 * Hello!
 * Eventually we want to use the recurring payment with a `1 months` interval, but
   I am currently testing with €1,00 and a `1 days` interval to make sure this is
   all working. Unfortunately, the money isn’t always taken out of the account. 
   The initial payment was on the 17th and since then it’s only had 3 renewals, 
   so 4 payments total in a week’s time.
 * Is this because of Paytium, or is this problem on Mollie’s side?
 * And for the interval, does the term still need to be in plural, as in `days` 
   or `months` when using 1? Or should it then be `1 day` or `1 month`?
 * Many thanks!

 * Are you testing with SEPA Direct Debit instead of credit card? Because SEPA Direct
   Debit has a processing time of multiple days.

 * Hi,
 * I’d like to chime in on this topic. At first I thought perhaps all I had to do
   is wait since in the Mollie dashboard it says something like (I’m translating
   to English from German here) “Payment will probably arrive around 14th of May”.
   So at first I thought perhaps that’s just 14 days after the first payment or 
   something, but then I found out that every (!) subscription payment will just
   delay for one more day each day. So I think something might not be working as
   it should here.
 * Some context: I set up a Mollie test-mode-payment using a SOFORT-payment as first
   payment and then SEPA direct debit (the one that automatically draws money from
   one account to another, without the credit card). The first payment runs through
   fine, but then the ones after that stay in orange color and it says something
   like “pending” (in German language). The next bank withdrawals are created fine
   in the Mollie Dashboard, but they stay at “pending” and will never go through(
   I waited for well over 2 weeks now to be sure). In the Paytium wordpress dashboard
   the circle turns green but never blue.
 * I believe this could be caused by Mollie being in testing mode, but I’d like 
   to ask whether this is probably the case or if there could be another issue I’m
   not thinking of here.
 * I’d rather not change to real mode before I can fully test what I could do with
   Paytium and what I can’t do, which is why I figured I’d rather ask before testing
   myself if the problem is connected to being in test mode or not.
 * I’d be thankful for any answer you can give me, and a nice day to you!
    Niklas
 * P.S.: If the subscription thing DOES work, quite a few people might be very thankful
   if there is an English version of the docs somewhere, or even a German one. This
   could be a very useful plugin to have, and it having English docs might increase
   its value by quite a lot, possibly increasing your sales of the pro version by
   quite a bit. Just saying after digging through Google-translated versions of 
   your docs to find out what I might be doing wrong 😉

 * Hi Niklas
 * You can use Google Translate to translate this page to English or German:

 * In test mode, the best way to test is by choosing a credit card as payment method.
   In that case everything should work.
 * Kind regards

 * Sorry for taking so long to reply, I wanted to test out something first, but 
   it got delayed somewhat.
 * I figured I’d just go to live mode and do a SEPA test payment of 2€ twice, but
   then Mollie said they don’t see an actual webshop so they won’t enable SEPA on
   live mode, and then things got a bit complicated.
 * I obviously want to test the system before I put it live somewhere for anyone
   to see, so I don’t really get why Mollie won’t let me do that.
 * Anyway, I’ll switch back to test mode now and see whether I’ll get it to work
   with credit card as a first step for the moment, then.
 * If that works out, I’ll probably develop a test-version of the actual payment
   site I was planning to develop after I tested everything and have Mollie check
   that, perhaps then they’ll allow me to have my test run as I wanted in the first
   place.
 * Thanks for your swift reply back then, and I’ll let you know whether I’ll get
   it to run the way I originally intended once I manage to 😉

 * (I wanted to edit my last post but I didn’t find that option, so I’ll update 
   as another post instead:)
 * Mollie support told me to try out with credit card in testing mode, as you did,
   which worked fine. They also told me to simply create the checkout page with 
   credit card first, and if that one works, I should contact Mollie support and
   they’ll enable SEPA quickly once they see it’s an actual payment page that makes
   sense to them.
 * So for anyone else that’s curious about how to have a go at this:
    1) create 
   a credit card auto-withdrawal to test the function 2) create an actual payment
   page for the real withdrawal with credit card auto-withdrawal 3) contact mollie
   support, show them the actual payment page and they’ll enable SEPA stuff
 * At least that’s what should work now.
 * Thx again for the quick reply!
    Niklas
