Which ‘API Method’ should I use?

↑ Back to top

Within the Mollie settings is the option to use either the ‘Payment’ or ‘Orders’ API, although Mollie no longer recommends implementing the Orders API.
Please refer to the Payments API instead

You can switch to the ‘Payments API’ directly from the extension settings, via: 
WP Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings > Mollie Settings > Advanced > Select API Method.

Please temporarily enable the WordPress Debug Mode. Edit your wp-config.php and set the constants WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG to true and try it again. When the plugin triggers an error, WordPress will log the error to the log file /wp-content/debug.log. Please check this file for errors. When done, don’t forget to turn off the WordPress debug mode by setting the two constants WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG back to false.
