Advantages and disadvantages of mollie under the magnifying glass
Mollie has three key advantages over other providers:
- An uncomplicated connection (via plugin)
- Fair cost per transaction (cheaper than competitors)
- All major payment methods under one roof (including PayPal)
Especially PayPal is not directly included with other providers like Stripe or WooCommerce Payments. Here, Mollie solves a problem and still manages all payments with a very simple interface. We only see noteworthy disadvantages with Mollie for very special payment methods (e.g. Alipay) and duration on the market. In addition, the payment form can only be customized a little without WooCommerce developers. But that is complaining on a very high level.
Another advantage mollie offers is recurring payments. You can also offer subscriptions. Whether monthly, semi-annually or annually.
In the end, we were very excited about the German support and setup via plugin and interface. Below we have compared the advantages and disadvantages in a list:
Advantages
- No contract period
- German support
- No monthly basic fee
- Favorable transaction costs
- Simple connection
- Subscription model possible
- Only one plugin needed
Disadvantages
- Provider only on the market since 2020
- Design not easily customizable
- special payment methods would have to be added manually
Management and statistics in mollie for WooCommerce compared
If you're wondering why Mollie has its own dashboard with statistics, we'll shed some light here. Although you already have an overview with numbers in WooCommerce, you can filter especially the transactions much better in Mollie. For example, you can see which payment method is popular in your store and directly if payments are still pending.
There are numerous free plugins that provide little information about this, effectively losing customers.
Conclusion and test result for mollie
Even though the provider mollie is still comparatively young on the market, the payment service provider solves many common problems. For store operators, high transaction costs and complicated overviews are a real challenge. In our projects as a WooCommerce agency, we have had only positive experiences since the integration. Even store operators without expert knowledge can easily cope with the simple operation and interface. In addition, small store operators are given an ideal start in eCommerce (online trade) without contract periods or fixed fees.
Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and we would award an extra point for the quick setup. The bottom line is that it not only saves time and nerves, but also a few Euros every month.
