General understanding regarding onboarding and API usage

[empty imp]

Hey, Im currently building a Platform with Mollie Connect for Platforms.

When a user creates an account on my platform they can connect their mollie acocunt:
I use the oAuth flow to setup my app on their account. I save the authcode, refreshtoken and accesstoken to access the users mollie organization to create payments for example.

Now i found out about Client Links API. As far I understand, the Client Links API is for users without a mollie account to help them create a Mollie Account?

Isn't the same possible with the normale oAuth Authorize? Or do I lose with the oAuth Authorize Flow the ability to see status of the customer in my Mollie Account?

When I use the Client Links API, do I still need to connect the account via the oAuth App or do I get the authcode on this way also via some kind of webhook callback?

I want to play around with the Client Links and oAuth Authorize. Is there a way to get demo details to start a Client Links API flow? I test the oAuth2 integration with my own mollie account, where I setup the uAuth App.

Is it possible to develop my platform the way, that my users dont need to access the Mollie backend ever? (Organization Setup, Profile Setup, Payment Methods, Payouts, Chargebacks, etc.)

Also a question regarding profiles. The platform im building is like on domain pay.example.com. For each user/customer which is recieving payments on my platform, I need to create profile with that same domain?

Is a public beta release date for the sales-invoices api planned?

Also is it possible to get a call with a mollie (connect) staff member? I think a 15min chat would help me a lot building!
Thank you all for this awesome product!

Hello!

A lot of questions can be found in the Discord already (please use the search possibility for that) or in the docs itself.

Now i found out about Client Links API. As far I understand, the Client Links API is for users without a mollie account to help them create a Mollie Account?
That is correct. Keep in mind that the Client Links API is only available for registered and verified partners.

Isn't the same possible with the normale oAuth Authorize? Or do I lose with the oAuth Authorize Flow the ability to see status of the customer in my Mollie Account?
No. Client Links API is basically an OAuth Authorize flow on steriods 🙂

When I use the Client Links API, do I still need to connect the account via the oAuth App or do I get the authcode on this way also via some kind of webhook callback?
It's all explained in the docs 🙂

I want to play around with the Client Links and oAuth Authorize. Is there a way to get demo details to start a Client Links API flow? I test the oAuth2 integration with my own mollie account, where I setup the uAuth App.
No, unfortunately you can not as this endpoint is for verified partners only.

Is it possible to develop my platform the way, that my users dont need to access the Mollie backend ever? (Organization Setup, Profile Setup, Payment Methods, Payouts, Chargebacks, etc.)
No, this is not possible since the user is opening a financial account with Mollie and so has to do some (legal) stuff.

The platform im building is like on domain pay.example.com. For each user/customer which is recieving payments on my platform, I need to create profile with that same domain?
Yes. Your platform (or the user) should create a profile for that. Otherwise you are risking a blocked profile (or worse 🙂 )

Is a public beta release date for the sales-invoices api planned?

Unfortunately not. This is only available for (big) partners. But feel free to send an email to our support team which they can forward to the tech support team. Or use Discord! Not only Mollie staff, but also the community is ready to help 🙂

Thank you! Quick additional question, for the Client Links API, I need to use a access token for authorization. Where do I get this one? Do I need my to authorize my partner account with my oAuth App?

It’s all in the docs https://docs.mollie.com/reference/oauth-api, give a try - we promise you will like it 🙏🏻 also, there is a step by step video guide embedded so the process is easier to follow 😉

Hi, thx for the answer, but I dont mean for the oAuth Authorization, I mean for the Client Links API. But I got that part figured out. I created an API Key on the Developers page.
Now I've got another problem:

The Client Links API states: https://docs.mollie.com/reference/create-client-link
The clientLink URL behaves similar to the regular OAuth authorization URL. It supports the following parameters from the Authorize endpoint:
client_id
state
approval_prompt
scope

But when I try to use these parameters I get:
Non-existent query parameter "client_id" for this API call.

I also tried it via the body:
Non-existent body parameter "client_id" for this API call.

I think the best is to reach out to your integration manager. Unless @idle plover is available here 🙂

Is the integration manager the person from the partners team?

Your contact at Mollie indeed 😄
