Today, Mollie and Frontend Studios announce their new plug-in for plentymarkets. The Mollie plug-in for plentymarkets makes integration simple and time efficient.

Last month, we released the new Onboarding API for our merchants. It makes it possible to prefill data in the dashboard's onboarding screens for newly registered merchants and to follow their progress. Releasing this API was the last major step in our partner improvements epic. Together with other small enhancements, like pricing, enable/disable payment methods, and metadata for orders.

Online shopping is ingrained in our lives. More people than ever are buying the things they want and need online, but that doesn’t mean certain opportunities brick-and-mortar stores offer couldn’t improve the experience. For most customers, trying a product in real life before deciding to buy is still an important part of the decision process. So why not try and combine the best of both worlds to create the ultimate shopping experience online.

We want to offer you and your customers the best, easiest, and most flexible ways to pay. That’s why we recently collaborated with Klarna, introducing the payment methods Klarna: Pay Later and Klarna: Slice It to our portfolio. These payment methods allow shoppers to either pay after delivery or over time, whichever they prefer. Lower the purchase barrier for your customers as well and elevate your conversions.

Because we are very excited about this collaboration, we want all of our merchants to experience the benefits of Klarna. That’s why, for the whole month of November, your Klarna transactions will be free of charge! That way you can experience the product, before you start to pay; just like your customers can with Pay Later and Slice It.

The Belgian market is very important to us. It was the first foreign market we expanded our business to and therefore has a special place in our heart. Three years have passed since we made our first step into the Belgian market and it has been a great success: the amount of Bancontact transactions processed by Mollie increased with 178% last year alone.

It’s been said that good things come in pairs; partnerships are the perfect example of that! We believe in working closely with innovative agencies and platforms to create an even better payment experience.

The past few months we have been dedicated to internationalizing our services, which has been inspired by our ambitious and fast growing clients. We are proud to have grown from a small start up to one of Europe’s biggest and leading payment service providers. We are very proud to announce that due to this growth, we are now providing payment services to 50.000 clients! A great achievement, for which we want to thank our loyal customers.

Today we are announcing the addition of two new payment methods to the Mollie product portfolio: EPS and Giropay. These payment methods will empower our merchants to grow in the German and Austrian market by enabling their customers to pay in a payment method they are familiar with.

EPS and Giropay are available through our clever yet simple API, built for both easy integration and handling high transaction volumes.

Grow your business in Austria

The Electronic Payment Standard (EPS) is a payment method developed by various Austrian banks. This makes EPS the main bank transfer payment method in Austria and highly popular with Austrian shoppers. With Mollie you can integrate EPS quickly and start processing payments right away. You only pay for successful transactions and there are no hidden fees involved.

Offer Giropay payments to your German clients

Giropay is a popular bank transfer payment method in Germany. It uses more than 1,500 German banks, which makes it a payment method your German customers can trust. Implementing Giropay through Mollie is easy, there’s no lengthy signup process and we have free, open-source packages and plugins available for most coding languages and e-commerce platforms to let your customers pay in the payment method of their preference.

Localize the payment experience to advance your international growth

During the last couple of months Mollie has been focusing on making the payment experience familiar and convenient for all of our merchants and their customers abroad. To fit our merchant’s needs we've introduced a Multicurrency feature that enables a flawless experience for customers with international cards. Advancing your business opportunities across borders became even easier with Mollie localized checkout, which allows your customers to shop in their native language. Ready to advance your business on the German and Austrian market? Check our support articles and see if your plugin supports EPS and Giropay.

As businesses grow internationally and acquire more foreign customers, it’s important to adjust accordingly. After all, international customers have different needs and expectations. To advance international opportunities we are now offering the option to localize your checkout.
