Login to Mollie dashboard in the sidebar you will see developers, click on developers to get your API Key.

We will add one more column in your users existing table,enter the below command to create migration file

php artisan make:migration add_mollie_customer_id_to_users_table --table=user

Now go to app/database/migrations/ and look for this file 2021_01_28_045936_add_mollie_customer_id_to_users_table.php. Open that file and the below code.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AddMollieCustomerIdToUsersTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('mollie_customer_id')->after('email_verified_at')->nullable();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            //

}

Now run the below command to column to your users table

php artisan migrate

Step: 6 Create Controller

Now run the below command to create controller

php artisan make:controller MollieController

The above command will create a controller under app/Http/Controllers

Now add the below code in your MollieController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Mollie\Laravel\Facades\Mollie;
use Auth;
use App\Models\user;

class MollieController extends Controller
{   

    public function  __construct() 
    {
        Mollie::api()->setApiKey('test_FbVACj7UbsdkHtAUWnCnmSNGFWMuuA');
    }

    /**
     * Create Mollie Payment
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function createPayment()
    {   
        
        // check if customer already created or not
        $mollie_customer_id = User::where('id',Auth::user()->id)->pluck('mollie_customer_id')->first();

        if (empty($mollie_customer_id)) {
            //API to create customer
            $customer = Mollie::api()->customers->create([
                "name" => Auth::user()->name,
                "email" => Auth::user()->email,
            ]);

            $mollie_customer_id = $customer->id;

            User::where('id',Auth::user()->id)->update(['mollie_customer_id'=>$mollie_customer_id]);
        }

        // Creating Payment
        $payment = Mollie::api()->customers->get($mollie_customer_id)->createPayment([
            "amount" => [
               "currency" => "EUR",
               "value" => "1.00",
            ],
            "description" => "CodeHunger Software",
            "sequenceType" => "first",
            "redirectUrl" => route('mollie.payment.success'), // after the payment completion where you to redirect
        ]);

        $payment = Mollie::api()->payments()->get($payment->id);
        
        // redirect customer to Mollie checkout page
        return redirect($payment->getCheckoutUrl(), 303);
        
    }

    /**
     * Create Mollie Subscription
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function createMollieSubscription()
    {
        $mollie_customer_id = User::where('id',Auth::user()->id)->pluck('mollie_customer_id')->first();

        $customer = Mollie::api()->customers->get($mollie_customer_id);

        $subscription = $customer->createSubscription([
            "description" => "Quarterly payment",
            "interval" => "3 months",
            "amount" => [
                "currency" => "EUR",
                "value" => "25.00",
            ],
            "times" => 12,
        ]);
        dd($subscription);
    }

    /**
     * Page redirection after the successfull payment
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function paymentSuccess() 
    {   
        return view('mollie-success')->with('status','payment succesfully received');
    }
}

Step: 7 Add Routes

Now add the below routes in your routes/web.php file, first add namespace on the top

use App\Http\Controllers\MollieController;

//Mollie Payment
Route::get('mollie-payment-success',[MollieController::Class, 'paymentSuccess'])->name('mollie.payment.success');
Route::get('mollie-create-payment',[MollieController::Class,'createPayment'])->name('mollie.create.payment');
Route::get('create-mollie-subscription',[MollieController::Class,'createMollieSubscription'])->name('create.mollie.subscription');

Step: 8 Add Blade Files

Now create one blade file named mollie-success.blade.php under resources/views and add the below code

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="pricing-header px-3 py-3 pt-md-5 pb-md-4 mx-auto text-center">
    <h1 class="display-4">Choose One Plan To Subscribe</h1>
</div>
<div class="container">
    @if (!empty($status) || Session::get('status'))
        <div class="alert alert-success alert-block">
            <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>    
            <strong>{{ $status ?? Session::get('status')}}</strong>
        </div>
    @endif
    <div class="card-deck mb-3 text-center">
      <div class="card mb-4 box-shadow">
        <div class="card-header">
          <h4 class="my-0 font-weight-normal">Free</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
          <h1 class="card-title pricing-card-title">&#128;0 <small class="text-muted">/ mo</small></h1>
          <ul class="list-unstyled mt-3 mb-4">
            <li>10 users included</li>
            <li>2 GB of storage</li>
            <li>Email support</li>
            <li>Help center access</li>
          </ul>
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-block btn-outline-primary">Sign up for free</button>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="card mb-4 box-shadow">
        <div class="card-header">
          <h4 class="my-0 font-weight-normal">Pro</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
          <h1 class="card-title pricing-card-title">&#128;15 <small class="text-muted">/ mo</small></h1>
          <ul class="list-unstyled mt-3 mb-4">
            <li>20 users included</li>
            <li>10 GB of storage</li>
            <li>Priority email support</li>
            <li>Help center access</li>
          </ul>
            <a href="{{route('create.mollie.subscription')}}" class="btn btn-lg btn-block btn-primary">Get started</a>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="card mb-4 box-shadow">
        <div class="card-header">
          <h4 class="my-0 font-weight-normal">Enterprise</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
          <h1 class="card-title pricing-card-title">&#128;29 <small class="text-muted">/ mo</small></h1>
          <ul class="list-unstyled mt-3 mb-4">
            <li>30 users included</li>
            <li>15 GB of storage</li>
            <li>Phone and email support</li>
            <li>Help center access</li>
          </ul>
            <a href="{{route('create.mollie.subscription')}}" class="btn btn-lg btn-block btn-primary">Get started</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
</div>
@endsection

Now go to resources/views and open home.blade.php and add the below code.

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>

                <div class="card-body">
                    @if (session('status'))
                        <div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
                            {{ session('status') }}
                        </div>
                    @endif

                    Please make a payment of  1 EUR 
                    <a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{route('mollie.create.payment')}}">Pay 1 EUR</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
@endsection

Note: To create a subscription in mollie User must have a previous payment with your portal, otherwise you have to force the user to make a small payment. I will do the same during the test.

Step: 9 Test The integration

To test the integration run the below command

php artisan serve

Now go to your browser address bar and type the below URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Now click on register and create one account.

After logged in you have screen something like below now click on payment of 1 Eur here I am trying to capture user credit card to enable subscription.

When you click on pay 1 EUR you will be redirected to mollie payment page, choose credit card and make payment.

After the payment subscription page has been enabled

When you click on the get started you will get the response like something below, which means you are successfully subscribed to mollie.
