    I’m code-illiterate but I’ll try to explain our problem as best as I can.

    Our site uses mollie for woocommerce to process purchases and renewal payments for our subscription service. The vast majority of our clients use Sepa Direct debit for this. However, since november 2021 users have increasingly failed to renew. Where before a mollie direct debit order was created (which could then either succeed or fail), these days they oftentimes don’t even get to that step. On the back-end of the site we can read that a “manual renewal request has been made in attendance of client payment”, which had never occurred before. No Mollie orders are created when this happens. This ONLY happens with sepa direct debit, but not to all of them (we’ve had successful sepa debits via mollie just four days ago).

    What are we doing wrong? I noticed a few other users had a similar issue but I’m surprised there are only so few — we’ve got over a hundred subscribers in wait for months. We’re on Mollie 7.04 right now.

    Hi @davidfromlava,

    The last update of 2021 was in early November, and that was one of the most stable Mollie versions to date (as Mollie v7 introduced major changes in February).
    The latest version 7.0.4 has a bug that causes SEPA Direct Debit renewal orders to remain in the status “Pending payment” instead of moving to “On-hold” to prevent them from being canceled by the WooCommerce stock management.
    But beyond this, we are not seeing any increased issue reports regarding subscription renewal payments.

    Could you please give it a try with version 7.0.2?:

    We would also be interested in a copy of your WooCommerce system report and the latest Mollie log files if you could send us a private message from here: https://mollie.inpsyde.com/docs/request-support/
    Please include a link to this thread.
    Thanks!

    Kind regards,
    Niklas

    Hi @niklasinpsyde,

    Thanks for the speedy reply. I’ve opened a support ticket via the link you shared.

    I think the issue goes deeper than that. Upon contacting a few of our customers, we learned that those attributed with the “Awaiting manual payment”-comment actually receive an email with an invoice and a link to a payment request. In other words, the automatic yearly direct debit changed to a manual renewal, without warning to either us or our customers.

    Clicking the link and making the payment does result in a successful renewal, but it’s a mystery to me why the direct debit discontinued in the first place.

    Hi there,

    The problem is growing apace, our heap of customers in limbo increasing each week. In the meantime, I’ve been on the phone with the mollie support hotline. They’re convinced the problem is caused by woocommerce, not mollie, given that the payment orders are generated there and only processed by mollie. Seems plausible, but the woocommerce people sent me to mollie to get the problem fixed in the first place. I’ll see if they can make me any wiser.

    Hi there,

    I’m joining this conversation as we have noticed that the problem still exists.
    We are also on 7.0.2. for months now. It’s a workaround and still comes with the neccessary troubles.

    We noticed 7.2 is out. Can you let us know if this is addressed in the new version?

    We run multiple Subscription sites with large revenue. The last thing we want is a workaround. Hope you are willing to make this a priority. If more explanation is needed, please let us know.

    We’d be glad to help if we can.
