WooCommerce: Set up bank transfers

In addition to the common Mollie for WooCommerce features described in Customise your checkout and Localise your checkout, you can also have the following features at your disposal for bank transfers:

  • Prevent premature order cancellation

  • Skip the Mollie Checkout

Prevent premature order cancellation

The WooCommerce Hold stock (minutes) feature in your dashboard under WooCommerce > Settings > Products lets you specify how long to hold orders with the status Pending before cancelling them.

Bank transfers usually take significantly longer than other payment methods, which is why Mollie for WooCommerce lets you give an order a different initial status in order to avoid premature cancellation.

  1. Log in to WooCommerce.

  2. Go to WooCommerce > Settings.

  3. Select the Mollie Settings tab.

  4. Select Edit next to Bank Transfer.

  5. Scroll down to the Initial order status drop-down menu and ensure that On hold is selected.

  6. Save the changes.

Skip the Mollie Checkout

By default, Mollie for WooCommerce redirects your customers to the Mollie Checkout when they pay. Instead, you can redirect your customers to the WooCommerce "Thank you" page where they will see how to complete the bank transfer.

  1. Log in to WooCommerce.

  2. Go to WooCommerce > Settings.

  3. Select the Mollie Settings tab.

  4. Select Edit next to Bank Transfer.

  5. Scroll down to Skip Mollie payment screen and select Skip Mollie payment screen when Bank Transfer is selected.

  6. Save the changes.
