Sofort via Mollie

Sofort via Mollie is now deprecated. Existing users can continue using the integration without interruption. However, new onboarding is no longer available.

Sofort is a popular online banking method in Europe. It is available in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Poland.

This document explains how to configure Mollie Sofort. Chargebee allows you to configure and process Sofort payments with Mollie seamlessly, helping you reach a larger audience in Europe.

To configure Mollie Sofort, you must have an account with Mollie and should have configured both SEPA and Sofort. This is because Mollie Sofort is generally used for one-time payments. In a subscription business, you will be charging your customers on a recurring basis. Therefore, Chargebee handles recurring scenarios by converting the Sofort payment method to the Direct Debit (SEPA) payment method. The first payment will happen via Sofort and all future recurring payments will happen via SEPA.
