Accepting Online Payments with Mollie
Several solutions exist for accepting online credit card payments. As an online merchant, you can use a payment plugin offered by a payment service provider such as Mollie. This choice allows you to offer your customers multiple payment solutions based on their preferences.
Regardless of the payment plugin used, we prioritise maximum security, incorporating technologies compliant with current regulations (PCI-DSS, PSD2, GDPR), including the 3D Secure security system. Additionally, we offer extensive customisation of your payment page, allowing you to match it to your branding through options like color and typography adjustments.

Cost of an Online Payment Solution
Determining the precise cost of an online payment solution is challenging due to variations in providers and market-specific requirements (VAD contracts for French businesses, for example). However, our transparent pricing structure includes payment per transaction, with no entry fees, contractual commitments, or hidden charges.
The transaction cost consists of a fixed part (€0.25) and a variable part (between 1.2% and 2.8%). For detailed information on transaction fees based on the payment module used, check our pricing page.
Note: For high monthly volumes (over €50,000), we offer quote-based pricing with more advantageous fees.

Beyond operating costs, selecting Mollie for credit card payments brings additional benefits:
Single contract for all payment modules.
Accessible dashboard for a comprehensive transaction overview.
Flexibility in setting the frequency of payment receipts.
Reminder emails to enhance conversion rates and reduce abandoned carts.
