Show payment status on thankyou page

Hi benjamink1984,

If the buyer did not complete the payment, then they shouldn’t be redirected to a “success” thank you page in the first place.
In the Mollie advanced settings, you can choose between orders status behavior upon payment cancelation.
The order can either remain in pending payment with the message Your payment was not successful. Please complete your order with a different payment method. or be canceled with a message Order cancelled - Your order has been cancelled. when the buyer cancels the payment process.

Kind regards,
Niklas

Hi @niklasinpsyde,

thank you for your response. We are using the Orders API at the moment. I understand that the behavior does only work for the Payments API – is this correct? Can we just switch the API in the advanced settings without any problems? We are only collecting the payments through Mollie, so I think using the Payments API would be sufficient. Or are there any downsides to this?

Thanks a lot and warm regards from Bali,
Ben

Hi @benjamink1984,

I missed your response, apologies for getting back just now.
It doesn’t make a big difference. Only some payment gateways (Klarna & Voucher) do not support the Payments API since it effectively ‘collects’ less information about the orders, because it’s just a ‘payment’.
But at the same time, this provides you with some more fine control, like for example being able to alter what’s in the payment description, which is a feature that was recently expanded.

So unless you do your invoicing and order tracking via Mollie and don’t provide Klarna, the Payments API has a few advantages.

Kind regards,
Niklas

We have not heard back from you in a while, so 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 better create a new one.
Thanks!

Kind regards,
Niklas
