> ⚠️ **Important: Latest Node SDK Information**
>
> Mollie is transitioning to new, automatically generated SDKs.
> As a part of this transition, new features will be developed exclusively for the [new Node (TypeScript) SDK](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-typescript). We encourage you to migrate by **17 November 2026**, after which the legacy SDK will enter maintenance mode and receive no further updates.

# About
[Mollie](https://www.mollie.com/) builds payment products, commerce solutions and APIs that let you accept online and mobile payments, for small online stores and Fortune 500s alike. Accepting [credit and debit card][credit-card] ([Cartes Bancaires][cartes-bancaires], [PostePay][postepay]), [Alma][alma], [Apple Pay][apple-pay], [BACS Direct Debit][bacs], [BANCOMAT Pay][bancomat-pay], [Bancontact][bancontact], [SEPA Bank Transfer][bank-transfer], [Belfius Pay Button][belfius], [Billie][billie], [BLIK][blik], [SEPA Direct Debit][direct-debit], [EPS][eps], [iDEAL][ideal] ([in3][ideal-in3]), [KBC Payment Button][kbc-cbc], [Klarna][klarna] (Pay Later, Pay Now, Pay in 3, Financing), [Pay By Bank] [paybybank] [PayPal][paypal], [paysafecard][paysafecard], [Przelewy24][przelewy24], [Riverty][riverty], [Satispay][satispay], [Trustly][trustly], [TWINT][twint], [eco- gift- and meal vouchers][meal-eco-gift-vouchers] and [gift cards][gift-cards] online payments without fixed monthly costs or any punishing registration procedures. Just use the Mollie API to receive payments directly on your website or easily refund transactions to your customers.
### A note on use outside of Node.js
This library runs on any server-side JavaScript runtime that provides `fetch` and Node-compatible APIs — Node.js, Bun, and Deno, as well as edge runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers (with the `nodejs_compat` flag and a recent compatibility date). See [Requirements](#requirements) for the versions tested in CI.
On Deno, use the **named** import — `import { createMollieClient } from "npm:@mollie/api-client"` — rather than a default import, which Deno's CommonJS interop does not yet expose as callable.
What it is _not_ meant for is the browser. In the typical setup you make calls to the Mollie API ‒ through one of our libraries ‒ from your server, where your credentials sit safely out of reach of the outside world. If you were to include this library in a website or mobile app, your credentials would be shipped to your users, who could then act on your behalf.
To prevent this, the client throws when it detects a browser-like environment. If you understand the risk and have appropriate mitigations in place (for example a short-lived, narrowly-scoped access token rather than a full API key), you can bypass the check with the `dangerouslyAllowBrowser` option:
```js
const mollieClient = createMollieClient({ apiKey: 'test_...', dangerouslyAllowBrowser: true });
```
## Requirements
This library runs on any server-side JavaScript runtime with `fetch` and Node-compatible APIs. The following are verified in CI:
- Node.js 14 or greater.
- Bun 1.0 or greater.
- Deno 2.0 or greater.
It also runs on edge runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers, provided the `nodejs_compat` compatibility flag is enabled and a compatibility date of `2025-08-15` or later is set.
You will also need:
- A free [Mollie account](https://www.mollie.com/dashboard/signup).
- Your API keys, which you can find on your [dashboard](https://www.mollie.com/dashboard/developers/api-keys).
In order to accept payments in live mode, payment methods must be activated in your account. Just follow [a few steps](https://www.mollie.com/dashboard/onboarding) and let us handle the rest.
## Installation
Using [npm](https://npmjs.org/):
```sh
npm install @mollie/api-client
```
Using [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/):
```sh
yarn add @mollie/api-client
```
### Manual installation
Alternatively, you may use `git clone` or [download an archive](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-node/archive/master.zip).
## Getting started
Build the client.
Using JavaScript modules:
```javascript
import createMollieClient from '@mollie/api-client';
const mollieClient = createMollieClient({ apiKey: 'test_dHar4XY7LxsDOtmnkVtjNVWXLSlXsM' });
```
CommonJS-style:
```javascript
const { createMollieClient } = require('@mollie/api-client');
const mollieClient = createMollieClient({ apiKey: 'test_dHar4XY7LxsDOtmnkVtjNVWXLSlXsM' });
```
### Using an OAuth access token
When authenticating with an OAuth access token instead of an API key, most requests expect a `profileId`, and you opt into test mode with `testmode`. Rather than passing these on every call, you can configure them once as `parameterDefaults`. They are applied to every request that accepts them, unless the individual call specifies its own value (per-call values always take precedence):
```javascript
const mollieClient = createMollieClient({
accessToken: 'access_Wwvu7egPcJLLJ9Kb7J632x8wJ2zMeJ',
parameterDefaults: {
profileId: 'pfl_zcfJRjkf6P',
testmode: true,
},
});
```
`parameterDefaults` is only available together with an `accessToken`. With an API key the profile and mode are fixed by the key itself, so the Mollie API rejects these parameters.
### Create a new payment
```javascript
const payment = await mollieClient.payments.create({
amount: {
value: '10.00',
currency: 'EUR'
},
description: 'My first API payment',
redirectUrl: 'https://yourwebshop.example.org/order/123456',
webhookUrl: 'https://yourwebshop.example.org/webhook'
});
// Forward the customer to payment.getCheckoutUrl().
```
When the payment is made by your customer, Mollie will send you a webhook (to the URL specified as `webhookUrl`) informing your server about the status change of the payment.
### Check the status of a payment
```javascript
const payment = await mollieClient.payments.get('tr_8WhJKGmgBy');
// Check payment.status.
```
## Pagination and iteration
Composing one long list of all payments, orders, or customers would be too much work for the Mollie API. Furthermore, such a list could be too large for your server to process. For this reason, the Mollie API only returns a subset of the requested set of objects. In other words, the Mollie API chops the result of a certain API endpoint call into pages.
If you are designing a paginated view, you can use the `page` methods to retrieve one page at a time:
```javascript
// Retrieve the first 15 payments.
const payments = mollieClient.payments.page({ limit: 15 });
// payments.nextPageCursor is the cursor: the ID of the first payment on the next page.
```
Later:
```javascript
// Retrieve the second 15 payments (using the cursor from the previous page).
const payments = mollieClient.payments.page({ limit: 15, from: 'tr_8WhJKGmgBy' });
```
The `page` methods do not fit every use case. If you find yourself retrieving multiple pages to perform a single action, consider using the `iterate` methods instead:
```javascript
// Iterate over all payments.
for await (const payment of mollieClient.payments.iterate()) {
// (Use break to end the loop prematurely.)
}
```
The `iterate` methods perform the requests to the Mollie API for the objects you need. The following example will work regardless of whether the 10 resulting payments appear on the first page or are distributed across different pages:
```javascript
// Find the 10 most recent euro payments over €100.00.
const payments = mollieClient.payments.iterate()
.filter(({ amount }) => amount.currency == 'EUR' && parseFloat(amount.value) > 100)
.take(10);
```
## Guides
For a deep dive in how our systems function, we refer to [our excellent guides](https://docs.mollie.com/). These guides provide a complete overview of the Mollie API and cover specific topics dealing with a number of important aspects of the API.
## API reference
This library is a wrapper around our Mollie API. Some more specific details are better explained in [our API reference](https://docs.mollie.com/reference/), and you can also get a better understanding of how the requests look under the hood.
## Migrating
See [the migration guide](MIGRATION.md) if you are migrating from an older version of the library.
## Contributing
Want to help us make our API client even better? We take [pull requests](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-node/pulls), sure. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for development setup, our commit conventions, and the release process.
But how would you like to contribute to a technology oriented organization? Mollie is hiring developers and system engineers. [Check out our vacancies](https://jobs.mollie.com/) or [get in touch](mailto:personeel@mollie.com).
