Wero - vervanger van iDEAL - online betaalmethode webshops

What does this mean for iDEAL?

From the end of January 2026, iDEAL will gradually be replaced by iDEAL by Wero. The migration will take around 6 to 9 months. During this period, both names will appear side by side. By the end of 2027, the iDEAL brand name will disappear entirely and Wero will become the standard.

For webshops, this means that existing iDEAL integrations will need to be updated. Buckaroo supports you throughout this migration, ensuring a smooth transition.

Who is Wero relevant for?

The arrival of Wero impacts almost every sector that processes online payments. From consumer webshops to business platforms: the new payment method offers features that fit different business models. Below is an overview of the key applications.

✔ Webshops (B2C) – secure checkout with payment guarantee

✔ Marketplaces – support for split payments and payouts

✔ Subscriptions & SaaS – options for recurring payments
