Discussion guide

  • Can you summarise the most important global ecommerce payment trends from the last 12 months – what has happened and what does it mean to ecommerce retailers?
    • Firstly, in the UK
    • Secondly in Europe
    • Then rest of world highlights
  • From your global transaction data, which payment methods are dominating for online transactions and any major shifts in %?
  • Mollie supports all major global and local payment methods via a single agreement: does Mollie bill directly for all card processing and payment fees, or are any fees paid by the customer direct to the payment providers?
  • What’s your fee structure and how does it vary across different payment methods e.g. is it flat rate based on GMV threshold, or interchange ++ ?
  • You use multiple acquirers: can you clarify for anyone new to this, what does this mean and how does this benefit the retailer?
  • How do you handle payment testing, as i’ve seen challenges in the past with connecting to Sandboxes for payment methods like Apple Pay?
  • You have a recurring payments feature: which card providers does this work with and how does this play with ecom platforms when customers want to pause/cancel/change frequency?
  • In what countries do you support direct debit eMandate and DD payment methods, how core is this to the UK customer based?
  • Payment requests let ecom teams send a request for a new payment to a customer: how does this sync with ecommerce platform order data so order level changes are aligned e.g. jewellery customer changes ring setting and CSA submit payment request for additional £200?
  • A frustration for Finance teams is delays in settlement: for which payment methods do you enable daily settlement?
  • You have integrations with accounting software: which vendors do you most frequently work with?
  • And finally, what’s a typical integration timeline for a new ecommerce customer switching Mollie on for all online payments: how many weeks from onboarding, to testing and then live and what support do you provide?
