Add-on: Mollie payments
In Beta. Contact support@storeganise.com to request access.
The Mollie Payments Add-on allows you to connect your Mollie account to Storeganise and accept credit card and SEPA direct debit payments directly from customers. Once set up, payments are automatically linked to customer invoices, and your customers can manage their payment methods directly from the Customer Portal.
Connecting your Mollie account
Please note this section is for demonstration only. Currently, all Add-ons must be installed by a Storeganise team member. Contact us to install an Add-on.
If your Add-on has already been installed, you can skip to step #3.
- Go to Main settings > Add-ons in the Management Portal.
- Find Mollie Payments and click Install.
- After installation, click Enable.
- A task will appear prompting you to authorise the connection with Mollie. Click the link.
- Sign in to your Mollie account and select the correct organisation profile.
- Click Connect to complete the authorisation.
Adjust Add-on settings
To ensure that payments process correctly:
- Make sure the currency in your Mollie account matches the currency code set in Storeganise (Invoicing > Invoicing > Currency code).
- Then set the currency in the Mollie Add-on custom field. This must also match your invoicing currency.
- Update this in the Add-ons > Mollie Payments > Settings > Currency code page.
- Then, check that the Profile ID of the Mollie account matches the one listed in your Mollie dashboard
- Go to:
- Browse > Developers > API Keys > Scroll down to find the

Accepting payments
Once Mollie is connected:
- In Mollie, go to:
- Organization settings > Products > Payments
- Choose which payment methods you'd like to add to your account
Important: Currently, the Add-on only supports Credit cards (listed as "Cards") and Direct Debit (listed as "iDEAL"). Make sure to complete all the necessary Mollie compliance requirements for these to be added to your account.
When Mollie has activated your payment methods:
- Customers will see the Mollie checkout page to add a payment method to their account during online booking and move-in.
- They can add a credit card or a direct debit method from the Customer Portal.
- To use Direct Debit, customers will need to create a payment mandate using iDEAL. They will then need to follow the on-screen prompts to link their direct debit accounts to their customer profile
- To use a credit card, customers can select a card and follow the on-screen prompts.
All payment mandates are securely stored and can be used to charge for future invoices automatically.
Payment authorisation and verification
Setting up SEPA Direct Debit with iDEAL
When a customer sets up a SEPA Direct Debit payment method, the initial verification is done using iDEAL.
- iDEAL is used only once—to securely collect the customer’s bank details and authorise a SEPA Direct Debit mandate.
- During this step, the customer completes a small payment (usually €0.01), which verifies their identity and links their bank account.
- Once this is complete, Mollie generates a SEPA mandate tied to that account.
- All future payments are processed via SEPA Direct Debit, without any further action needed from the customer.
Why is a €0.01 charge shown during payment setup?
When a customer adds a payment method—credit card or SEPA direct debit—Mollie initiates a small transaction (typically €0.01) to create a valid mandate.
- For credit cards, the €0.01 charge is triggered by the card scheme or issuing bank, not Mollie. Most card schemes and banks refund this amount immediately, though this can vary.
- For SEPA direct debit (e.g. via iDeal), a small payment is required to verify the bank account and authorise the mandate. Banks also refund this amount immediately, though this can vary.
- Once the transaction is successful, Mollie generates a mandate ID, which can be used for future payments without requiring customer approval again.
This process ensures the payment method is valid, secure, and authorised for recurring use.
Managing payments and invoices through Mollie
Charging invoices
You can charge customers directly for any unpaid invoices:
- Go to the Customer > Billing section in the Admin Portal.
- Select an unpaid invoice.
- If a valid payment method exists, click Charge.
The payment status will be updated automatically once processed.
For SEPA direct debit payments, status updates may take a few business days, depending on the bank.
This process can also be done automatically. Make sure to set your Storeganise invoicing settings to "Automatic"
Updating payment methods
Customers can update their stored payment methods at any time:
- From the Customer Portal, go to Billing > Payment method.
- Select Update payment method.
- They will be redirected to a secure Mollie-hosted checkout to complete the update.
Payment statuses
You’ll see one of the following statuses on each invoice:
- Paid – Payment was successful
- Pending – Payment is processing (SEPA direct debit only)
- Failed – Payment was declined or could not be completed
Mollie will automatically update the status once the payment clears or fails.
Frequently asked questions
1. Why is my invoice marked as "Pending" after using SEPA Direct Debit?
SEPA Direct Debit payments are not processed instantly. When a customer pays using iDeal to set up a SEPA Direct Debit mandate, the invoice will be marked as "Pending" until the payment clears. This typically takes 2–3 business days.
2. Can a customer still complete their booking if the invoice is pending?
Yes, the unit will be reserved after the customer completes the booking and payment method setup. Once the pending payment clears, the unit status will automatically update to "Occupied" (if auto move-in is enabled).
3. What if a customer updates their payment method after an invoice is already generated?
Any future charges—including outstanding pending invoices—will use the updated payment method. Mollie always uses the most recent valid mandate when processing payments.
4. Will customers see the full IBAN or card number in Storeganise?
No. For security reasons, only the last 4 digits of the IBAN or card number are shown.
5. What does "Mollie (Credit card)" mean on an invoice?
This indicates the payment was processed using Mollie, and the method used was a credit card. You'll also see "Mollie (Direct debit)" for SEPA payments.
