We run a platform on Mollie Connect, how do I book the flows?
With Mollie Connect you receive payments for sub-merchants and keep a fee. Accounting-wise it is a passthrough, not revenue, except for your own fee.
Try this first
- 1Create two ledger accounts: 'payouts to sub-merchants' (liability) and 'platform fee Mollie' (revenue).
- 2Book incoming customer payments fully on the payout account, not your revenue.
- 3On each payout to the sub-merchant split the amount into the passthrough part (liability down) and your fee (revenue up).
- 4VAT-wise you often only charge VAT on your platform fee, not on the passthrough, verify per business model with your accountant.
- 5Reconcile the payout account monthly, a residual balance means a missed payout.
When to bring us in
Marketplace models often hit VAT questions, we can run through the VAT position with a tax advisor.
