Shopware 6 Plugin: Understand Mollie statuses

After a customer has purchased an order, Mollie keeps track of changes in the payment status and sends them to Shopware 6. At the same time, the Mollie Plugin for Shopware 6 plugin monitors Shopware 6 for changes in the order status and sends them to Mollie. In both cases, the plugin acts as an intermediary, passing on changes in both directions.

Because Mollie has its own standard set of payment and order statuses, whose names may not exactly match Shopware 6's, the Mollie Plugin for Shopware 6 plugin has to translate Shopware 6 status names into the equivalent Mollie status names, and vice versa. That is why the payment or order status that you see in your Mollie Dashboard may differ from the status you see in Shopware 6.

Two Mollie status flows are possible, depending on the API method used for a payment. When configuring a payment method you can choose between the Payments API, which handles payment statuses, or the Orders API, which handles order statuses.
