How to integrate Bancontact via Mollie?

Scope

This article explains how to configure Bancontact via Mollie in Chargebee and outlines how Bancontact supports recurring payments using the Mollie payment gateway.

Managing Recurring Payments

Mollie supports two modes of recurring billing for Bancontact:

Mode	Description	SEPA Required?
SEPA Direct Debit	First payment via Bancontact, recurring via SEPA	Yes
Bancontact Wallet Initiated Payments(WIP)	First via Bancontact, recurring via WIP	No

Choose the configuration that best fits your business model and regional requirements.
