Check your club is eligible first. Mollie only opens merchant accounts for
organisations registered in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom. A club registered elsewhere (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Serbia or Australia,
for example) cannot connect Mollie: you keep collecting fees your usual way, and Paak
still tracks due dates, records the payments you receive and chases renewals.
Mollie is a Dutch payment provider that accepts cards (CB 1.20% + 0.25 €), SEPA direct debits (0.35 €/transaction), bank transfers, iDEAL, Bancontact (and TWINT for Swiss clubs), and more. Connection is via OAuth, no API keys to copy.
Step by step
- From the Management menu, open Settings, then the "Mollie Connection" card. If the card is greyed out, first choose "Online only" or "Both" in Payment Settings.
- Click "Connect Mollie": you're redirected to Mollie.
- Sign in to your Mollie account (or create one free) and authorize Paak.
- You return to Paak: the page refreshes and the "Connect Mollie" step switches to "Complete".
- The "Account Verification" step then tells you what to do, depending on Mollie's answer:
- "Complete Setup on Mollie": Mollie is waiting for information from you (identity, club documents). Click the button, finish on Mollie, then come back to Paak.
- "In Review": Mollie is reviewing your account, typically 1–2 business days. Nothing to do.
- "Nothing to do on your side": Mollie is finishing its account review. You can collect once a payment method is active and Paak displays "Send a payment link". Only payouts to the club’s bank account wait for the review to end.
- "Activate payment methods": open your Mollie dashboard, then Settings → Payment methods, on the profile used by your club. Enable at least one method, then return to Paak and click "Refresh status". For Swiss clubs, remember TWINT. Paak checks methods with Mollie; if verification fails, a message asks you to retry.
- "Ready to Collect" stays locked until Paak confirms an available payment method and permission to receive payments. It switches to "Complete" once account verification is also complete. The methods offered to members depend on the amount, currency and payment type.
Next step: send a payment link.

The status shown doesn't match what Mollie says?
Click "Refresh status" at the top of the card: Paak re-reads Mollie's answer and shows the time under the button ("Updated at…"). The page also refreshes by itself when you come back from the Mollie site. If Paak shows "We can't check the status with Mollie right now" and it keeps happening, write to us at contact@paak.club.
