Update checkout branding, logos, and copy from 'iDEAL' to 'iDEAL | Wero' during Q1 2026 (by March 31, 2026) per Currence/EPI scheme rules — Stripe can deactivate iDEAL on your account if you miss this deadline.
Keep your existing integration as-is: PaymentIntents/Checkout still use payment_method_types: ['ideal'] unchanged during the Q1 2026 rebrand — only the customer-facing name and logo change.
Plan a separate, later migration to actually offer Wero to Dutch buyers, since EPI/Wero begins onboarding Dutch consumers to the Wero rail itself starting Q4 2026, continuing through 2027.
If your business is based in the Netherlands, confirm your checkout clearly displays your KVK company registration number (or the equivalent local registration body if based elsewhere) — this scheme requirement applies alongside the rebrand.
Keep refund handling (up to 180 days after payment) and dispute-free processing unchanged through the transition — iDEAL | Wero payments still can't be charged back by the customer's bank.
Known gotchas
iDEAL was acquired by Wero/EPI; failing to update checkout branding to 'iDEAL | Wero' by March 31, 2026 risks Stripe deactivating iDEAL as a payment option on your account for scheme non-compliance.
The actual Wero payment rail switch is a phased 2026–2027 rollout separate from the branding deadline — don't assume the underlying iDEAL payment mechanics change or disappear right after Q1 2026.
iDEAL | Wero has no dispute/chargeback path for customers, so support processes need to route complaints to direct refund requests rather than dispute tooling.
