Magento 2: Test payment methods

Test your payment methods in Mollie for Magento 2 by simulating various payment statuses.

Note

  • Use Mollie test credentials to test credit/debit cards.

  • Apple Pay Direct works only in a production environment and on Apple devices or Safari, but you can still test it using test mode.

  • Test Apple Pay Direct and the Bancontact QR code by making real payments, as they only work in live mode.

Switch to test mode

In test mode, Mollie simulates payments: no real money transfers occur.

  1. Log in to Magento 2.

  2. Go to Stores > Configuration.

  3. On the Configuration page, scroll to Mollie, select the arrow, and then General.

  4. Select Test from the Modus drop-down menu under API details.

  5. Save the changes.

Make a test payment

  1. Make a test purchase in your Magento 2 store.

    While making payment, a selection dialogue appears, enabling you to test various payment statuses.

  2. Select a payment status and click Continue.

    This takes you to a page that provides information about the payment's status. For example, if you selected Paid, the page confirms a successful payment.

Get status updates in local test environments

Mollie webhooks only work with public URLs. This means that when you're developing locally (for example, https://localhost:8000), you must create a temporary, public URL to tunnel Mollie HTTP traffic to your local host.

Note

In principle, your local environment remains public for as long as the tunnel exists. However, tunneling apps usually provide options for restricting access.

  1. Download and install a tunneling app. We recommend using ngrok↗.

  2. Start an HTTP tunnel:

    ngrok http 80 -region eu

    The output is similar to the following, and contains the URL of your public domain:

    Forwarding http://9229455c6109.eu.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:80

  3. Change the base URL manually in the backend of your Magento 2 installation.

    Alternatively, use n98-magerun↗ to change the URL:

    export SHOPHOST="acme-store.eu.ngrok.io"
n98-magerun2 config:store:set web/unsecure/base_url http://$SHOPHOST/
n98-magerun2 config:store:set web/secure/base_url https://$SHOPHOST/
n98-magerun2 config:store:set web/unsecure/base_link_url https://$SHOPHOST/
n98-magerun2 config:store:set web/secure/base_link_url https://$SHOPHOST/
n98-magerun2 cache:flush

  4. Depending on your installation, you may need to add the ngrok URL as a virtual host or alias to your Apache or NGINX server.

    If you run Laravel Valet or Laravel Valet +, run the following:

    valet link acme-store.eu.ngrok.io
