Laravel Cashier for Mollie is a first-party Laravel Cashier package—created and maintained by Sander van Hooft —which provides an expressive, fluent interface to subscriptions using Mollie’s billing services. This package is a massive win for working with European customers.

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub at laravel/cashier-mollie.

To give you a quick preview of the ease of working with this package here’s a basic controller example for creating a subscription from the readme:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
 
class CreateSubscriptionController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @param string $plan
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
     */
    public function __invoke(string $plan)
    {
        $user = Auth::user();
 
        $name = ucfirst($plan) . ' membership';
 
        if(!$user->subscribed($name, $plan)) {
 
            $result = $user->newSubscription($name, $plan)->create();
 
            if(is_a($result, RedirectResponse::class)) {
                return $result; // Redirect to Mollie checkout
            }
 
            return back()->with('status', 'Welcome to the ' . $plan . ' plan');
        }
 
        return back()->with('status', 'You are already on the ' . $plan . ' plan');
    }
}
