Payment services for European businesses

Mollie's Payments API now supports embedded saved cards — a real concession to merchants who own their checkout.

Current state
Mollie just enabled saving cards during checkout directly via the Payments API, letting merchants build fully embedded 1-click flows without redirecting to Mollie's hosted page. Alongside it: partial credit notes for specific invoice items, a new Methods Component beta for custom low-code checkouts, expanded webhook reference with permission requirements, and integration updates (Prestashop 6.4.3, VirtueMart for Joomla). Several smaller dashboard ergonomics ship in the same window.
Where it's heading
Mollie is repositioning from a hosted-checkout payments processor toward a more developer-platform shape — saved cards in the Payments API, the Methods Component low-code SDK, and the Unmatched credit transfers API all point the same direction. The webhook reference work and Token ID search in logs suggest the team is building for serious integrators who run Mollie alongside other payment rails.
Prediction
Expect more checkout primitives to migrate from hosted-only to API-accessible (likely subscriptions and recurring billing next), and the Methods Component beta to graduate with deeper customization. Continued European e-commerce platform integrations remain on the conveyor belt.

    Save card during checkout via the Payments API

    ⚡ SPARK

    Save-card-during-checkout is now exposed via the Payments API, so merchants can build embedded 1-click experiences without bouncing customers to Mollie's hosted pages. This is the most architecturally meaningful Mollie move in the window — it cedes hosted-page revenue capture in exchange for sticking with merchants who insist on owning the checkout.

    Partial credit notes per invoice item, with discount support

    Partial credit notes for individual invoice items, with discount handling at line and invoice level. Removes the need to fully credit-and-reissue an invoice for small changes — a meaningful operational improvement for finance teams.
