Installation and Setup: Easier Than Making Toast (Almost)

Let’s get FinPay Mollie Payments up and running. First, download the plugin from AyeCode Ltd. After downloading the plugin, navigate to the ‘Plugins’ section in your dashboard and click ‘Add New’. Then, click ‘Upload Plugin’ and select the plugin file you downloaded. Click ‘Install Now’ and then ‘Activate Plugin’.

Now, it’s time to configure the settings. Find FinPay Mollie Payments in the installed plugins list and click settings. You will see different options like API Key, Payment Description etc.

To get your API key, log in to your Mollie dashboard. In the dashboard, navigate to ‘Developers’ and then ‘API keys’. You will find both a Test API key and a Live API key. For testing purposes, use the Test API key. For processing real payments, you’ll need the Live API key after activating your Mollie account and provide the necessary documents.

Copy the appropriate API key and paste it into the corresponding field in the FinPay Mollie Payments settings. Below the API key, you can set the order status when the payment is completed successfully. Save your settings. That’s it! You’re now ready to accept payments. You can test the plugin using the test API key to ensure everything is working correctly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues: Because Things Happen

Even with the simplest setup, things can sometimes go wrong. Let’s troubleshoot some common issues encountered with payments.

Payment Failures: A frequent problem is payment failure. First, double-check the customer’s payment information. Insufficient funds or incorrect card details are common culprits. Ensure your account has sufficient balance. Review your account settings. Incorrect configuration can cause declines. Check your settlement settings and available payment methods.

API Key Errors: An invalid API key will halt transactions. Go back to the settings page and verify the key. It’s surprisingly easy to copy it incorrectly. Make sure you’ve selected the correct API key type (test or live). Using a test key in a live environment (or vice versa) will cause errors. Revoke and regenerate your API keys regularly for enhanced security.

Integration Conflicts: Conflicts with other software can disrupt payments. Deactivate plugins one by one to identify the conflicting software. Clear your website cache. Caching plugins sometimes store outdated information that interferes with the payment process.

Common Mistakes: Users often forget to enable payment methods or use the wrong API key for test vs. live environments. Regularly review your configuration. Another error is to have enabled only one payment method. Make sure to enable at least two, so your clients can choose which payment method they want to use.

Customization and Extensibility: Unleash Your Inner Ninja

The FinPay Mollie Payments plugin boasts impressive customization. Developers can tailor the payment experience significantly. This involves modifying templates or leveraging available hooks and filters. These allow alteration of core functionalities. One can adjust payment form fields. Altering the order of payment methods is also possible. Implementing custom validation rules offers enhanced control.

Extensibility is key for bespoke project requirements. Suppose you need to add a custom fee based on payment method. Here’s a snippet to illustrate:

add_filter( 'finpay_mollie_payment_fee', 'custom_payment_fee' );
function custom_payment_fee( $fee ) {
$chosen_method = $_POST['payment_method'];
if ( $chosen_method == 'specific_method' ) {
$fee = $fee + 5; // Add $5 fee
}
return $fee;
}

This code adds a $5 fee when ‘specific_method’ is selected. Plugins have various actions for modifying behaviour. For instance, modify the payment description sent to the gateway. Remember to respect the original GetPaid Mollie Payments by AyeCode Ltd when customizing.
