02. Payment Integrations (Mollie)

After you have successfully installed Invoice Ninja and created an account it is time to connect a payment integration with it. You don't need to have a payment integration to use Invoice Ninja, however if you went through the hassle of installing it you better do it ;) Yes the integrations are not fully open source but it's the best we have so far

1. Go to Settings --> Payment Settings --> Add Payment Gateway

2. Then choose a payment gateway that suits your needs. This could be for instance Stripe for USA and Mollie for European customers. I am from the Netherlands where most people use iDeal/Wero for their payments. Hence, I went with Mollie for my personal invoice ninja instance for my hospitality business. Hence, the following is a Mollie integration but it would work the same for any other payment gateway.

3. In the case of Mollie create an account and make sure you provide them with a business website or a proper description of your business. This is necessary for them to accept iDeal payments for instance.

4. If the iDeal payments are not accepted automatically after one day then I would recommend to contact support. This is what I did and they accepted it straight away.

5. If that is all set you need to obtain an API key and a Profile ID. 

6. Inside of Mollie click on "Developers" that sits in the left bottom corner of your dashboard.

7. Then choose API Access Tokens -> + Create new Token
