Connect your app to Mollie
Connect your Mollie account to your Lovable app to accept European payments like iDEAL, Bancontact, and cards. You only need your Mollie API key to set up a secure checkout flow.
Anyone who wants to accept European payment methods in their app using their existing Mollie account.
Do this, in order
- 1
Open the Mollie Dashboard, navigate to Developers, select API keys, and copy your test API key.
The test key lets you safely simulate and test payments without transferring real money.
- 2
In Lovable, navigate to Connectors and select Mollie.
This opens the configuration screen for linking Mollie to your Lovable workspace.
- 3
Click Connect, enter a recognizable name (like 'Mollie Test'), and paste your API key.
Lovable needs your key to authenticate and communicate with the Mollie platform.
- 4
Choose your sharing settings under Sharing, then click Connect at the bottom of the form.
Lovable verifies your key with Mollie and saves the connection so your projects can use it.
- 5
Open your project chat and prompt Lovable to link your Mollie connection and build your payment flow.
This instructs Lovable to generate the checkout flow and payment status verification in your app.
Paste this into your project
Use Mollie and build a checkout page where customers can purchase an item, choose payment methods like iDEAL or card, and see an order confirmation only after Mollie marks the payment as paid.
Words decoded
- API key
- A secret password that lets your Lovable app talk directly to your Mollie account.
- Webhook
- An automated background notification Mollie sends to your app when a payment succeeds or fails.
Where people get stuck
- Do not use organization access tokens (starting with 'access_'); only profile API keys starting with 'test_' or 'live_' are supported.
- Do not assume a customer returning to your website means they paid; your app must wait for Mollie's official confirmation.
- If you see a 'No suitable payment methods found' error, make sure the payment method is activated in your Mollie profile for your currency and amount (test and live modes have separate settings).
- Live payments will fail if Mollie has not yet verified and activated your live merchant account.
