### Mollie's models of APIs and why it is important

Mollie provides two API models to accept payments:

* [Payments API](https://docs.mollie.com/payments/accepting-payments). Default integration model.
* [Orders API](https://docs.mollie.com/orders/overview). Allows you to use Mollie for your order management.

By default, the Payments API enabled in Mollie payment plugin for VirtueMart.

{% hint style="info" %}
The following **payment methods** require the Orders API and **cannot be used** with the Payments API`:`

* **Pay after delivery** payment methods, such as **Klarna Pay later**, **Klarna Slice it** and **in3**
* **Klarna Pay now**
* **Eco vouchers, gift vouchers, and meal vouchers**
  {% endhint %}

To enable Orders API, please go to `VirtueMart` > `Payment methods` > `Mollie payment method` > `Configuration` and enable  `Send Order Items` parameter (set to `Yes`).&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please set the following options to `'Yes'` in Mollie payment method options to enable some of payment methods which require `Orders API` (e.g. Klarna) as the available payment method on checkout:

* **Send Order Items**
* **Send Shipping Address**
  {% endhint %}

If you prefer not to use Orders API or you do not want to send the cart items to Mollie, then set '**Send Order Items**' parameter to '*No*'.
