Checkout mockup: Show iDEAL first in the Netherlands

Moves iDEAL to the top of the payment method list at checkout when Shipping country is Netherlands.

Why use it

The problem it solves

In the Netherlands, iDEAL is simply how people pay online — it handles the majority of Dutch e‑commerce payments. When a shopper from the Netherlands reaches your checkout and iDEAL is buried beneath cards and wallets, you add friction at the worst possible moment. Some will scroll to hunt for it; others will hesitate and drop off.

Benefits

What you get

Puts the method most Dutch shoppers expect right at the top of the list.

Removes the “where’s iDEAL?” hesitation that quietly costs you conversions.

Fires only for shoppers shipping to the Netherlands — every other market keeps your normal order.

No theme edits or checkout code — the order is applied automatically at checkout.
