## How iDEAL works

The iDEAL online payment process follows these steps:

1. Your consumer selects iDEAL as their preferred method of payment from your payment page.

2. You initiate a POST request to the /payments endpoint to submit the payment to iDEAL. Ensure paymentMethodType is set to ideal.

3. The Online Payments API returns the bank selection redirect URL to you in the response data.

4. You return the bank selection URL to your consumer's browser.

5. Your consumer selects their bank from the list or scans a QR code.
  1. When a bank is selected, your website redirects to the online banking page for the consumer to authorize the payment.
  2. When a QR code is scanned, the consumer authorizes the payment with their mobile banking app.

6. The consumer's bank returns payment status information to J.P. Morgan.

7. J.P. Morgan sends payment status notifications to you through webhook notifications. Refer to the [Notifications API](/docs/commerce/optimization-protection/capabilities/notifications/index) for additional information.

8. When you receive a successful payment status notification, final payment confirmation is complete.
