IDeal payment option
Added by
Osakadows It is tricky for the dutch to obtain credit cards becouse our banks demand a high salery. So in general they pay with Ideal Steam has started allowing IDeal Perhaps gog should follow
TheRie +1. I just tried to buy a couple games and I noticed there is no iDEAL option anymore.
W3irdN3rd Same problem here. I used iDeal to get a PaySafeCard to use on GOG. It's a bit cumbersome but it works.
JClosed iDeal is completely gone and I am forced to use PayPal. This is VERY inconvenient, and I would like to see iDeal returned as fast as possible!!!
TheQuickFox iDeal is gone for some reason. Please restore it.
drulethan Ideal still doesn't work. Gog closed my ticket.
Sisirani Hello, Ideal payment doesn't work..
vargad88 Would be great to support iDeal payment. It used to work, but now I can't select iDeal and I have no other way to pay online.
frontliner2 Ok. not unhappy anymore because;
*SOLUTION*
Switch to EURO in the bottom left of the browser! :)
frontliner2 Very unhappy that I can't make the purchase because ideal doesnt work.
Axeslammer On the bottom of the page you can set language.....and *currency*.
Once I changed currency from USD to EUR....ideal appeared :)
Kira-Elea Oh yeahhss! Full IDEAL support is in the house!
Thank you GOG! You made a happy camper (and a happy dungeon keeper, master of magic and settler) here!
Excuse me, i now have to split my self into several pieces, three of which will now try to play 3 games simultaneously, another will dance through the room like an idiot and start running through the streets yelling yes yes yes, and yet another will go to any holy place it can find to praise whatever god they have there :P
LOL i might even buy NWN diamond just to save me the hassle of juggling all those cd's i still have :D
gogtrial34987 It's the bottom option on the checkout page. Presumably they do country detection based on IP to determine which payment methods they offer. For me, the list is: * credit/debit card, * paypal, * paysafecard, * sofort, *webmoney, * ideal
(ideal doesn't include an icon yet)
nikeltje guys where can i find ideal? i cant find this option is this a joke?
From_Dutch It's done, people! We've got ideal! Just used it and the games are in my library. You're awesome, gog
gogtrial34987 It looks like iDeal was just added?! I at least am now getting it as an option when checking out!
Kira-Elea Be warned- like i wrote before:
Banks will NOT support you if you get into trouble when you use IDEAL through sofort, as they specifically warn you against entering your login info and authentication codes on another form then their own IDEAL form.
While they do not block it, fact remains that if somehow more then you wanted was deducted or your account is misused, you are on your own and liable for any costs the bank incurs, as well as any money deducted from your account.
I would not risk using sofort under these circumstances. Proper IDEAL integration is the only reliable way. And c'mon, even small one-man webshops manage to implement it.....
Thunderdog6000 For anyone who might look at this for answers. Sofort seems to work just like IDEAL(worked for me with Rabobank and scanner), so if you have Rabobank Sofort will probably work for you as well.
Regretr Yes, IDeal would be very handy.
It could help me convince my friends to come to this playground as well.
Avorem Payment using Ideal is very much awaited. I prefer GOG to buy (DRM) games, but having no easy IDeal payment option here usually makes me buy games on Steam in the end.
matema Wanted to buy for 50€ worth of games today, but there was no iDeal payment option. Steam has been using iDeal for a long time. GOG should get up to speed! - now I have to spend my money elsewhere :P
Kira-Elea Yes, please add ideal.
My bank does not support direct paypal payments and having to make 2 'jumps' with my money (first from my account to paypal, then from paypal to here) with all appropriate delays to get it here... its just too much hassle. Sofort works like ideal, but my bank makes it absolutely clear that such payments are not officially approved. They warn against entering my login info on anything but their own page (such as ideal does) and notified me that if any damages or problems occur due to my using sofort.. i'm on my own.
And no, im not changing banks and the attached insurances and other stuff, nor will i ope another account somewhere at high yearly costs just because some gaming platform doesnt add ideal, im weird like that... sorry ;)
So alas, i'd really like to use GOG, as it seems a far friendlier system/company then steam. (apart from the payment options, that is)
But me not being able to pay in a convenient and swift way, kinda breaks the ( I )deal. Too bad, you often have better deals then steam, and even at equal or slightly higher price id prefer GOG, but the way things are, ill just have to wait until steam has a sale, and just give the games i want that you have but steam doesnt a miss for now.
emielboe Wanted to buy Witcher 3 on sale today. Unfortunately GOG doesn't accept straight bank transfer from PayPal. Waiting for iDeal!
Fronko32 Ideal payment would be "ideal" for people to use. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want to get one, only because I want to purchase some games once in a while.
Lethalvriend I voted for this ages ago, in the netherlands most online transactions do go through iDeal and pretty much any big store in the netherlands supports it because it's a userfriendly method of paying online without owning a credit/debitcard. As stated before, Blizzard, Steam, EA and so on all offer iDeal payment methods and I hope one day GoG will too. I'm in a similar boat as others, all my GoG games were free, retail or gog-connected.
JvCooper I havent bought any game yet because of this. And I think a lot more people are missing this option. It would be a win-win if they add it. Hopefully soon!
From_Dutch About 60% of online payments in the Netherlands is done using iDEAL (or so they say). Most other game clients like steam, origin, uplay or battle.net accept ideal payments. Which is why the only games I own on GOG were either free or bought in a retail shop (witcher3). So I feel like GOG is shooting itself in the foot by not supporting this.
I sent them an email about this, they said they'd look into it. So who knows...
j4n123 shame I can´t pay the way I want here, hope it will be added soon.
Bitwarp Trying Gog as a Steam alternative. IDeal payment would tip the balance in Gog's favor.
Drakesilmore Sofort works for me (rabobank, Dutch)
nikeltje if there isnt ideal I cant buy that means you guys of GOG cant get any money from me and I cant get any games from you so please at Ideal as a option
Stirreg Wanted to buy here, but gog.com doesn't accept iDeal so I have to get it from steam unfortunately. Please add this payment option.
SebastiaanV If it gets I deal it would be a great alternative for me to steam....
TheGamesCollector I really hope they'll add this sometime soon.
Aurelia01 Unfortunately sofort does not work with either of my banks (Triodos and Rabobank), luckily i do have a Paypal for this situation, but i do prefer Ideal. Paypal does accept Ideal though, so you could use that as a workaround.
DaanHA please, it`s annoying as hell that I can`t buy games on the gog platform.
Edwins1984 The only reason i don't buy games on GoG is the absence of iDeal.
Hope they can add this some day!
RUTGER_SCHOLS please add ideal. i have seen so much good deals on your client but i cant buy them because i dont have a creditcard or paypal.
nnomis I am only 16 years old so IDeal is the only way to buy games for me.
tjvkooten without ideal i won't be able to buy anything, paypal keeps asking for a credit card. (even with bank account linked) and credit cards cost on average 15 euro a month, which would be a waste...
nennius Set the currency on the website from USD to euro- bottom right corner of the screen. then select sofort as your payment option and you will be able to pay using ideal :)
Ipasd I just tried to buy Sam & Max, only to find out it doesn't have support for iDeal and I'm too young to get a credit card.
DutchGamer1982 just wanted to buy for 100 euro of games...
wanted to checkout...
no option to pay.
Sad Gog.. very sad.
ADD IDEAL!
WallieWallie I'll buy more games when there is iDeal offered on GOG. Now i have to find and ask someone with a credit card to buy it for me.
Jniang I literally have no other option than using Ideal. So if you want my money, give me the option.
arendnijdam When iDeal is offered on GOG I am going to buy games on GOG!
GForceNL1 When iDeal is offered on GOG I am going to buy games on GOG!
stpap IDeal would be an ideal addition! Using SoFort is not an option, it asks for my bank username and password which is something I would never give away to a third party website.
Maniafig I was going to purchase some games, but it turns out there was no easy payment option, they all require a credit/debit card or giving up information to some external source, I bought them on Steam instead since they have iDeal, seems like a waste.
SneakDog I'm missing out on this websitue due to gog not having iDeal. I don't have a creditcard/paypal account and I don't intend to get one solely for gog.
mlodder @hemelskonijn and @landian.
It is very wise to NEVER enter your banking username/password anywhere but on the site of your bank (this is how Ideal works btw). I was very surprised that dutch banks don't warn not to use companies like Sofort.
