      iDeal is superb and the most convenient payment method I've dealt with.

      Wero claims that they won't support paying through a browser, and that it will be tied to either Google or Apple, which seems like a huge step back from iDeal in its currents state.

      I wrote about this a few months back (including actual sources for their claims): https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2026/02/25/entrenching-american-corporations-into-local-european-payments/

      imapgoose which was recently featured here I think is another option: https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2025/10/15/introducing-imapgoose/
