Mollie Payment Integration

In order to get started with Mollie, you need to sign up for their services, create a website profile. After getting an account, you need to create API (use the Test API key to test your first payments) keys which you need to store in your .env file:

MOLLIE_API_KEY=your-mollie-api-key

Note: you have to generate a Crystallize secret token and secret token id to your project follow the steps to generate Crystallize access tokens and add the variables to your .env file:

CRYSTALLIZE_SECRET_TOKEN_ID=your-secret-token-id
CRYSTALLIZE_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token

Mollie support payments in ISO 4217 format. Crystallize is very flexible on creating a pricing variant, allowing you to add and name any kind of currency. e.g. Euros could be defined as €, Euro, EURO, EUR, etc.

Mollie API expects only ISO 4217 format on order creation, you may want to either create your Crystallize currencies following that format, or pass the environment variable:

MOLLIE_DEFAULT_CURRENCY=EUR

In the init payment endpoint default in the NextJS eCommerce boilerplate is src/pages/api/payment-providers/mollie/create-payment.js, this is the typical flow you want to follow:

1. Create a Crystallize order for the customer and the basket contents.
2. Select Mollie as the payment option in the checkout.
3. Receive an URL back from Mollie for where to redirect the user to approve the payment.

Note: while you are developing this on your local machine, you need an HTTP proxy so that Mollie can call your local machine, like ngrok, once ngrok is running add the HTTP forwarding URL as an env variable in your .env file:

NGROK_URL=your-ngrock-url

Once you click Mollie as payment in the checkout you will see the Mollie test transaction page select paid and then click continue you will be redirected to the order confirmation page.

After the customer has confirmed the purchase, they will be redirected back to the shop for a confirmation. The default in the NextJS eCommerce boilerplate is src/pages/confirmation/mollie/[orderId].js.

By default, the payment information can be used to update the order in Crystallize under /src/pages/api/payment-providers/mollie/order-update.js. Here you can choose if you would like to store extra information.

What happens now is totally up to how you run your business. We advise you to set up proper fulfilment pipelines to orchestrate the orders, which you can use to manage the order fulfilment in a structured and automated way.
