Troubleshooting common issues
Troubleshooting checklist
Restore the connection
Mollie ensures a secure connection to third-party applications using API keys. Incorrect API keys can cause unprocessed payments, payment methods unavailability, or incorrect payment statuses.
Verify that the API keys are correct by checking your Mollie Dashboard > Developers > API keys.
Activate payment methods
If a payment method is inactive, or was deactivated in your Mollie Dashboard after you added it to the checkout, it may not appear in your store or your customers might run into errors when trying to pay.
Ensure your payment methods work properly by managing their status in your Mollie Dashboard:
- Log in to your Mollie Dashboard.
- Select the organization in the top-left corner of the dashboard's home page.
- Go to Organization settings > Profiles.
- Select the web store to view the payment methods and their status.
- Select the payment method.
- Select Activate.
Important
Some payment methods require Mollie's approval before they're available in your Mollie Dashboard. If your account has been approved but payment methods are still missing from your dashboard, contact support.
Compare the statuses
If the statuses between Mollie and your store don't match, check whether payments are processing properly.
Mollie statuses are displayed in your Mollie Dashboard. To view the Mollie statuses, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Mollie Dashboard.
- Go to Payments.
- The payment's status is displayed in the Status column.
Common issues
Payment methods are missing from the checkout
When you connect the Mollie app, it retrieves the payment methods that are active in your Mollie account. To make them available in your checkout, you need to enable them as a separate step.
If there are payment methods missing from your checkout, try these steps to solve the issue:
- Activate the payment methods in your Mollie account.
- Ensure that the payment methods have been added to your checkout.
- Check whether the payment method's customization settings have an impact on their visibility.
- Check whether the payment method's localization settings have an impact on their visibility.
Payments aren't processing properly
Most Mollie modules use webhooks to notify third party apps of status updates.
If a webhook fails, it's not possible to process payments properly and statuses aren't updated.
Try these steps to solve the issue:
- Check your API keys.
- Use diagnostic information (available logs) to identify the root cause.
- Check whether your store is online.
Customers get errors in the checkout
If customers get an error during the checkout, there might be an issue with the Mollie module/plugin.
Try these steps to solve the issue:
- Check any available log files for error messages.
- If the error is caused by a failed connection with Mollie, restore the connection.
- If possible in your application, enable debugging to capture full error messages.
