I have created a gateway for the Dutch IDeal payment system. I used the paypal express gateway

as guidance.

The gateway supports three messages:

• issuers: the directory request, will get a list of issuers the consumer can choose from
• setup_purchase: the transaction request, will start the transaction and returns a redirect url to

lead the consumer to the issuer site

• capture: the status request, will check the status of transaction and confirms the payment

I have added a custom IdealResponse class, to easily get to the issuerlist, transaction and error

data and the redirect_url.

The message in the responses have no meaningful content yet.

Except for error responses, Ideal does not return a message, or should we just use the status

returned (success, open, expired, failure, cancelled)?

The options hash has some extra Ideal specific optionsl: :issuer_id, :expiration_period,

:return_url, :entrance_code.
