Recurring payment Mollie + Change payment method

Hi @stevendonder

The “customer change payment method” feature was moved to the backlog due to the requirements being too complex at that time.
But the team is still looking into potentially integrating a more simplified version of the functionality, but there are other features that would first need to be implemented before this can be done.

Regarding the retry system, it seems to be functioning correctly. The retry system from the Subscriptions plugin is triggered when a Mollie renewal payment, including credit card payments, fails. If the retry system is enabled, it should continue retrying the payment until it is successful.

After the first attempt fails, the renewal order status should change to “Pending payment” instead of “Failed,” indicating that the retry system is in place. This status should remain until the payment is processed successfully or until the maximum number of retries is reached.

Kind regards,
Niklas

Hi?@stevendonder

Just to provide a status update:

It still depends on multiple factors, but the “customer change payment method” functionality is under investigation to possibly be included in a future feature update.

But we must ask for your understanding that properly implementing this functionality is not trivial with the way Mollie works right now. So this requires a significant refactor in the way subscriptions and mandates are handled before this could be realized in a way where it actually provides a benefit to users.

We also double-checked the retry system and did not manage to identify any issues that would prevent renewal payments after a failed card payment.
If you can provide any additional information in this regard, like steps to reproduce the problem, please let us know.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Niklas

The customer change payment method is one of the next big features to be developed. Since it is not trivial to implement this properly, it will take a little bit of time and I can’t say whether it will be included in the next feature update or not.

But since we have not heard back from you in a while, I’m marking this thread as resolved.
Hopefully, the above information helped you out.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reopen this topic or create a new one.

Thanks!
