Payments API, including information like the payment amount, description and the URL to redirect the customer. The API will then respond with and store a unique ID based on the payment. This ID will then be linked to your customer’s order and will navigate the customer to the checkout URL using Mollie API.

When the customer actually reaches the checkout page, they will choose the payment method to make the payment. After the payment is made by the customer, Mollie will inform your website about the payment status, by calling the webhook. After the response from the webhook, Mollie will consider the payment process as successful and the transaction will be complete, with an email sent to the customer that the transaction has been successfully executed.

After the email is sent, Mollie navigates the user back to the website and thanks the customer, letting them know that their payment has been received and their order is verified.
