I have a question regarding how to add Mollie iDeal in the Payments methods from Event Espresso Registration checkout. I have Mollie activated and iDeal enabled and confirmation that my account with them is fully functional. However, I would like to add it to my payment methods in Event Espresso as shown in this thread in the Setup and Configuration: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ideal-mollie-payment-gateway/#:~:text=An%20account%20with%20Mollie%20is%20needed%20to%20accept%20payments%20via%20Mollie.&text=Login%20to%20your%20WP%2Dadmin,to%20activate%20the%20payment%20method.

None of the Mollie options are available to me when I go to Payment Methods thus I cannot choose it.

Hi there,

Have you installed and activated the iDeal/Mollie Payment Method Add-on on your site:

https://eventespresso.com/product/eea-ideal-mollie-gateway/

If not go to your account page and in your download section you’ll see ‘Mollie Payment Gateway v1.1.6.p’

Click to download the zip file and then add that to your site in Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add new -> Upload plugin (select the .zip file you just downloaded)

Activate the add-on and the iDeal/Mollie payment method should be displayed.

Thank you now I see Mollie as payment. However, you can also use it as a test if you install the normal plugin. How can I test the payment for now? Is using the test key a solution?

My apologies but I don’t understand, what is ‘the normal plugin’?

Yes, use the Test API key from your Mollie account in the Mollie API Key field.

When you are ready to switch to live, use the live key.

Thanks, I have used the test & live key and although the payments are being made though Mollie successfully when using the live key or selected the payment status in Mollie to be paid when using the test key, the transaction status in Event Espresso is still incomplete and the payment status pending. Could you please let me know how can that status be updated when payments are made successfully via Mollie?

It should happen automatically.

Are you waiting to be redirected back to your site after the payment has been made?

If you look on Mollie and open the payment made, it shows you the status of the webhooks fire on the right-hand side, does it show any errors there?

Hi,
Yes, I am waiting to be redirected back. There are no errors on the payment.

Can you post a screenshot of that section from Mollie, please? (You can mark your post private) as that section relates to the request/response from EE to acknowledge the payment so I’d like to see if there are any hits to a problem there.

We tried it in production and it worked. Thanks!

No problem.

Just to note, one thing that does come to mine is HTTPS, some users try to set the site up as HTTP and then simply redirect all HTTP connections to HTTPS, that doesn’t work for POST requests (which Mollie, and most other payment providers will use) as it strips away all of the POST details on the request.

So make sure your site is set up to use https in site settings.
