Im trying to add a Ideal Button to my webshops product page that takes the customer directly to the checkout with the selected product. Shopify has a button for PayPal, but i cant find one for ideal. does anyone know where i can do this or does anyone have some code that can do this.
Topic summary
A user wants to add an iDEAL payment button to their Shopify product page that sends customers directly to checkout with the selected product, similar to the existing PayPal button.
Key Limitation:
Shopify does not allow forcing a specific payment method (like iDEAL) via direct checkout buttons due to security and gateway controls. iDEAL appears automatically at checkout only if Shopify Payments is enabled and the customer’s region/currency supports it (e.g., Netherlands, EUR).
Suggested Workarounds:
- Buy Button Channel: Use Shopify’s Buy Button feature (Sales channels > Buy Button), configure it to redirect to checkout, and embed the code on the product page
- Direct Checkout Link: Create a custom button linking to
/cart/VARIANT_ID:1?checkout(replace VARIANT_ID with the actual product variant ID) - Custom Button Code: Add a styled link in the product template (e.g.,
<a href="/cart/1234567890:1" class="button">Buy with iDEAL</a>) - Third-party Apps: Consider iDEAL-specific payment gateway apps, though these typically still route through standard Shopify checkout
The discussion remains open with offers to help implement these solutions.

one of the easiest way i know is to use Shopify’s Buy Button channel. you can add it from Sales channels > Buy Button, or instead create a button for your product, set it to redirect to checkout, and copy-and-paste the embed code onto your product page.
That button you made will send shoppers straight to the cart and checkout (where iDEAL will appear if you’ve enabled it in your payment settings).
you can also link directly to:
/cart/VARIANT_ID:1?checkout
Swap in your product’s variant ID, style your “iDEAL” button around that link, and it will work
Let me know if you need a hand with either approach!
Hi there 
Great question—what you’re looking for is similar to Shopify’s Buy Now or dynamic checkout buttons, but with a specific focus on iDEAL as the payment method.
Unfortunately, Shopify does not currently allow you to force a specific payment method (like iDEAL) using a direct checkout button due to security and gateway control limitations. The checkout experience is handled by Shopify, and it automatically displays iDEAL if:
You’re using Shopify Payments
The customer’s region and currency support iDEAL (e.g., Netherlands, EUR)
Here’s What You Can Do:#### Option 1: Use a Direct Checkout Link
You can add a custom “Buy Now” button that takes users directly to checkout with the selected product in the cart.
Here’s an example of a direct checkout link:
bash
CopyEdit
/cart/PRODUCTID:1
Replace PRODUCTID with the actual variant ID of your product (you can find this in the URL when editing a product variant).
Add this button code to your product template (usually in product.liquid or main-product.liquid if you’re on Dawn):
liquid
CopyEdit
Note: This won’t force iDEAL, but if iDEAL is available in the region and enabled in Shopify Payments, the customer can select it at checkout.
Option 2: Use a Payment App or Gateway
Some third-party apps or iDEAL-specific gateways might allow more direct control over payment methods, but integration varies and usually still routes through the standard Shopify checkout.
Let me know if you’d like help customizing the button or finding the right variant ID for your products. Happy to assist!
