VirtueMart configuration
Learn how to configure VirtueMart to accept payments via Mollie.
Create new order status
Mollie allows to release partially refund while VirtueMart doesn't have such order status by default. We need to create new status.
Go to VirtueMart > Configuration > Order Statuses.
Let's create a new status:
This is a Partially Refunded status:
Payment Method Information
In this tab select Mollie as a Payment Method.
Configuration
Sandbox Mode — No / Yes. If Sandbox Mode is enabled, no real money are transferred. Sandbox is used to test the payments.
Debug — Yes / No.
Order Statuses
Payment Authorized — select the order status that will be applied based on authorized payment transaction result. By default it is Confirmed.
Payment Paid — select the order status that will be applied based on successful payment transaction result. By default it is Completed.
Payment Failed — select the order status that will be applied based on failed payment transaction result. By default it is Failed.
Payment Canceled — select the order status that will be applied based on canceled status of payment or order. By default it is Cancelled.
Payment Expired — select the order status that will be applied based on expired payment or order. By default it is Pending.
Payment Completed — select the order status that will be applied based on successful payment transaction result. By default it is Completed.
Payment Refunded — select the order status that will be applied based on refunded payment. By default it is Refunded.
Payment Partially Refunded — select the order status that will be applied based on partially refunded payment.
Mollie provides two models of APIs and there is a slight difference in available statuses for them.
Payments API does not use Completed status. See Payment status changes.
Orders API does not use Failed, Refunded and Partially Refunded statuses. See Order status changes.
Mollie options
You can find options under Settings in your Mollie Account Panel > More > Developers > API keys. See this article.
Live API Key — set your Live API key
Test API Key — test your test API key
Payment Description — the default value is VirtueMart: {ORDER_NR}, where {ORDER_NR} is the order number. This parameter is required to generate correct bank statement with necessary information about the order. The payment description on your customer's bank statement depends on the payment method they used for the transaction. For some payment methods, the description will show your organization's name and for others, it will show Mollie's name. Learn more. Note that this will work only for Payments API.
Send Order Items — this is an important parameter allowing to select which payment API should be used: Payments API or Orders API. If 'Send Order Items' parameter is set to 'Yes', then Mollie will work under Orders API and the cart items will be sent to Mollie. By default it is set to 'No' and Mollie works under Payments API.
Some payment methods work under Orders API only. You need to enable 'Send Order Items' to ensure that theses payment methods will appear on the Mollie's checkout. In other cases use Payments API. Learn more which payment methods require 'Orders API' model.
Send Shipping Address — send customer's shipping address (required for some payment methods, for example Klarna).
Language — there are 20+ languages and regional localisations which are available to select. By default it is Auto-detect (tries to use user language set in Joomla).
Fee per Transaction — a fixed surcharge for using Mollie as a payment method.
Fee as Percent of Total Amount — a surcharge as a percent of the total amount for using Mollie as a payment method
Tax — surcharge tax to apply.
