Connect and use Mollie for payments
Connecting Mollie to Vetocare makes it very easy to add a payment link to invoices and reminders, for example. Invoices are often paid immediately or much faster when a payment link is included.
If you do not have a Mollie account yet, create one first through the Mollie website. To receive payments, the account must first be approved. This process is generally quite quick, but it may take a few days before you can receive payments.
Connect a Mollie account
1. Create a Mollie account.
2. Activate the desired payment methods, such as iDEAL.
3. If Mollie asks for a reason for opening the account and you do not yet have a website or online store, for example, you can enter: Process payments in Vetocare
4. Normally, the account is activated within 1–2 days. Mollie will notify you by email.
Connect Mollie to Vetocare
1. Once the Mollie account and payment methods have been activated, go to Settings in Vetocare.
2. Then scroll to Integrations and click Mollie.
3. Read the information carefully for the terms and transaction fees.
4. Then click Enable.
5. Click Log in with Mollie and use the Mollie account to log in. Then grant permission to connect to Vetocare and click Connect.
6. Then select the correct profile in the next step. It can sometimes be useful to create multiple profiles in Mollie, for example if you also have a separate online store. You can then create a separate profile for the Vetocare payment links, if needed.
7. Mollie is now ready to use.
Use payment links
Once the connection has been made and everything has been configured correctly, you can use the payment links immediately. There are currently two options:
1. Open a payment link using a button.
2. Automatically add a payment link to the standard messages (emails).
For the first option, open an unpaid invoice. Above the invoice, you will see the Payment link button.
The button opens the payment link immediately. This allows a customer to pay directly, for example using the iDEAL QR code.
There is a minimum amount of 3 euros for processing a payment link and any transaction fees. So if you want to make a test payment, make sure the total amount is more than 3 euros.
To automatically include a payment link with invoices and reminders, you can modify the relevant standard messages.
To modify the standard messages, go to Settings > Standard messages.
Then first open the standard message for sending the invoice. If necessary, add extra text next to the payment link and then click the Payment link button to add the dynamic field.
When the message is sent, the field is automatically replaced with the correct payment link.
Repeat this step for the standard messages for the first and second reminders to add the payment link there as well. The payment links work immediately for all invoices, including unpaid invoices from the past.
Successful payments
When the customer clicks the payment button, they see the familiar Mollie environment where the iDEAL payment can be completed. The Mollie payment page can be customized in Mollie's settings with a custom logo and background.
After the payment, the customer is automatically redirected to Vetocare and thanked for the payment.
In Vetocare itself, the invoice is automatically marked as paid, and the payment is recorded on the invoice with the payment reference.
