Mollie integration with ARForms — This is a powerful addon for the ARForms WordPress plugin that seamlessly integrates the Mollie payment gateway. It empowers you to collect payments, donations, or service fees through your forms with ease. By connecting ARForms and Mollie, you provide your customers with a smooth and secure checkout experience, supporting all major payment methods that Mollie offers, including credit cards, iDEAL, Bancontact, and more.
The integration is designed for simplicity and reliability. Once a user submits a form, they are redirected to the secure Mollie payment page to complete their transaction. After payment, Mollie sends a confirmation back to your site, and the form entry is automatically updated with the payment status. This automated process saves you time and reduces the risk of manual errors, ensuring all transaction data is accurately recorded within your WordPress dashboard.
Why This Integration Matters
In today's competitive online market, a complicated checkout process is a major conversion killer. Studies show that up to 21% of users abandon their cart if the payment process is too long or confusing. By integrating Mollie with ARForms, you eliminate this friction, offering a trusted and streamlined payment experience directly on your site. This is crucial for businesses selling services, collecting donations, or managing event registrations.
Furthermore, offering local payment methods can increase conversion rates by over 40% in some European markets. Mollie excels at this by providing access to dozens of payment options through a single integration. This plugin allows you to tap into that power, making your forms accessible and convenient for a global audience, which directly translates to more completed transactions and higher revenue for your business.

FAQ
Do I need both the ARForms plugin and this integration plugin?
Yes, this is an add-on plugin. It requires the core ARForms plugin to be installed and activated on your WordPress site to function. This plugin extends the functionality of ARForms by adding Mollie as a payment gateway option within the form settings.
Which payment methods are supported through this integration?
This integration supports all payment methods that you have enabled in your Mollie account. This includes major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Klarna, iDEAL, Bancontact, SOFORT Banking, and many others. Simply activate the desired methods in your Mollie Dashboard, and they will be available to your customers.
Can I set up recurring payments or subscriptions with this plugin?
This specific version of the integration is designed for one-time payments. It processes a single payment for each form submission. For recurring payments or subscription models, you would need an additional solution or a different version of the plugin specifically built for handling subscriptions via Mollie.
What happens if a customer's payment fails?
If a payment fails or is canceled by the user, Mollie will communicate this back to the plugin. The ARForms entry will be marked with a 'Failed' or 'Canceled' status. You can also configure a specific URL to redirect users to in case of payment failure, allowing you to provide them with further instructions or alternative payment options.
