About Mollie
What is Mollie?
Mollie is a payment processing platform that lets businesses of every size — from startups to enterprises — accept online and in-person payments. It handles everything from credit and debit cards to PayPal, SEPA bank transfers, and popular local methods like iDEAL, so you can get paid the way your customers prefer.
What problem does it solve?
Mollie removes the complexity of payment infrastructure. Instead of juggling multiple providers or dealing with hidden fees, you get one platform that drives revenue, reduces costs, and simplifies reconciliation, invoicing, and even financing. With no monthly costs, no lock-in contracts, and transparent pricing, you only pay when you make a sale.
Who is it for?
It's built for businesses selling online or in person — from e-commerce stores and subscription services to SaaS platforms and marketplaces. It's also great for physical retailers using point-of-sale terminals. If you're a micro-business just starting out or a large enterprise processing over €100,000 per month, Mollie scales with you. It's not designed for high-risk industries that need specialized underwriting.
Real use cases
Example 1: An online clothing store uses Mollie Checkout to accept credit cards, PayPal, and iDEAL, and lets customers pay via payment links sent over email or chat. Example 2: A coffee shop uses Mollie's in-person payment terminals to take contactless payments at the counter. Example 3: A SaaS subscription business uses Mollie Recurring to bill customers automatically every month, and uses their business account to manage funds and cash flow.
