Who handles what.
| Responsibility | Primary owner | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Legal seller and customer contract | You | The business remains seller and contracts with its buyer. |
| Indirect-tax registration, filing, and remittance | You | Mollie provides payment services, not an MoR transfer of seller liability. |

| Product and billing support | You | The business supports customers and billing operations. |
Questions to answer before signing.
- Which legal entity acquires and settles our transactions in each seller country?
- Which payment methods, currencies, capture modes, and recurring patterns are supported?
- What are the exact international-card, FX, refund, dispute, payout, and add-on fees?
- What tax registration, calculation, filing, remittance, and invoice work remains ours?
- What PCI DSS validation and checkout-security work applies to our integration?
- How are reserves, negative balances, account reviews, and payout delays handled?
- Can payment credentials, mandates, customers, and active subscriptions be exported or transferred?
- How do balance transactions reconcile to orders, fees, refunds, disputes, and bank payouts?
Plan the exit while entry is easy.
A dashboard export is not the same as a working migration. Verify these factors with Mollie and a realistic destination.
- Export customers, products, prices, invoices, refunds, disputes, and balance transactions.
- Confirm whether saved payment credentials and recurring mandates can move without asking every customer to pay again.
- Map subscription intervals, currencies, anchors, trials, discounts, cancellation state, and legacy prices.
- Replace provider-specific checkout, portal, webhook, invoice, and entitlement behavior.
- Run old and new reporting in parallel until gross sales, fees, taxes, refunds, and payouts reconcile.
- Retain source records needed for accounting, support, disputes, and statutory obligations after cutover.
