When using iDEAL payment method, an additional step is required to the buyer before being sent to the third-party processor: to choose their bank from a list of participating banks.

Merchants can embed this step in their websites, in order to manage the payment method choice and provide their buyers with the same experience of direct connections to the third party processors.

This can be done through a feature called “Payment Type Detail”.

Merchants are free to use this option or not: if they do not use it and they simply set <paymentType>S2PIDE</paymentType> in their call to Encrypt method of WsCryptDecrypt web service, then the buyer will find in Fabrick Payment Orchestra a page where it will choose its bank among those available for that kind of payment.

Merchants who want to use “Payment Type Detail” for iDEAL, must be able to show to their buyers the list of the banks available for that kind of payment.

They can store the list of those banks in their local storage and keep it updated by periodically calling the methodsCallIdealListS2S of WsS2S web service.

These methods will return a list of banks in the following way:

1<BankList> 
2  <Bank>
3    <BankCode>Code0001</BankCode>
4    <BankName>Name of Bank 1</BankName> 
5  </Bank>
6  ... 
7  <Bank>
8    <BankCode>Code0000N</BankCode>
9    <BankName>Name of Bank N</BankName> 
10  </Bank>
11</BankList>

Since the list of the banks partecipating to iDEAL is not changing very quickly, a weekly update is suggested.

The update should consist of a complete replacement of each list with the new values returned by WsS2S web service.

The merchant page should show the list of the BankNames and use the corresponding BankCode.

The BankCode must be used for paymentTypeDetail tag, while calling the Encrypt method of WsCryptDecrypt web service, as a value for IdealBankCode, depending on the payment method. For example, for an iDEAL transaction for which the buyer has chosen “Name of Bank X”, the merchant should call encrypt method with, among the others, these values:

1...
2<paymentTypes>
3  <paymentType>S2PIDE</paymentType> 
4</paymentTypes>
5<paymentTypeDetail> 
6  <IdealBankCode>Code0000Y</IdealBankCode>
7</paymentTypeDetail> 
8...
