Banking example - Web-Shop payment using iDEAL

The customer want to buy something in a web-shop. The total amount to pay is shown and the customer is send has several choices on how to pay. In this case a iDEAL (a direct banking payment method) is chosen. The customer enter a valid password. The balance check passed and the the money is transferred to the web-shop owner. When the money is successful transfered, invoice is created and the order is being shipped. The other payment method involve (simple) communication to the bank cloud. The diagram becomes more complex if e.g. the customer does not have enough balance and needs to pay differently. This is just one of many (millions) permutations. Use the choices on the right to make different diagrams or even different starting points (e.g. Internet Banking, Merchant or Web-Shop).
