Yeah, we had an overwhelming majority of Dutch users using iDEAL to a point that we didn't see any decrease in sales when we had our credit card payment gateway down.

I believe you need to sign up with a Dutch acquirer/CPSP to get iDEAL payments sorted out, so there is an entry barrier for many international shops to accept iDEAL payments. This is pretty much the same for other payment providers such as CB, UPI, LankaQR, even AliPay too, so that effort is probably worth it.

Unlike iDEAL, dealing with CB gets you nothing now. I haven't seen a CB card that wasn't also a visa card in 20 years, so if your payment system accepts visa you don't have to deal with them
