Hi there,
I made a website for a client via wix, to rent out his apartment in the Netherlands. I used wix hotels for the bookings. The website is completely done.
But now I want to connect ideal. (which is a dutch e-commerce payment system)
Ideal is supported for wix stores. But it’s there is not yet a connection for Wix Hotels.
Because 90% of the Netherlands uses Ideal it’s verry important to make sure people can pay on the website with Ideal.
So is there a way to make this connection? Maybe via stripe, Mollie or another payment provider.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Wiljan
Thanks a lot for the information! Verry helpful.
I probably will use an other booking system with an iframe.

Wiljan is using Wix Hotels, not Wix Bookings. Unless things have changed, Wix Hotels is regarded a legacy app and receives no more updates. It has no Velo API it's a closed environment.
I have worked with Wix Hotels for several years and the only (ugly) approach I see possible is this (but please Wiljan, investigate first):
1) add Wix-pay to your license. Wix Pay should support IDeal
2) Wix Hotels sends out 2 emails on a new reservation, 1 to client, 1 to hotel owner
3)set an Inbox polling (listener) on that email Inbox (Zapier has one, so has Integromat/Make). If it's a gmail account, this possibilty has been stripped a year ago, but there is documentation on Integromat/Make how to autorize this listening manually
4) use a Zapier/Integromat html-parser to retrieve relevant data from the hotel owner email
5)with this data, create new email to client (so he will receive 2) with a link to a Wix Pay page on the same site
I investigated this a long time ago, and there was something that was blocking this, possibly that the email to the hotel did not hold enough info, but that I do not remember, so please investigate first.
In short, it's not possible with Wix Hotels or the link Wiljan provided, Wix Hotels is Velo agnostic. The only possible way is what I described ( client receives 2 emails, 1 saying "thanks for reservation, you will receive second email with payment info" and 2 saying "you can pay using Banktransfer (example), credit card or iDeal. In this case, click here" with link to Wix-Pay page.
Not beautiful, but it could work.
Hope this helps.
So, I found an article from stripe to accept IDEAL with some coding: www.stripe .com/docs/payments/ideal/accept-a-payment?platform=web is this possible in Wix? Thanks in advance!
