in my store and see if there are these payment methods active:
IDEAL
GIROPAY
Also check out if these payment methods are widely active among bricklink stores.
By logging into stripe, search for payment methods or navigate to settingpayment
Here can you check and or turn on addional payment methods.
By the looks of it:
Thank you for opening this up bricklink.
Looking forward to hear from stores if these are widely active.
Kind regards
FamilyBuilds

| Walking through the Instant Checkout process in your shop brings me as far as
'Credit/Debit via Stripe'. No sign of Ideal of Giropay, I can't see

As said in PM with FamilyBuild, you CAN define new and other payment methods
in Stripe (I tried) - like Alipay or Apple Pay, IDEAL, but as BrickLink only
requests/authorize VISA payments, those other payment methods are simply ignored
here.
