PrestaShop: Understand Mollie statuses

After an order has been submitted, Mollie keeps track of the payment's status and sends it to PrestaShop. At the same time, PrestaShop keeps track of the order's status and sends it to Mollie. In both cases, the Mollie for PrestaShop module acts as an intermediary and passes on status changes in both directions.

Because Mollie has its own standard set of payment and order statuses, whose names may not exactly match PrestaShop's, the Mollie for PrestaShop module has to translate PrestaShop 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 PrestaShop.

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.
