Hi, I recently tried to donate but it turned out i couldn't. I have no credit card and Paypal has been like shit to me as far as i can tell. So, what about IDEAL? I really like this payment option, and i hope others do as well. Any chance it is going to be there in the not so far future?
Hello, It was my assumption that the donation bit was working using Paypal, i'll have to try it myself and confirm (I didn't go all the way through). As far as IDEAL is concerned, I've never heard of it but I can have a look at the plugins available.
IDEAL is the most used dutch online payment system. Basically every site/application that is active in the netherlands has it. So it shouldnt be too complicated altough I cant say for sure since I never looked into it.
If I'm not mistaken it costs money to be able to offer IDEAL as a company. For LZ it would probably not be profitable to have IDEAL, but I could be wrong.
I think that matters little for whether or not we have to pay for it. It might even mean we can't use it at all.
though non-profit organisations often save african children or kittens. they're receiving donations for being able to make 300 hungry kittens happy. we're not really saving gamers by hosting servers, website and such, so i doubt we would make the exception if they ever implement it. ;D
http://ideal.nl/?lang=eng-GB have a look... its just a contract I believe. and don't forget, SEPA is coming somewhere (european version of iDeal)
Okay so it seems you need to request it at each bank separately. It seems like an easy enough process. I'll read through it carefully tomorrow and if all the Staff/TC people agree I'll try to make it happen for as many banks as possible.
I think what is intended is that you (the "merchant") apply for iDeal at your own bank (where the account is that the money goes to). No need for applying at each bank. But thats what I think.... would be strange to have to apply to all 5-6 banks to support each of them... But I'd work out first if you can support iDeal... b4 applying and then not having a not working plugin for it etc. but I didn't read it all thru tho...
Very good idea, so if we want to host a trade event, we have items to trade with Or any other event, so we have prices.
Dont forget that i work at a bank where they use ideal too, but i cant make any "nice helps" the thing is, you come to the point where you use a merchant like mollie (https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/ideal/) which basicly means you dont have to pay for anything BUT per transaction they ask 99 cents ex. Which means on 10 donations they earn 10 euro's. If you would "assume" we have 5 dollar donations, that means its 40 euro's (even less with taxes) instead of 50. And yes SEPA is coming, but that just means SEPA will be introduced within Ideal when it comes to our country. Its all a matter of your IBAN code which changes. Everyone will get one which makes it easier possible to automaticly deduct money from your account from a vendor in germany or any other country in europe once you agree to it.
And ofcourse I already asked snelvuur if that's an option. Snelvuur didn't say anything yet about it. Be we should consider it indeed. I could easily make this work. But we will see.
