Hi Pats, (offlist) The English form seems to work fine. However, if I am clicking iDEAL in Dutch, it puts the address/name as a required field - while this should not be necessary in iDEAL. Seems like an easy bug to fix.
But also when I enter a name etc, it simply returns to the same page, unlike in ENglish, where it takes me to the bank. Maybe reset the translations? Also, in English the Friesland Bank option seems to be broken. Not sure if that is a bug on your side or at iDEAL. Just some bugs I was able to spot without too much effort - hope you can pass it on to the right people.
