Connect: Monetize payments

Mollie Connect gives your platform two ways to generate revenue from the payments you process on behalf of your connected accounts: adding Application Fees or using Resell Pricing.

These are fundamentally different kinds of mechanisms. Application Fees are an API-managed feature you control per transaction: you add the fee to each payment call and Mollie moves the amount to your balance.
Resell Pricing is a commercial arrangement between your platform and Mollie that changes how Mollie prices its own transaction fees across your connected accounts, with no API setup required.

You can use both within your platform: for example, applying Application Fees to a subset of customers while relying on Resell Pricing margins for others. The only constraint is that you cannot apply both to the same payment.

Application Fees

With Application Fees, you can add a fee to each payment via the API. When the payment succeeds, that fee moves to your balance automatically.

In this model, your connected account still pays the Mollie transaction fee directly: it is charged against their account, not yours. Your Application Fee sits on top of that.

This model is best-suited for platforms that want per-transaction control and are comfortable working with the Payments API.

Resell Pricing

Resell Pricing operates under a managed fee model. This means that Mollie shifts the transaction fees from your connected accounts to your platform: meaning, you absorb the cost of processing payments.
In return, you set your own resell rate per payment method and Mollie collects that rate from your connected accounts automatically.

Your margin is the difference between what you pay Mollie (the buy rate) and what you charge your connected accounts (the resell rate) and you can set everything up directly in your Mollie Web App.

This model is best-suited for platforms that want a predictable, low-maintenance margin on payment fees.
