Select an API method, customize order descriptions and Mollie statuses.

Select an API method

Select the appropriate API method for your payment processing goals: Mollie's Payments API for simple payments or its Orders API for detailed orders.

You can select a different API method for each individual payment method except the following, which only use the Orders API:

  • Klarna payment methods
  • iDEAL in3
  • Vouchers

To select an API method, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to PrestaShop.
  2. In the left navigation menu, select Mollie > Settings.
  3. Scroll down to Payment methods.
  4. Select a payment method to expand it.
  5. Select an API method from the Method drop-down menu.
  6. Save the changes.

Customize payment descriptions

Include order details such as order number and customer name in the payment descriptions that appear in your Mollie Dashboard.

All payments are listed on the Payments page of your Mollie Dashboard. A payment's description is displayed in its Details column. It can also appear on your customers' bank statements depending on the payment method used and the customer's bank.

By default, the payment description includes the PrestaShop, PrestaShop order ID, Mollie order status, API method used, and refund status.

📘

Note

You can only change the payment description for payment methods that use the Payments API.

You can combine free text and the following variables:

  • {orderNumber}

Note

If the payment method uses the Orders API, then {orderNumber} resolves to a number, for example: 12345.

If the payment method uses the Payments API, then {orderNumber} resolves to "Order" followed by a number, for example: Order 12345.

  • {storeName}
