Getting Started

Six steps from "no Mollie" to "first invoice paid via iDEAL".

Create a Mollie account at mollie.com. The
free signup goes through Mollie's KYC (Chamber of Commerce check, ID
upload, bank account verification). Plan on 1–2 business days for
full activation; sandbox / test mode works immediately.

You'll get API keys (a live key and a test key) in your Mollie
dashboard under Developers → API keys. The keys start with live_
or test_.

Step 2 — Enable payment methods in your Mollie dashboard

Under Settings → Payment methods, enable the methods you want to
offer. The most important ones for Dutch business:

iDEAL — enabled by default.
Credit cards — needs a separate acquiring agreement (Mollie
signs you up); takes a few days.
SEPA Direct Debit — needs your IBAN verified; for recurring
subscriptions.
Bancontact — for Belgian customers.
Apple Pay — needs domain verification (Mollie walks you through).

You can enable / disable methods anytime; changes take effect
immediately.

Step 3 — Install the app

bench --site <your-site> install-app mollie_integration

Restart the bench so Mollie Settings appears in the awesomebar.

Step 4 — Configure Mollie Settings

Open Mollie Settings in the awesomebar (single doctype — only
one record exists per site).

Field	What to enter
Profile ID	From Mollie dashboard → Profiles → your profile. Looks like `pfl_xxxxxx`.
Secret Key	The `live_` API key for production, or `test_` while you're testing.
Payment URL Type	Create on Click (default) — links never expire. Create Immediately — for cart checkout where customer pays right away.
Default Method	Leave blank to let Mollie show the full method picker. Or pick `ideal` to skip directly to iDEAL.
Webhook Secret	Auto-generated on save. Used to verify incoming webhooks are from Mollie.

Save. The webhook URL is now <your-site>/api/method/mollie_integration.mollie.api.webhooks.

Step 5 — Test in sandbox mode

With a test_* API key in Mollie Settings:

Create a draft Sales Invoice.
Submit it.
From the invoice's menu, click Get Payment Link (or attach a
Payment Request).
Open the link in an incognito browser tab.
Pick iDEAL → pick "Test bank" → choose "Paid" status.
Watch the Sales Invoice — within seconds, a Payment Entry should
be created and the invoice marked Paid.

If the Payment Entry never appears, check Integration Request List
for the webhook receipt — there's usually a clear error.

Step 6 — Switch to live mode

Once the test flow works:

Replace the test_* Secret Key in Mollie Settings with your live_*
key.
Verify your webhook URL is reachable from the public internet (Mollie
needs to POST to it). Press deployments handle this automatically;
bare bench installs need an HTTPS reverse proxy.
Send a real €0.01 test payment to yourself before going wide — it's
cheap insurance.

What's next

invoice payment, web-shop checkout, and QR codes.
