Save 20% On Your Transaction Fees

Anyone who sells products online, knows that profit margins are gold-dust. One of the things eating away at your margins is transaction fees; something payment gateway providers apply to every purchase on your store. We’ve partnered with Mollie to help you reduce this cost, and come with the news that you can unlock the best functionality and support, for rates that work out 20% lower than Stripe and Paypal on average.

Mollie-Pay may sound familiar, but trust me, this payment option has nothing to do with Tommy Fury. Despite this I would like to borrow a famous quote from the real Molly, who famously said we all have “the same 24 hours in the day”. This prompted an online backlash and arguably, rightly so, but mathematically she is not wrong. Time is limited, and we all need to work out how to best spend ours. I’m here to tell you that reading my 5-10 minute blog could save your business thousands of pounds. If that’s not an engaging hook that tempts you to read on, then I rest the case I make further down the page about human nature and shortening attention spans…

Verve Partners With Mollie To Bring You Huge Savings:

We’re proud to announce that Verve is now an official Mollie Partner. Mollie is trusted by over 250,000 businesses and comes with a state for the art dashboard for management and analytics. By switching to Mollie with Verve, you can:

  • Reduce transaction fees with exclusive partner rates.

  • Have a more reliable checkout with 30+ payment methods at the flick of a switch.

  • Have the safety net of industry leading customer support.

In this blog, I’ll explore why payment choice matters, how Mollie compares to other providers, and why working with Verve as your partner agency ensures the best possible rates, support, and seamless integration.

The Real Cost of Payment Fees

Every ecommerce business pays a percentage fee on every transaction. While it might seem small, these costs add up quickly:

  • Stripe and PayPal often charge premium fees with little room for negotiation.

  • For high-volume retailers, these fees can cut thousands (or even millions) from annual profit.

  • Mollie typically saves SMBs around 20% compared to Stripe’s fees.

And here’s the best part: because Verve is a Mollie Partner, we can secure even better rates for our clients. This means instant, compounding cost savings; without changing your entire tech stack.

Switching isn’t just about fees either. It’s about margin efficiency and scaling sustainably.

At the end of the day I run a lot of PPC (Google Ads) accounts, and we work very hard to pay as little as possible for the best clicks we can get you. If your website does a better job of converting these clicks because your customers don’t have to run off to find their card (then forget what they were doing), wait for a painful delay or navigate past checkout inefficiencies on mobile, then we can give you a better return on the clicks you’ve paid for. You’ll also see more of the revenue result in profit, as the fees are lower. This really is a win-win, and the conversations our whole team have had with Mollie have really impressed us.

Hyvä + Mollie: Checkout Built for Speed and Conversion

If you’re running on Magento, you’ve likely heard of Hyvä, which is a modern frontend framework revolutionising site speed and performance. Hyvä sites are lean, lightning-fast, and built for conversion. If you did not know this already, then you’ve clearly missed my previous blogs, and a big opportunity. Hyvä: The Best Ever Performance Upgrade For Magento 2.

But a fast storefront can still be let down by a poor checkout experience, and for some payment providers, the integration with Hyvä is either expensive, or simply not very good.

That’s why Hyvä and Mollie are the perfect pairing:

  • Native Integration → Mollie is fully compatible with Hyvä out of the box.

  • Speed Matters → Hyvä reduces page load times while Mollie reduces checkout friction. Together, they create the smoothest path to purchase.

  • Instant Toggle Options → With Mollie, you can turn payment methods on or off in seconds — no custom coding required.

  • Local Payment Methods → If you’re expanding into Europe, Mollie ensures you can offer iDEAL in the Netherlands, Klarna in Germany, and Apple Pay/Google Pay everywhere.

For Verve clients investing in Hyvä, pairing it with Mollie is the best choice. It ensures the speed you’ve gained from Hyvä translates all the way through to the point of payment.

Apple Pay and Google Pay: The Future of Frictionless Payments

At least 60% of ecommerce traffic now comes from mobile phones. In fact, at Verve we have a high-performing client with 95% of their traffic coming, and converting, on mobile. This change from the desktop era should have led to a revolution in how your checkout works. Typing card numbers on a small screen is frustrating and one of the leading causes of abandoned carts. Even if you don’t mind the typing, simply going to find a card and inputting the number takes time. When a customer is in the conversion mindset, time is potential friction, as every second is one in which the shopper may think again or be distracted. It boils down to the fact that humans are fundamentally lazy; our average attention span is now significantly less than 10 seconds.

In fact, if you have read this far then you are clearly an exceptionally diligent and engaged individual, and I for one, salute you. Generation Alpha may only consume information when its delivered within 10 seconds by a cute dancing animal on TikTok, but we can read on! Anyway, my point was:

Apple Pay and Google Pay make things easier and faster for your consumers. This makes them critical:

  • One-Tap Checkout → Customers can complete their purchase in seconds.

  • Secure and Trusted → Apple and Google have spent millions building trust. Use that to your advantage.

  • Cross-Device Ready → Works on mobile, desktop, and in-app purchases.

Mollie makes it simple to integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside all other major payment methods. The result? A faster, safer, and more convenient checkout experience, especially on mobile, where conversion rates have traditionally lagged behind desktop.

Mollie vs Stripe, PayPal, and Other Providers

When clients ask us why we recommend and have partnered with Mollie, the best explanation is to compare it to other major players:

  1. Fees → Mollie’s fees are typically 20% lower than Stripe or Paypal, and as a Verve client you get access to partner-exclusive rates.

  2. Integration → Mollie is plug-and-play with Magento, Hyvä, and other leading ecommerce platforms.

  3. Payment Options → Mollie supports 35+ local methods across Europe. Stripe and PayPal are far more limited.

  4. Support → Mollie provides high-touch, human support. Combined with Verve’s partner status, we ensure fast resolutions and hands-on integration help.

  5. Growth Tools → From one-click checkout to recurring payments, Mollie scales with your business.

Dedicated Support: Mollie + Verve

If you’d sat in Verve’s HQ, you’d know first hand that there is nothing more antagonising than a third-party provider that simply cannot get their act together. They almost certainly use an AI chatbot with an annoying Americanised name like Chad, and trying to get through to an actual human who can help is the 21st century equivalent of a camel going through the eye of a needle. Trust me, some payment providers love long delays, lost tickets and generic responses. Mollie don’t, which is why I can write this blog without our developers chasing me out of Shrewsbury.

With Mollie and Verve you are guaranteed:

  • Dedicated partner support with faster response times.

  • Seamless integration with Verve handling the heavy lifting.

  • Ongoing optimisation as we don’t just “set it and forget it.” We work with Mollie to refine your checkout strategy and increase conversions.

When you partner with Verve, you’re not just choosing Mollie. You’re choosing a trusted digital agency that knows your business and has direct access to Mollie’s partner team.
