Sometimes customers don't trust the pay-link I sent them, so they pay 'manualy' (banktransfer). The payment-status then remains "open".
Is there a way in the API to change the status?.
Now, I cancel them manualy, but that is a bit misleading to me, because it ís paid...just not with a mollie-link. I would like to give them an other status( like paid, expired, setteld ) or delete them would also be OK.

kind regards,

Dirk

Hi Dirk!

At the moment, it is not possible to archive a payment link via the API. Sorry 😦

I will tag @storm moon for visibility, so we can write this down for future improvements 🙂

Thank you,
There is actually another request I would like to make that would help me very much in the future.
I use a desktop-application for creating and sending payments, so I cannot use a webhook. Therefore, in order to check the status of a new payment, I have to make a request for ALL payments, and after that search for a payment with specific description/meta-data.
This will become a problem in the futere, when the number of payments grows...
A filter like "give me the payments of today", or "give met the last x payments" would be extremly helpfull!

I believe this request is not new, but maybe the more people make this request, the sooner it will be impleneted (if possible). 😉

kind regards,

Dirk Janssens.

To limit the set is already possible by adding the limit query param, like https://api.mollie.com/v2/payment-links?limit=20 for the last 20 links

#

Filtering is indeed on the list. Thanks 😄

@velvet lichen on your first point, I do not believe it is possible to change the status of the payment by you the merchant. And I think this makes sense cause it can break all kinds of stuff.

But I was wondering if the reason you would want to do this, is so that you can keep track of the orders from your merchants. Do you not have a different tool to manage your orders?

If they prefer to pay via bank transfer, why not use Mollie's banktransfer payment method?

HI,
@stuck helm I understand, I do have an other tool to manage this. It just would be handy to also see this in the mollie screens. (something like a status "payed otherwise" would be perfect, but I understand this can be complex for you.
@hybrid flax I already use that method, and use the link "payOnLine" in my mail, so they can choose how to do it, and the link is valid for a longer time.
Stll, some people prefer to do it "the old way", don't ask me why, because the link is indeed so much easier! 😀

Hi @velvet lichen ,
My apologies for the delayed replied here. Adding a few answers below:

  • yes indeed archiving is not in the API just yet for Payment Links but watch this space. We are planning some enhancement on this in the coming few weeks.
  • with regards to payments filter on the API. You are indeed correct, not the first time we hear the feedback indeed but it's very helpful to hear it as it helps us in prioritising things. I can't give an ETA on this one i am afraid but it's on our radar.
  • with regards to the 'old' versus the 'new (and better)' - we are indeed seeing this in other use cases and we also understand that for some people it takes a little longer to adopt new habits than others (good old adoption curve). Our goal is to make sure we help you in encouraging users to adopt the newer better solution but also help in the transition. I think archiving via the API will help mitigate for this. Another thing we are looking to do is to allow you to get the payments generated from a given link. I think this may be another helpful one as well. We are working in timeline for this but i can make sure to keep you posted on this topics as well.
