Sell tickets with Mollie

Mollie processes online payments for over 130 thousand organisations. They ensure that customers and visitors can easily make payments to your organisation. Mollie is widely used in processing payments for web shops. But the Mollie platform is also suitable for ticket sales. However, Mollie does not have built-in functionalities for selling tickets. You therefore need to connect Mollie to a platform with features for ticket sales.

Many organisers have tried to use e-commerce systems for ticket sales. This is logical, since there are many high-quality e-commerce tools available nowadays. However, in most cases this does not have the desired effect. E-commerce platforms are designed for product sales and not for ticket sales. WeTicket has therefore specialised in selling tickets via the Mollie platform. As an organizer it is very beneficial to work with Mollie. In this article we will tell you more about the advantages and we will show you how the connection works.

Benefits of Mollie

Benefit 1: By selling tickets through Mollie, you receive payments directly to your Mollie account. At Mollie, you can then set the frequency at which you want to receive payments on your account. You can choose to receive payments monthly, weekly, daily or after your event. Many other ticketing systems only pay out money after the event has ended. This can mean that you have to wait a long time for your money. Having your ticket sales processed through Mollie can make a big difference to your cash flow.

Benefit 2: The costs for processing payments are lower by linking your ticket sales system to Mollie. This way, you can process payments directly without the intervention of a ticketing system. If your ticketing system processes payments for your organisation, then in almost all cases they will charge you for this mediation. In other words, you pay for the processing of payments and for the mediation of the ticketing system. At the end of the day, you'll save a lot of money if you let your payments go through Mollie.‍

Benefit 3: From your Mollie account, you can specify which payment methods you want to activate. Mollie supports all regular methods and this makes you flexible. By activating multiple payment methods, you'll also make it easier to attract foreign visitors. Ticket sales systems that are not linked to Mollie (or a similar provider) don't have this advantage in many cases. You're stuck with the payment methods they support.

Benefit 4: Mollie ensures security. Mollie is approved by the Dutch Bank. In addition, they are also PCI and DSS certified. This abbreviation stands for Payment Card Industry and Data Security Standard. In addition, Mollie is a large company (value 5.4 billion) and in recent years they have been able to guarantee the payments of their 130 thousand customers.
