In short, a payment provider is an intermediary that processes payments between your webshop and your customer. They ensure secure and fast processing of online payments. With a payment provider, your online shoppers can easily pay with iDEAL, credit card, or PayPal. Most webshops and websites use a payment provider to offer different payment methods and to process payments.

As an entrepreneur, you want to arrange payments quickly and easily. But linking directly to banks and payment methods such as iDEAL or credit cards? That's technically complicated and subject to numerous rules. This is where a payment provider comes in. They arrange the connections with banks, ensure secure transactions, and take the hassle out of your hands. No separate contracts with each payment method, no technical headaches. Just one place where everything comes together. Whether you run a webshop or offer services, a payment provider ensures that customers can pay effortlessly. And you? You have time left over to grow your business.

The costs vary depending on the provider and payment method. In addition to the costs for using a particular payment method, you will usually always pay a fixed transaction fee (processing fee). For the iDEAL payment method, you often pay between €0.29 and €0.35 per transaction. Credit card payments usually cost between 1.8% and 2.9% of the purchase amount. For PayPal payments, you can easily pay 2.5%-3.5%. In addition to a payment method fee, most providers also charge a fixed transaction fee and sometimes connection or monthly costs. It is wise to compare the different rates carefully. Choose what suits your expected turnover and number of transactions, but don't focus solely on the costs. The number of payment methods, speed of payouts, accessibility, and available, useful integrations (such as a link to your accounting package) are also important factors to consider. Use the free provider selector to compare providers and request quotes quickly.

Yes, you can. Some merchants combine payment providers to secure the best rates or offer a wider range of payment methods. For example, you can use Mollie for iDEAL and credit cards, and Klarna separately for Buy Now Pay Later. Some e-commerce platforms, such as Shopify and WooCommerce, make it easy to integrate multiple payment providers.

The most popular online payment methods in the Netherlands are iDEAL, credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, and Buy Now Pay Later (Klarna, Afterpay). Apple Pay and Google Pay are also becoming increasingly popular, but mainly on mobile phones and tablets. In Belgium, Bancontact is a popular payment method. International customers often pay by credit card or PayPal. The more options you offer, the more likely it is that customers will be able to choose their preferred method. If you want to find out which international and local payment methods are best to offer in each country, go to 'payment methods per country'.

iDEAL is the most commonly used payment method in the Netherlands. Credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, American Express), PayPal, and Buy Now Pay Later (e.g., Klarna) are also crucial for higher conversion rates. Apple Pay and Google Pay are growing in popularity, especially among mobile users. Read more about the 'popular online payment methods in the Netherlands'.

Buy Now Pay Later (via Klarna, Afterpay, or Riverty) offers customers the option to receive the product first and pay later (in instalments). This lowers barriers and can increase conversion. As a business owner, you are usually paid immediately, but the transaction fees are higher than for iDeal or credit card payments, for example. The use of a post-payment method, such as Klarna or Riverty, is particularly popular for higher purchase amounts and clothing websites.

Apple Pay is Apple's digital wallet, allowing customers to pay easily and securely using their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Before customers can use Apple Pay, they must add a digital version of their debit or credit card to the Apple Pay wallet. Consumers can use Apple Pay to pay in shops and restaurants, as well as for online purchases. Paying with Apple Pay speeds up the checkout process and increases conversion rates for online purchases on mobile devices. Many payment service providers, such as Mollie and Stripe, support Apple Pay as a payment method. With a single contract and easy webshop integration, you can accept Apple Pay alongside other payment methods such as iDeal, credit cards, and Klarna.

SEPA direct debit, credit cards, debit cards (MasterCard and VISA), and PayPal work well for recurring payments. The customer pays the first time, after which your payment provider can ensure that the money is collected or charged to the debit card or credit card. Payment providers such as Mollie, Buckaroo, Adyen, and Stripe offer these payment solutions. Compare and choose the payment provider that suits you best with the free provider selector.

Yes! You can accept cryptocurrency payments in your online shop using providers such as BitPay or Coinbase Commerce. These payment service providers make it easy to process Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. Crypto payments are fast, secure, and work internationally, making them an excellent option for global businesses.

However, there are a few things to bear in mind. The value of cryptocurrency can fluctuate significantly, which means that the amount you receive today may be worth more or less tomorrow. In addition, although crypto is gaining popularity, not all customers trust or use it yet.

If you wish to offer cryptocurrency as a payment option, select a provider that enables direct conversion to stable currencies, such as USD or EUR, to minimize risk.

Integrating a payment provider is easy if you use popular webshop software. Many providers have developed a plug-in that allows you to link your webshop to the provider's payment platform easily. Do you work with WooCommerce, Shopify, or Mijnwebwinkel, for example? Just install the plug-in, adjust the settings, and you'll be up and running within a few hours.*

Is there no plugin available, or do you have a customised webshop and specific requirements for the checkout? Then you probably need an API connection, which your IT department or a web developer will need to implement. This takes a little longer and may cost more, but gives you maximum control over your customers' checkout and payment experience.

* Technical integration alone is not enough. You also need an approved account with the payment provider of your choice. Read more about this under the heading 'Connection'.

Good news: if you have a webshop on a platform like Shopify, WooCommerce, or Wix, you can integrate most payment providers yourself using a ready-made plugin. No code required! Do you have a custom website, or do you want a completely customised payment process? Then you will probably need a developer to create an API link. In short, it depends on your webshop and desired payment process.

Note: In our Provider Selector, we take your situation into account and only match you with payment providers that support a plugin for your specific shop software. In addition to a selection of plugins, each payment provider also offers an API with the necessary support for your IT specialist or web developer to create a payment link quickly.

Think of a plugin as a power strip: you plug it in and it works! Perfect for e-commerce platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce, because you don't need any technical knowledge. An API, on the other hand, is more like loose wires that you have to connect yourself – more flexible, but you usually need a developer to do it. Some webshop software only works with plugins and payment providers certified by them. This limits your choice of payment provider. Other e-commerce packages, such as Magento, allow you to connect via an API in addition to a plugin. Almost every payment provider supports API integration, so you have plenty of choice. Whether you integrate via a plugin or API, therefore, depends on your chosen webshop software, the flexibility you want in the payment checkout, and your technical know-how and budget.

With our Provider Selector, you can quickly find out which payment providers support a plugin for your specific e-commerce software.

Would you like to receive payments in your webshop? Then you basically go through three steps. First, you choose a payment provider and create an account or start a contract request. You then go through a mandatory screening – a check on your company and identity. The speed at which screening takes place varies depending on the payment provider and the company. Once everything has been approved, you integrate the payment provider into your webshop: via a plugin (for WooCommerce, Shopify, etc.) or via an API if you need customisation. Test a payment, and your webshop is ready to accept payments.

Payment providers are required to prevent fraud and money laundering. This is called 'Know Your Business' (KYC) and is a legal obligation. Payment providers check your company details, the identity of the owner(s), and often your website or products. This may take some time, but once everything is in order, you will be able to receive payments quickly. Some payment providers, such as Mollie and Stripe, have developed a digital 'onboarding' process that makes the screening process easier and faster.

That depends on the payment provider and your business situation. The acceptance procedure typically takes a few days or a few weeks, but in some cases, it may take longer or shorter. You will usually need to provide some information, such as your Chamber of Commerce registration, UBO information, and proof of identity. Some providers approve everything very quickly, while others take their time and perform additional checks, for example, on your webshop or products. If your webshop offers digital products or subscriptions, for example, it may take longer. Don't worry, as long as you provide everything correctly, you will often be ready to receive payments within a few days. With providers such as Mollie and Stripe, you can accept payments immediately under certain restrictions (including selected payment methods and a cap on turnover). However, you must complete all checks before the provider pays this turnover into your account.

That depends on the payment provider. Each provider has its own acceptance policy regarding what you can and cannot sell. Some products or services are assessed more strictly. Illegal items are obviously a no-go, but sectors with a high risk of fraud or money laundering – such as gambling sites, CBD products, or ticket sales – are often less likely to be accepted, or only with additional conditions.

Do you have a new business or low turnover? Then they will look at you more critically. Are you unsure whether your product or service will be accepted? Ask the payment provider. Most will quickly let you know whether you have a good chance of being accepted. Some providers ask you to go through an application and screening procedure before they make a decision.
