GraphQL integration

GraphQL allows you to query data from an external system in the format your application requires. This allows you to build a complete custom frontend for your Magento store, but still manage all products, categories, orders, etc. within Magento. The implementation of Mollie allows you to place an order within Magento using one of the Mollie payment methods.

In version 1.26.0 the GraphQL implementation has changed so that it complies with the regular Magento flow. The original flow still works but is deprecated so it's recommended that you use the new flow.

Retrieve the available payment methods

This is the regular Magento GraphQL query, but enhanced with Mollie specific attributes:

query {
  cart(cart_id: "{{cart_token}}") {
    available_payment_methods {
      code
      title
      mollie_meta {
          image
      }
      mollie_available_issuers {
        name
        code
        image
        svg
      }
    }
  }
}

In here, the mollie_meta and mollie_available_issuers attributes are added.

Set the payment method

When setting the payment method on the cart, you can add the issuer that the user has selected in your frontend:

mutation {
  setPaymentMethodOnCart(input: {
      cart_id: "{{cart_token}}"
      payment_method: {
          code: "mollie_methods_ideal"
          mollie_selected_issuer: "ideal_ABNANL2A"
      }
  }) {
    cart {
      selected_payment_method {
        code
      }
      mollie_available_issuers {
        name
        code
        image
        svg
      }
    }
  }
}

Placing the order

When placing the order you can request the mollie_redirect_url. This is where you need to redirect your customer after placing the order to finish the transaction. After finishing the transaction the user is redirected back to the Magento store, or the URL configured in the advanced settings.

mutation PlaceMollieOrder {
  placeOrder(input: {
      cart_id: "{{cart_token}}"
  }) {
    order {
      mollie_redirect_url
      mollie_payment_token
    }
  }
}

Before version 1.26.0

To create an order using GraphQL you normally should roughly follow these steps:

• Create a shopping cart
• Add products
• Select Shipping method
• Get payment methods
• Select Payment method
• Place order

When placing an order using Mollie the method should look like this (bold = changed/new):

• Create a shopping cart
• Add products
• Select Shipping method
• Get payment methods (and retrieve a list of available issuers)
• Select Payment method
• Place order (but add mollie_payment_token in your request)
• Start the mollie transaction by calling createMollieTransaction (add the value of mollie_payment_token and issuers in your request)
• This last step will return the checkout URL. You need to redirect your customer to this URL so the payment can be handled by Mollie.

The Mollie extension also allows you to retrieve the order details using the generated payment token.

Example request

Request the available payment methods with issuers

query {
  cart(cart_id: "{{cart_token}}") {
    available_payment_methods {
      code
      title
      mollie_meta {
        image
      }
      mollie_available_issuers {
        name
        code
        image
        svg
      }
    }
  }
}

Request the available issuers for the current cart

query {
  cart(cart_id: "{{cart_token}}") {
    selected_payment_method {
      code
      mollie_meta {
        image
      }
    }
    mollie_available_issuers {
      name
      code
      image
      svg
    }
  }
}

Place order request

mutation {
  placeOrder(input: {
      cart_id: "{{cart_token}}"
  }) {
    order {
      order_id
      mollie_payment_token
    }
  }
}

Create Mollie Transaction request

mutation {
  createMollieTransaction(input: {
      payment_token: "{{payment_token}}"
      issuer: "{{issuer}}"
  }) {
    checkout_url
  }
}

Retrieve the customer order

type Query {
    mollieCustomerOrder (
        hash: "{{payment_token}}"
    ) {
        id
        increment_id
        created_at
        grand_total
        status
    }
}
