Mollie Payments and the i-Reserve Reservation System

Who is Mollie Payments?

In 2004, Mollie was founded as a Dutch payment provider by Adriaan Mol. Initially focusing on offering business SMS messaging services, he quickly moved on to developing software that could be connected to iDEAL, which was first introduced in the Netherlands in 2005. Mol had a clear vision: he wanted to create a modern way of paying that was also straightforward to implement. In the years that followed, Mol directed his attention increasingly towards the entire payments ecosystem. This proved to be a highly rewarding endeavour. As he moved his services more into the background, the company gained ground at an impressive pace. With a team of around seven hundred skilled and driven employees, Mollie now has offices spread across several European countries and serves nearly 130,000 customers.

Mollie Payments and the i-Reserve Reservation System

The i-Reserve reservation system has therefore entered into a partnership with Mollie Payments. This integration gives customers the ability to pay for their reservation directly online and ensures that reservations and payments are managed in one convenient system. This saves businesses time and hassle, allowing you to focus on what you do best: running your business.

What is the Mollie Payments Foundation?

It is clear that Mollie has grown into one of the most well-known payment providers in the Netherlands and across Europe. The foundation's goal is to become everyone's favourite and to be a market leader — achieved by combining a variety of payment methods with a simple method of integration and use that can be deployed for the payment traffic of online shops and other businesses, including via credit card and iDEAL. Tailor-made payment solutions, as one might put it.

Of course, the aforementioned successes could not have taken place without a solid security policy. Not only has the Dutch National Bank given its approval to the Mollie Payments foundation as a payment provider, but the transactions processed through them are also PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) certified. This ensures you benefit from an internationally established security standard designed to protect payment card data.

What features does Mollie Payments offer?

A good payment service provider is of great importance to every business. However, beyond ensuring secure payments, the services of a good payment provider go much further. Mollie is also focused on getting the best out of you and, above all, your business. Which tools contribute to a trusted payment experience and how do you increase conversion?

Payment features

Mollie primarily takes care of receiving and processing transactions for a business. iDEAL was the front-runner here for a long time, but by now several alternatives have also proven their worth. Payment methods such as Klarna and PayPal have quickly become part of the options Mollie offers its customers. This aligns with the preference customers generally have for being able to choose from a range of payment methods. With so many people come so many preferences, and you can quickly boost your conversion rate by increasing the likelihood that everyone's preferred payment method is available.

Mollie brings all payment methods together in one system, making it accessible and cost-effective for you as a business owner. Even in the case of international payment traffic, Mollie offers possibilities through connections with the most widely used online payment methods from numerous countries. This means you can accept payments from around the world.

Recurring

As a business, you want to operate as efficiently as possible, which also means collecting recurring payments quickly and easily. The so-called recurring feature gives you the ability to regularly collect fixed amounts. To make things as straightforward as possible for your customers, you can enable them to pay amounts in instalments, as well as to pay variable amounts in the case of recurring payments. This flexibility ensures that payment traffic is always customer-oriented and tailored accordingly.

Checkout

Naturally, your business revolves around generating revenue that ideally leads to profit. A well-known problem, however, is that many visitors — and therefore potential customers — drop off in the final stage of their visit to a website. To ensure a successful reservation for your business, a clear and fully functional checkout is therefore of great importance.

As a business owner, you know better than anyone that customers place great value on a comfortable environment that is clear and straightforward, whilst simultaneously providing a sense of security, trustworthiness, and familiarity. Mollie therefore offers the ability to customise the checkout to match your corporate identity. In addition, payment details and preferences can be saved, and every transaction benefits from optimal security.

Dashboard

In addition to the aspects mentioned above, a clear and comprehensive overview of all completed payments is equally important. Part of the service Mollie provides is the Dashboard — a well-organised space where you can easily find specific details relating to reservations, such as order numbers, amounts, and customer names. By entering search queries within a specific time period or by status, you can quickly retrieve the data you need. The software provides you with real-time data. Analyses are generated swiftly, helping you to improve your business performance, and managing and monitoring your administration has never been easier.

Why choose Mollie Payments in combination with our reservation system?

For every business partner, clarity about background, vision, and mission is essential — but it is equally important to understand what possibilities a potential partner offers. After all, Mollie is not the only payment processor. To make a well-informed decision, it is important to look at aspects such as service quality and reliability. For this, you naturally look at past performance as a basis for forming an idea of future results. The successes achieved and the enormous growth Mollie has experienced provide ample reason to choose Mollie Payments as your payment provider. And there is more:

• The costs: Mollie's implementation costs are low, and clear, fixed pricing is displayed throughout.
