This paper studies the multidimensional stability of planar traveling waves for integrodifference equations. It is proved that for a Gaussian dispersal kernel, if the traveling wave is exponentially orbitally stable in one space dimension, then the corresponding planar wave is stable in $H^m(\mathbb{R}^N)$, $N\ge 4$, $m\ge [N/2]+1$, with the perturbation decaying at algebraic rate.
