It’s official: Mollie is a Sylius Preferred Partner. Actually, we have been since March 2020. Do you have a Sylius web shop, or are you thinking about choosing Sylius? Then starting now, you can also implement the Mollie payment module. The perfect combination of Sylius flexibility with Mollie simplicity.

## Sylius: software with stretch
In case you don’t know yet: [Sylius is a super-flexible e-commerce platform](https://www.mollie.com/en/integrations/sylius) for mid-market that gets you up and running in a flash. You can connect Sylius to your existing tech stack – your ERP, PIM and CRM – with ease. Forget those all-in-one packages. Embrace the Best of Breed approach with Sylius at the heart of your unique system. Another bonus: the software comes with a robust template system and tons of functionalities, so you can set up your shop any way you please. And upscaling is a breeze: Sylius is compatible with Google Cloud, Platform.sh, Heroku or any other hosting provider.

## Mollie makes it easy
And now, you can also add Mollie’s payment plug-in to your Sylius shop. Your flexible web shop just found more stretch. With Mollie’s plug-in, you can give customers the exact payment options they want – whether that’s iDEAL, [Bancontact](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/bancontact), [credit card](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/credit-card), Apple Pay or another payment type popular in Benelux, Germany, France or Poland. Without any headaches. We offer a transparent fee system and the most personal levels of support from our own helpdesk. You’ve never experienced web shop freedom like you will with the Sylius/Mollie combo.

## The key to the click
It’s no surprise that Mollie and Sylius get along so well. We have the same mission: to give merchants a simple, seamless user experience. But to get there, Sylius was missing one essential piece of the puzzle. A Payment Service Provider that could deliver a reliable and flexible payment plug-in. ‘Mollie was the first PSP to approach us about a strategic partnership,’ says Tymoteusz Stengert, Partner Manager at Sylius. ‘We’ve worked hard in the past few months. There’s been a lot of phone traffic between Amsterdam and Lodz. Now, we’re reaping the benefits of the trust we’ve built in each other. Today, Mollie is the most robust PSP in our ecosystem.’

And Mollie is just as excited about the possibilities that hooking up with Sylius offers. ‘A Preferred Partnership with Sylius is just what we needed to accelerate our growth in our focus markets: France, Germany and the Benelux,’ says Boris Lindgren, Partner Manager at Mollie. ‘This will help us stimulate growth for each other.’

## The future in focus
The collaboration is off to a great start. ‘Of course, we’ll likely find some room for improvement as our launching customers get to work,’ predicts Merijn van Zuidam, Technical Partner at Mollie. ‘But we’ve factored in time and energy for that. We work in an Agile way anyway, so we continuously implement improvements. That’s also necessary, since we want our plug-in to grow along with Sylius and its ever-growing range of possibilities.’ In addition to the regular check-out functionality, a solution for recurring payments is also on the to-do list. ‘We will launch that functionality in Q3,’ Merijn says.

## Mollie + Sylius: here’s what you get
- Flexible, open-source e-commerce software, built in Symfony  
- Extensive features that let you build your web shop the way you want

Get flexible with Mollie and Sylius

Is your web shop running on Magento 1? Then put a big red ‘X’ on 1 June 2020 in your agenda. 
Because that’s the day support for this software version will end. Upgrading to Magento 2 is a logical next step, but it’s also a big investment. If you’re not quite ready for that, we can offer an alternative. Sign up with Mage One. Mollie is the first official payment partner in this initiative. 

## Is Magento 1 shutting down?
For years, Magento 1 has been a popular e-commerce platform. Adobe launched the next version – Magento 2 – in 2015. But not everyone made the switch to the second version. A lot of web shops still run on the original software. Maybe your web shop does, too.

Still, after five years, Adobe thinks it’s time to pull the plug on Magento 1. So they’re going to stop supporting it. No more security updates, and no more technological upgrades. As of 1 June 2020, your Magento 1 web shop will become out-dated, and will become increasingly insecure. An upgrade to Magento 2 is a logical step, but that takes time, money and effort. It’s possible that you don’t have the (financial) capacity to do that right now. 

## Mage One: Magento 1 support after 1 June 2020
Luckily, there’s an excellent alternative to keep you running on Magento 1: <a href="https://mage-one.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mage One</a>. It’s an initiative driven by several developers. When Adobe stops supporting Magento 1, Mage One will take over. Starting on 1 June, Mage One will deliver complete security updates and technical upgrades for Magento 1 web shops. 

## Mollie is a Mage One partner
Mage One is a great solution for everyone who wants to postpone the switch to Magento 2. And, as an official Mage One partner, Mollie guarantees that you’ll still safely receive your payments. Whether through [Apple Pay](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/apple-pay), [credit card](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/credit-card), [PayPal](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments/paypal) or any other [payment method](https://www.mollie.com/en/payments). We’ll keep our payment plug-in running for at least another year, and we’ll keep our quality standards as high as they’ve always been. So you can keep moving forward. 

## Things to keep in mind
Please note: not all Payment Service Providers (PSPs) will connect with Mage One. Some PSPs will choose to simply end all of their Magento 1 payment modules. Others will offer a few extra months of support. If you’re not yet a Mollie client, check with your PSP to see what they plan to do.

Also, as a PSP, Mollie is still required to remain PCI compliant, even after Adobe stops supporting Magento 1. And as a web shop owner, you’re also still responsible for keeping your PCI compliance. Need help with that? We’d love to think along with you.

Mollie is here for you during the Coronavirus

Magento 1 will no longer receive any security updates from Adobe, it’s creator, as of 1 June 2020. This not only means that new features won’t be added to the platform but remaining on it could jeopardise both your webshop and customers. Despite the fact that Magento has almost exclusively been focusing its attention on Magento 2 since 2014, many web stores are still running on Magento 1. So, switching soon is a must, but it’s also an opportunity. 

## A well-informed decision 
Entrepreneurs don’t frequently switch e-commerce platforms because it’s too much of a hassle. However, now, you don’t have a choice and that presents an opportunity to do it the right way from the beginning and make a well-informed decision. For example, you can choose a system that offers more possibilities that prepare you for the future, like increased personalisation or expanded marketing options. You could also choose a system offering fewer options and is simpler and cheaper. 

## Don’t underestimate time and effort  
No matter what webshop system you decide on using, you have to have it done before the summer of 2020 to ensure your webshop can operate safely. And don’t underestimate how much time and effort this takes! Even if you’re switching from Magento 1 to Magento 2, then you should be aware that this isn’t an easy process. Magento 2 is a completely different platform and its framework is built differently than its predecessor, so it’s a good idea to get started as soon as possible if you plan on using Magento 2. 

A good first step to tackling switching is making an action plan where you map out what’s important to you for your webshop. You should also think about if you want to handle everything yourself because it requires a hefty time investment, time possibly better spent elsewhere. If you want to switch, there are agencies specialing in it that can help you, and this can save you lots of time and potentially money. 

## All popular e-commerce platforms 
In any case, it’s good to know Mollie works with all popular e-commerce platforms. Hence, whether you choose [Shopware](https://www.mollie.com/en/integrations/shopware) or [WooCommerce](https://www.mollie.com/en/integrations/woocommerce), Mollie has an integration for it. This means that your payments will always be done in a safe way. Need some help figuring out what to do? Our [support team](https://www.mollie.com/en/contact/) is ready to help you with your transition. Otherwise you sales manager will help you with any further questions.

End of live Magento 1

Time to Switch: Magento 1 will no longer be updated  

__From today, the [subscription platform eCurring](https://www.mollie.com/en/recurring), a Mollie product, will be even more easily accessible for all 65,000 Mollie customers. The SaaS platform eCurring offers a total solution in the field of subscription management and recurring payments.__

## The upcoming world of subscriptions
Whereas in the past customers used to attach value to ownership, today that has changed to value of use. The consumer's mindset has changed. A new age is upon us, the era of usership. Nowadays, organisations respond more and more to the needs of the consumer. The consumer thirsts for convenience, simplicity, freedom and fewer responsibilities. These needs have created a number of new economies, one of those is the subscription economy. An economy in which eCurring provides organisations with every comfort through offering flexibility in one powerful total solution.

## Total control over your subscriptions and recurring payments
Organisations such as Netflix, HelloFresh and Swapfiets, but also the local gym around the corner, all offer subscriptions and other forms of recurring payments. With the eCurring platform, these organisations can easily manage customers and subscriptions, collect recurring payments and automate follow-up after reversed payments. With the aim of managing subscriptions and mandates as well as performing recurring payments.

The platform offers three powerful business models. A ‘Netflix-like’ subscription model, these payments are the same each month. In addition, a ‘Slack-like’ subscription model, which is offered for variable payments. Finally, an ‘Uber-like’ subscription model, offered for payments per use. These different business models are available both in the form of an easy to use SaaS platform and in the form of a powerful subscriptions API.

## Seamlessly integrated with Mollie
The seamless integration of the eCurring platform with Mollie by the so-called Mollie Connect combines the best of both worlds. On the one hand, a reliable and fast way to pay and on the other hand, the total control and overview of all subscriptions and recurring payments. As a Mollie customer, you can now link your Mollie account with eCurring at the press of a button.

“We now live in a world of 'subscriptions'. Through the full integration of our platform with Mollie, we respond to the needs of the market. We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers and also provide existing Mollie customers with the opportunity to easily discover the power of subscription models.“ - according to Julian Kuin, Chief Product Officer at eCurring.

Besides the Mollie Connect integration, from today, we have also added eCurring to the Mollie dashboard. In this way, all 65,000 Mollie customers can offer their customers subscriptions and recurring payments at the press of a button. Gaston Aussems, CEO of Mollie, says: “With our innovative product eCurring, we offer a strong subscription solution to all our 65,000 customers throughout Europe. This way they can make use of offering subscriptions and recurring payments. With eCurring, we solve an important issue for our customers. Developments at eCurring follow each other in rapid succession; fintech in its purest form”.

## Under full development
In recent months, the development of the eCurring platform has not stood still and we have added a number of new features to the platform. Payment reminders are now completely customisable to your liking. These can also be sent multiple times with late payments. In addition, users can now choose to automatically suspend subscriptions after several unpaid invoices. Finally, the user can independently switch transaction monitoring on or off and set an invoice manually to paid. In the coming period, we will further expand the existing subscription models with even more innovative applications.

## About eCurring & Mollie
eCurring is a product of Mollie and that is to your advantage. We combine the best of both worlds: the powerful SaaS platform of eCurring and the innovative payment infrastructure of Mollie. The eCurring platform, a start-up at Mollie, was founded in 2017 and based in Amsterdam. The platform was born from the search for a subscription and recurring payments solution. Now, two years later, it is a SaaS platform that offers the solution to easily manage subscriptions, mandates and customers, collect recurring payments and fully automate follow-up after reversed payments.

El mercado belga es un mercado importante para nosotros. Como el primer mercado extranjero en el que se centró Mollie, Bélgica tiene un lugar especial en nuestros corazones. Esta primera incursión en el mercado belga ya ha quedado muy atrás y no ha sido en vano: el número de transacciones Bancontact realizadas a través de Mollie aumentó un 178% el año pasado.

Esto no habría sido posible sin nuestros clientes y socios belgas. Estamos orgullosos de trabajar con tantos grandes empresarios belgas. De esta manera podemos unir fuerzas y cambiar el panorama belga de comercio electrónico y pagos online.

Dado que crecemos en Bélgica, nos gustaría invertir en el mercado belga y en nuestros clientes. Por eso hemos decidido ajustar las tarifas de Bancontact. Con representación en más del 80% de las tiendas online belgas, Bancontact es uno de los métodos de pago online más importantes de Bélgica. Desde ahora cobramos una tasa fija de 0,39 € por transacción Bancontact; no más costes fluctuantes debido a las tasas porcentuales, siempre seguros de un importe fijo.

Un precio fijo para las transacciones de Bancontact es un nuevo desarrollo en el mercado de pagos online. Esta adaptación se inspira en dos de los valores fundamentales de Mollie: la transparencia y la sencillez. Al cobrar una tarifa fija, el concepto del coste se vuelve mucho más transparente. De esta manera usted sabe exactamente lo que paga por transacción, independientemente de las circunstancias. 

Pero no sólo tiene seguridad, sino también costes de transacción más bajos como resultado de la tasa fija. Con las nuevas tarifas, los empresarios ahorran un promedio del 68% en sus transacciones Bancontact. De esta manera, los empresarios crean más transparencia y eficiencia para sus negocios, a la vez que aumentan su volumen de negocios. Una situación en la que todos ganan, tanto el propietario de la tienda web como el cliente.
