Salesforce: Manage orders

Send payment requests

Proactively invoice your customers for pre-orders, subscription renewals, and when addressing failed or overdue payments.

What you need to do in advance

  • Ensure that the relevant Salesforce Commerce Cloud customer service roles have been assigned the Request payment link order permission.

Send a payment link

Payment links redirect customers to your Mollie Checkout page, where they select a payment method and pay.

  1. Log in to Salesforce Commerce Cloud Business Manager.
  2. Open Select a site, and select a site from the list.
  3. Go to Merchant Tools > Ordering > Customer Service Center.
  4. Find the order and open it.
  5. Select Request payment link from the More drop-down menu.
  6. Select Send to send the payment request.

📘

Note

If a payment request has been sent for an order, you can find the link in Salesforce Business Manager under Merchant Tools > Ordering > Orders > [order number] > Payment > Mollie payment link.

You can only send payment requests for orders that have the status "Open", " New", "Canceled", or "Failed".

Ship orders

Mark physical, digital and service orders as shipped to capture payment. You can use Salesforce Commerce Cloud's own shipping manager to mark orders as shipped. Once orders have been marked as shipped, Mollie automatically captures the authorized amount.

📘

Note

  • You can only mark an order as shipped if the customer pays for it with a payment method that uses the Orders API.
  • To find the API method that was used for an order, log into Salesforce Business Manager and go to Merchant Tools > Ordering > Orders > [order number] > Attributes.
  • Klarna payment methods require you to mark orders as shipped before capturing payment.

What you need to do in advance

  • Ensure that the relevant Salesforce Commerce Cloud customer service roles have been assigned the Ship order order permission.
  • You can only ship orders that are Open, New, or Completed.

Understand statuses

Mollie statuses and Salesforce Commerce Cloud statuses

After a customer has purchased a product, Mollie keeps track of changes in the payment status and sends them to Salesforce Commerce Cloud. At the same time, the Mollie for Salesforce plugin monitors Salesforce Commerce Cloud for changes in the order status and sends them to Mollie. In both cases, the plugin acts as an intermediary, passing on changes in both directions.

Because Mollie has its own standard set of payment and order statuses, whose names may not exactly match Salesforce Commerce Cloud's, the Mollie for Salesforce plugin has to translate Salesforce Commerce Cloud status names into the equivalent Mollie status names, and vice versa. That is why the payment or order status that you see in your Mollie Dashboard may differ from the status you see in Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

Mollie status flow

Two Mollie status flows are possible, depending on the API method used for a payment. When configuring a payment method you can choose between the Payments API, which handles payment statuses, or the Orders API, which handles order statuses.

Note

Mollie also has statuses for payment processing steps after a payment is completed, for example, the refunded status.
