  iDEAL sounds a lot like Bancontact/Payconic in Belgium.

  Which doesn’t do everything Paypal does either. Others have mentioned the buyer protection, but there’s also multiple payment methods you can link to it, subscription management, and one-click payments (where it also enters your address for shipping) - and crucially: available worldwide.

  I’ve never really seen this in (Java/Rust/PHP) backend personally, only in client-side JS (the CORS preflight).

  It’s a security feature for browsers doing calls (checking the CORS headers before actually calling the endpoint), but for backends the only place it makes sense is if you’re implementing something like webhooks, to validate the (user submitted) endpoint.
